Life is short so LET'S RIDE

We had a wonderful weekend filled with lots of riding, laughing and wonderful food, of course. We thoroughly enjoyed having friends ride with us this year to the mountains. There was never a dull moment and I think it's safe to say that we all enjoyed it so much that they are already planning on next years ride LOL

Before we headed out on Friday am

Our first stop was Fall Creek Falls, this is my handsomeness :)

Our crew

Michael, me, Dawn, Dale, Darryl, Kim

 

The guys at the top of Cherohala Skyway

 

The girls :) Kim was too scared to stand on the ledge ha!

All weekend we saw tons of these type signs with squiggles on them :)

Just passing through NC

Robinsville, NC

 

This was our "hotel" for Friday night, the lady owns these houses behind the actual hotel that she let's people have for the night. It was actually pretty cool, it was 3 bedrooms and there was plenty of space for us all plus it was only $150 for the night so we all saved some money :) It's called the Phillips Motel and it's somewhere we would definitely stay again.

We were anxiously awaiting getting back on The Dragon! This time we bought shirts & little dragon stickers for our helmets.

Our crew, we all made it safely down :)

Lots of these signs :)

 

Our friends coming down the dragon

 

When we got to the end it started raining so we pulled under a church awning & Dale decided to pull out his "beer googles" that we had found in the house the night before, what makes it even funnier is Dale doesn't even drink but he thought it would be cool to have them in his "man cave" lol

 

This place was amazing! The Apple Barn in Pigeon Forge, we all got way too much food and Michael left both our pie slices in the hotel so I was a little upset on the ride home thinking about how good I'm sure they were LOL Next time I'm eating my pie no matter how stuffed I am :)

It's was fixed up all kinds of "fall"

 

Where we stayed Sat night, it was a great place to stay and they had a variety of things for breakfast on Sun am.

Think everyone likes blue? LOL

 

Yeh, they are pushing off Darryl, it was quite funny to see them but hey sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do LOL

Just gorgeous scenery but I can't put all 400+ pics on here.

There were 3 tunnels that we went through coming through the Smokey Mountains, of course, they all reved up the motors going through them.

Just a cool pic of our friends coming around the curve we just went around :)

We went up Clingman's Dome and it was freezing cold but just gorgeous up there, it's the highest point in TN and you could see forever.

 

Not sure why this is dark 

Going through the edge of Cherokee, NC to come home.

 

We all decided next year we may just have to stay near there because it appeared to have lots of things going on as we were riding through :)
