Steamer's Hillbilly Ride pics and videos.....

[Stanley Steamer]

I left out Friday morning before 7am to meet Mike in SC......then we meandered our way up onto the BRP......we stopped just past Little Switzerland at a restaurant overlooking the mountains.....food was delicious.....






We stopped at the Linn Cove Viaduct information center and then hiked up the hill to get a few pics of it from underneath it.....

We moseyed on up the BRP to Hwy 16 North......stopped at this overlook just before we turned towards Marion....










Took only a few at Coalwood......










On the way home, Mike wanted to stop for some fresh peaches....






I took a few videos of the group riding up Hwy 16 North on the way to lunch......

We made it almost back to Hubcap's house with just a light misting rain.....I bet he wasn't even that damp....I had 60 more miles to go and it started raining on me about 10 miles from home....but not real hard until a mile from home....my frogg togg pants and the liner in my Joe Rocket mesh jacket kept me dry.....had to ride the bike through the back yard to park it in it's little shed and was nervous since we'd had over an 1" of rain before I got home.....got it parked with no problem though.....it's rained another 2" since last night and we need it......

It was nice meeting you too......I only wish I could have more time to talk to everyone.....

     Thanks again for the comraderie and fellowship that I really enjoyed, especially ALL THEM PRETTY VALKS.        BE SAFE AND ENJOY THE RIDE  !!!
