Aug 20 Friday

Woke @ 3:40 to pack and get going before its too hot. Route 515North out of Jasper Ga was dark,quiet, and real foggy. 70 miles and my next right was R.T.129, the Apalachin Trail Highway;AKA The Dragon,Deals Gap. In Robbinsville filled the tank and headed into the Keehonee State Forest. And the curves and corners started flowing ahead of me. Ran into the Deals Gap motorcycle camp @ Tacopi and went in to get some shirts,stickers, lic plate bracket, and anti road gremlin bell. Came out of there 70 bucks lighter,but? what the heck! 100 ft passed and the Dragon really starts as you enter Tennessee. Wicked corner after decreasing radius to switch backs to Pigtails..Awesome..did I mention perma smile:) Three quarters thru you overlook a huge dropoff and Dam, took some pics.Finished the Dragon and doubled back, who knows when I'll get back.Pure thrills, a 20 yr dream fullfilled,XXXtasy.Rolled thru Tenn. and met up with a old friend,RT81North, and followed her
to Salem Virginia,wait a minute, thats were they hung ..
