Mount Mitchell !!!  Maybe I will be able to ride up there soon, in the daytime, when it is not raining, and I can actually see more than 5 feet ahead of me! Admit it Barker, you were suckin on PBR for breakfast when you decided to jump into that river...  | ||

Saturday Part 2. Sorry guys it takes a while for me to edit and size the pix. I do it when I have little bits of free time. Stay tuned, I've got more! Big water fall!  Good canyon roads.  This waterfall had a walking trail behind it.  This waterfall had a road behind it!     FLARES!  The Copperhead Lodge  Stay tuned for Uly surgery the last ride to T.W.O.  | ||

Awesome pics. That's a cool stretch of road, isn't it? That's "Bridal Veil Falls". That road was closed for a while when a big chunk of rock fell from above a few years ago.  Here's a photo of me and my Ascot there taken in 2003:  The other Ascot belonged to a Buell rider I know from Atlanta. | ||

Wow that looks cool! I will have to search out Bridal Veil Falls. | ||

Thanks! I can put those coordinates into my GPS (Sybil) and follow it down the nuttiest routes you can imagine.  | ||
| Guell |
Then I had the displeasure of trying to pass him without running him off the road. fatty, at least he wasnt on a slammed and stretched zx-14. LOL (Message edited by Guell on March 23, 2011) | ||

You follow Sybil??? Does not she have 19 documented personalities - or something like that? You're often lost, aren't you..  As for Matt and Jeremy. You started the motorcycling year off right! Awesome photos and a testament on how to do a "first spring thing" right! Thanks for sharing. | ||

Yum,the "cherry cola" is sure alot of fun. An amazing amount of money spent on that stretch of gorgeous pavement in the middle of nowhere! | ||

Hope ya'll stayed away from beat up red pickup trucks. | ||
| Mountainstorm |
I've been on (almost) all the roads you've blogged. This is making me want to hit the road in the worst way. Mt. Mitchell has some great food at the lodge. Never road under Bridal Veil falls though...that looks awesome. Thanks! | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
You know Chad, I have an unnatural phobia of red pick-up trucks. I don't know what it is. I have had more run-ins with them that ANY other vehicle on the road. | ||

Pretty depressing photos; thanks for sharing them. On the bright side, GT made a very interesting post on Facebook yesterday:
I'm hoping they've found another location in the general area to re-open shop. Fingers crossed. | ||
| Ulywife |
Those pictures make me cry. The best thing about TWO is that the people we've met there are still in our lives. Thanks for sharing the pictures and your fun weekend. Hugh - I saw that post...waiting patiently to see what's behind the new door! | ||
| Rotzaruck |
That was great stuff until that last part. Sad. But you gotta tell the tale, even if you don't like it. I hope they get something going. There is just something special about a place that when you check out, you tell them how much you owe them! I really hate not getting to go back again. | ||

Barker- thanks for the pics. Especially TWO, I really wanted to make a last ride down there just to shake GT and Britt's hands and see it with my own eyes. Something tells me that this won't be the last of GT and Britt, not by a long shot... | ||

Wow great story, and tough story... and I didn't get an invite but my travel luggage did... T |
