A month or so ~ ish after RDV, graciously and most awesomely an event in my life......
I went on a ride with a good friend on a KLR. Good? Friend? KLR?

Oh yes, the best of friends I find do ride KLR's and I most enjoy riding with them
On the way to North River Rd. we stopped at the Tellico Beach Drive-In for a snack
Close to the top of the Cherohala(?) skyway, on North River Rd. The might Hawk at it's finest, given the state it's owned by a negligent young female in the motorbike arts.
One of two balds? I believe we made it to....
He and I made it to Asheville that day, he was purchasing a much needed camping seat/thingy I dunno. But, I found a friend lying in a cool spot in Mast Outfitters in downtown Asheville
Then we wound our way towards Bryson City, or vice versa, I'm not sure which. My first trip to Bryson City, if I need to stop, I make it a point to go to this place.
On our way towards Erwin, TN we stopped at a few cool mountain spots, which I have no idea which ones they were.

Sorry
