With my photographer back in the co-pilot seat, we ended up with a little over 750 pictures from the trip. Here's a few...

Wayne,

Next time your headed south on 16, stay on it to 58. Head west to Damascus. Trust me on this one. That road is feckin' bonkers in spots!

Give my compliments to the photographer.

Wayne,

Then go south on 133 (From Damascus) & end up smack dab in Shady Valley.

Yup, I didn't have time for that ride on the way down, and I wanted to get an early start on the trip home so I skipped the Snake.

Oh, since were talking about SW VA, the ride up 16 was much better than the ride down (rain, fog, mud). Guess the rain on Saturday did it's job and washed the road clean. Mind you, rounding a switchback late in the day finds the sun squarely in your face and you lose the road. That put a couple of grip marks in the new Russell.

Awesome Stuff!

That picture of the banquet room reminds me of the goobers who thought it was a good idea to warm up while we were trying desperately to hear.. doh!

Fred gave them a talkingto and they quieted that down

Thanks again Wayne for all your effort, had a great time!

After running over to Cherokee to pickup a t-shirt for the wife, I worked my way over to NC-209 and rode up to Hot Springs then on to Erwin and Unicoi. Then I got on to I-26 and took that to Weber City where I picked up US-58 East to I-81. Finally it was time to get on the slab for the ride home. I arrived at 0645 hours the next morning. It was a good day with19.5 hours in the saddle including fuel and meal stops.

Color me jealous.

Looky what I came across on the internet......

That's a proof from US 129 Photos.com of me about to blow by that silly car tire guy. Bringing a car tire to the Smokey Mountains is like bringing a peashooter to a gunfight.

What Ray is looking for now is a set of titanium peg feelers so he can shoot sparks when he gets that bad boy car tire up on the edge. That would be awesome!!

Looky what I came across on the internet......

*SNIPPED* !

You shouldn't post pics of stunts like that.

You're putting crazy ideas in peoples heads.

Someone's gonna get hurt....
