Smoky Mountain Park area

[Calabash]

The weather was sunny in the low 80's and there were bikes galore out this Saturday, my arm is sore from waving so much. Here are some more pictures of the area around Deal at Deals Gap.

I pulled over in the middle of the Smoky Mountains next to a stream because the sunlight filtering through the canopy of tree was so beautiful. As I pulled over two fishermen fishing for trout walked up from the stream heading back to their truck parked across the road.

I was looking for large areas for our group to pull over to take pictures like this.

I had a late start yesterday and there was more traffic on the road than when I started the last time at 9am. Still, it isn't like Branson or at Gatlinburg.

After a nice lunch at Calhoun's I headed over to Cherokee, North Carolina and that took me over the mountain that has lots of pull offs to see the beauty.

If it was colder with less smog you would be able to see even more mountain ranges in the picture way out there.

Thanks Gary,

I had made reservations to go to the EOM then later on remembered I had a training scheduled a long time ago in Chattanooga that same weekend. I hate that I missed that ride and will go up by myself soon.

How was the get together? I would have loved to have seen a bunch of FJR's in one place, I only see one or two when I ride.
