TN meanderings

[locopny]

Attended RDV in Tellico Plains...just on Sat.
Had planned on just running some hard paved roads but getting there later Sat morning and pretty much last day was a bit to coordinate some local riding partner..got a willing guide and promptly? Got following the front of the bike....right to the first stop for a beverage. Sounds a lot like this group..visiting around the table with riding in between.
Met a fellow rider by chance and changed the route of travel today.
Got to ride Witt Rd with 4 good water crossings...with no drops and even on the big Twin. More on this later while I rest the phone to charge

[locopny]

Witt Rd crossings.
Made across all 4 with no soggy feet. No drops.
Wet boots.
Renewed confidence post-wreck to get back out and do stuff on this machine off highway.

Looks like a great time..

[locopny]

Got a couple pictures from riding partners...
Makes a guy just want to stay and say screw work..

Poor fella in the last photo was looking at that first crossing as if it was an ocean when the 3 of us just rode past him. Assumed he turned around rather than following any of our lines safely across.

It was 85 or so this day..had to stop and cool off where ya can.  There was a scheduled burn off Starr Mtn Road...so not really good to stop there. We forgot the marshmallows.

[locopny]

Burn run...

And what happens when ya come into a corner a bit too hot...

[locopny]

Why too hot?
Found riding partners spare helmet fell off and was trying to catch up when we discovered he lost his whole right side pannier....and had a yard sale.
Was all good, didn't drop it, but got slowed down enough to just drop into the ditch...which was muddy- giving me a test of the Trailmax mission in getting extricated from muddy conditions.

Monday is my last TN meanderings day.
Was going to be a couple more but work has me headed to UT Tues morning.
So I might adjust this to U.S. Meanderings

Directly from TN.
So I'll have the twin with me...and 5th wheel. And Dana.

Might be looking for an overnight campground in a couple weeks in the Hills for the journey home.
More later

[locopny]

Left TN and had a rough day with the camper but all good for now

[locopny]

14hrs...Branson MO...delaminated camperside...repair roadside to get to repair place... Dollar General $5 fix-(75+mph duct tape).

Late check-in...Jack Daniels.
7hr schedule for weds.

[locopny]

Dragon send-off.

[locopny]

Well Utah was a literal bust aside from getting lots of work done. Only rode the bike twice...both for less than 3 miles each.  Once to a chiropractor and once to AutoZone for steering pump parts on the truck.
Hopefully, this last leg of the trip will be more vacation-like.

[locopny]

Tonight...Fort Welikit for a couple nights.
Unhook the truck and 'vacation' a bit with the beauty that has put up with me for 4 years this Sunday.

Not talking about the bike..
I'm talking about Dana.

[locopny]

Fort Welikit.

We Like It!

[loingrader]

Its a nice campground and a fun spot for kids.  Glad you are enjoying it!
