Hot Springs Ride from the East Tennessee Hills

[BigAl]

This is a pic in the Hot Springs, NC,,,,,, Parking Lot.

1997 Tourer to the Rune Behind it, marks the Beggining and the End of the Venerable Valk, good thing they made a lot of them.



285  miles were enjoyed today, I could not possibly count all the curves, from Clinton Tn to Hot Springs to Maggie Valley, NC, to

Cherokee, NC to , Fontana Village and The Hellabender, then to the Dragon, and back home, what a ride.

Guess who showed up and sat on a nice Rune.






Leisurely Pace and a good shade tree.



Mad Dog's wife got in on the lazy day act as well.



Our artisan Smooth RIder has a steady hand and carved this little dude out of solid wood and hand painted it of course to cover his key up on his

 Interstate, pretty cool and I just noticed it has a Gold Tooth in front.



Lucky 13,,,, being Lucky 13,,could not get into the lazy day thing.



New Facility at Hot Springs includes a Day Spa.



This tree stumped me, WImp informed us it is a Catalpa Tree.  Funky with it's green bean type growths it exudes.Location Hot Springs NC




Clinton Dragon Riders.

Hate I missed the ride Al it's always a pleasure ridin' with y'all . Had a touch too much " stuff " to get done before we head out in the morning for a week on Myrtle Beach with Presley. Dude's got a nice Rune no doubt .I rode a co-worker's several years ago just don't see $$$$ they ask for them pretty much feel the same about Harley's.

We missed you too Joe. Have a good vacation over there on the Outer Banks.

Has the Paddlers Pub beeen rebuilt yet?

[BigAl]

I don't know, we ate at the Rock House Inn.

French Broad Festival was in full swing.

I am gonna have to try those Hot SPrings Hot Tubs one day.

Now you can get a massage at the Spa.

What a place. Next to Hwy209 and some beautiful mountains, I may retire there.

Nah.

Wait, is this a typo? Did you mean French bread or is there actually a festival dedicated to French women?

What is needed is a festival dedicated to Polish women and their awesome bazooms.

The Festival was at the end of April.

I love riding to Hot Springs! Last time we were there we were attacked
by a herd of semi-ferocious gnats!!

[BigAl]

The French Broad Festival signs were still up and a lot of Trailers , with Harley's Sitting beside them were there.

I asked the waitress and she agreed as to what the big crowd was about.

I guess someone fed me bad info.

Or did not know and thought they did.

The place is ground zero for Hikers, Bikers, Hot Spring Tubbers  and the like.

WHo knows what is really taking place, just the info that I got.

Did not mean to mislead anyone.

Sorry.

I have not time traveled in over 6 months.

Thanks

Congratulations, Al.  That is a significant accomplishment.
