We hooked up in Knoxville , Tennesseee yesterday at the Honda dealer for a ride toward The Great Smoky Mountains.The plan was to circle Cades Cove and check out the elk , deer and bears however just as we got to the " Y " we started seeing salt on the road so we turned and headed for The Dragon. We crossed The Foothills Parkway and hit some snow on top but the road was fine with just several wet spots from the weather warming up.
US 129 The Dragon was looking good until we started up the mountain right before the over-look and we started seeing that nasty salt again. We was hanging out at the over-look when Al the owner of
www.moonshinephoto.com stopped in to shoot the chit with us. He claimed the salt only got worse toward North Carolina.
All three of us had cleaned our bikes up so the salt ride was NOT a option....Let's go get some lunch.
I got in just under 200 miles yesterday and we plan on riding tomorrow ( Sunday ) as well .
The Money Shot....Taken at the bridge to nowhere that crosses The Little River at the base of The Great Smoky Mountains.
