I'm glad that it appears the new owner is going to be motorcycle friendly. |

I forgot to mention that Hwy 28 north from Hwy 74 was full of surprises. A tree across the left half of the road with a lot of debris in my half. A large wooden roll of steel cable had come off a pick up truck and some of the cable was coiled higgledy piggly in the road. A verge mower had been along Hwy 28 next to the lake near Deals Gap. Spread grass and chewed up ivy into the road.    |

Paul, Good report and great pics! Nasty looking weather for part of that ride, huh... Does that explain your navigation choices, or have you adopted some of my technique...? This was north of Clayton so I backtracked south and headed west to go north to go east.Thanks, too, for the update on the new Phillips Motel owner... A very encouraging report on our prospective host! Thanks mostly, however, for not posting a selfie of you in a speedo taking a dip in the Nantahala... very much appreciated!!! DDT P.S. I also liked those poses of your bike amongst the poseys! Great photography! |

Flexible routing leads to the unexpected. |

The best way to keep your neighbors from complaining about a party is to invite them to the party.  |
