( Thursday morning ) I gave some thought about going to Cookeville to hook up with Big Don and crew but with Cheaha next week I don't need to be spending $$$ on motels. Y'all ride safe we did that area back in the winter a couple times if you've never rode " Calf Killer " then you should it ROCKS ( exit 300 ). Black Mountain, Ky. is my plan today with a few State Park stops .Picture of my Suzuki Bandit 1200 at the highest point in Kentucky ( State line Kentucky / Virginia Hwy. 160 ).

I like Black Mtn. The coal mine museum is interesting.
Coal dust in the wet makes for interesting riding.
In fact I believe KY has the most forms of 2 wheel treachery on its roads in the SE. Coal dust, coal trucks, logging trucks, sawdust trucks, wood chip trucks, gravel trucks, rock trucks, coal mine entrances, quarry entrances, road heaves, deer, pick up drivers, farm equipment etc etc
