Well, I guess the third time, was the charm! They opened up the North Carolina side, which meant, I had to travel approx 250 miles, round trip, to ride the "Dragon", again. The wait was worth it! As I crossed the Blue Ridge Parkway, I passed thru a thick cloud. Couldn't see past my windshield! Didn't dare stop, as I was afraid whoever was behind me, wouldn't stop. Below, is a map of the loop, I rode. Didn't hit ant rain, but it was cold!!!!!!
Below, some of the great scenery, along the way!
More great scenery, from the Blue Ridge Parkway!
Fontana Dam
D, at Deals Gap. This is one of the most famous motorcycle rides, in the U.S.! 311 turns, in an eleven mile stretch. Was able to ride the majority of the Tail, but part of the Tennessee side was still closed. If the Tail had been open, all the way through, the ride would have been only a hundred miles, or so! The total trip took about 11 hours. Was definitely worth the wait!
Traveled the Cherohala Skyway, on the return trip. Was a very beautiful ride, but I passed through another cloud, which was as bad, if not worse, than the first! Another great day of riding!
