Had a blast as just two of the so called Wild Bunch made the ride that we started last Saturday.

Made it this time with daylight to spare.

Also worked in a Devil's Triangle Run US Hwy 116.

Found a new run called the Anaconda, 458 turns in 58 miles of continuous fun.

With breath taking drops off the Cumberland Plateau.

Kiss your butt turns and a BBQ Joint as it's sponsor and T-SHirts are being ordered and of course

stickers.

ANACONDA, has a good ring to it.

Started out with some history.




Here is where the Anaconda starts and ends.



Here is Dale the owner of the Restaurant, he is the one who is promoting the new run, Anaconda

He helped us out with directions to Muddy Pond and told us about the new Hot Spot to be.

I will call this meet up point the Shack, like Deal's Gap fame promotes the Dragon.

The Shack , promotes the Anaconda now.



Valks at the Shack.




Then Greg got to visit the General Store as he has never been inside it on the other runs we made.

I bought the wife a jar of Sorghum/Molasses and of course Apple Butter, not sure why they call it butter.






Not sure what Greg is doing to the Bison, but it probably is illegal in every state but Alabama.






Hwy62 was a blast today with high speed sweepers and hardly any traffic. This is the road back to

home and Hwy116 The Devil's Triangle. Stopped on a bridge to take a breather.





Greg and I parked on 116 the Triangle at the entrance to a working coal mine, the road was alive with 18 wheelers and dump truck triaxles making a living hauling black coal.




The Triangle was a mess, but these boys have to make a living somehow. Smokin Joe has hauled a few loads up this road.




Hope my friends in West Virginia are faring as well as we have today.

Saw some sand on the plateau on our ride as well.

That was a great post of pics on how to do the tire yourself Mike.

Glad you posted about the valve stems, they said last time I had my stem changed on the

interstate it looked terrible.

Change the stems as well as the tire is a good cue for all of us.

Joe did his on a trip one time at a Sears automotive store.

I guess cleaning ain't all you need to do to a wheel.

Looks like I missed a couple of good rides this weekend.  Would have been with Big Al and Smooth rider for sure, but I taught an MSF course for Smoky Mtn. H.D.  Next weekend  has a scheduled MSF update for the instructors in our area and the first weekend of March has me teaching another class.  Then I have a few weekends free for riding myself.  So, Wild Bunch, Look out, I have missed riding with my good friends and am looking forward to catching some wind with all of you again!
