More please

SquirrelyGrl · 05-30-2011, 08:37 PM

Single Track! Woot Woot! I was going incredibly slow, but it was awsome! I saw a turkey & an owl :p

Taking a break at the top of Buckbald, this is the ride Laura & FancyIndigo went on with a bunch :p I wimped out, I was too chicken to go on it :/ but I'm glad I went this time :p

Oh yea, another foot photo

A daisy waiting at the end of 82 just for me

This was the coolest find I found in Murphy, I like jeeps & I like flowers :p

Today's ride mostly involved more dirt & gravel & more dirt :p
This is on top of Davis Creek Rd which is still yet to close

Mt Laurel in bloom on the trail how awesome!

Makeshift Bridge on Davis Creek

Because of the makeshift bridge..............

OOOoooooo!! A Cave! But I don't think it goes very far back in there.

Another Self Portrait. I'm making it up to myself when in high school I failed in art and had no ability to express myself

Look ! A DR in the wild!

I caught one!

Caught in amongst the purple butterflies, I didn't spy any poop in any shape or form.

Towards the end of the ride, or so I thought.

I wound up in Tellico somewhere and then continued on into Hiwassee,

then Ocoee into Cleveland, then homeward!

Thanks for posting.

That's some beautiful countryside riding - I'm jealous! Great pics too!!

pfloydgad · 05-31-2011, 07:12 PM

Ok SG,
Here is the skinny.
A beautiful young lady, a motorcycle, and an off road one to boot.
A camera and a sense of adventure. Oh my, be still my heart.
If you have a man in your life, tell him from me, he is one very lucky sob.
If you don't, I hope you find someone with your energy and drive, keep riding and keep us up to date with your adventures and rides.
And as always, everyone be safe out there.
Greg

Hey SquirrelyGrl! I'm enjoying your thread.

Speedy really likes the sticker above your DR's headlight. Here's the way his race bike looked a few years ago, for a little clue why:

Ooooh, I recognize the place in one of your pix from Post #8. The road leading back to that spot was one of my favorite parts (along with just hanging out for a while by the stream) of a day trip Klaviator, FancyIndigo and I did last fall. Here's a shot of FI there that day:

Keep it coming!

East Coast Rider · 06-01-2011, 03:52 PM

Good stuff!

aldntn · 06-01-2011, 07:11 PM

Citico Creek! .... WOOHOO!

SquirrelyGrl · 06-01-2011, 07:21 PM

Hey Laura!

Yay! That's awesome! I usually have no idea where I'm going most of the time, it's easier for me to remember with photos. I think Fancy is so photogenic with her lovely locks :p

Farmall! I forgot about that sticker! Ya! Woot Woot! That's so awesome your hubby is into Farmall! I love the old IH sticker & logos they had. I agree with him that it's a rare site to see on a motorcycle nowadays.

Citico Creek! Yes! That's where I was this weekend :p I passed a guy on a Honda dual sport which was pretty awesome.

Thank you :p I hope you had a good weekend too!

SquirrelyGrl · 06-27-2011, 12:07 PM

So a couple of weekends ago I went through Chickamauga, I snapped a few shots but nothing spectacular. I write a blog for a website and a woman sent me a pm asking about a cemetery in the area and what better way to spend a Sunday than puttering around looking for old cemeteries from the late 1800's?

A few shots

The house that keeps the wall :p

I love a newly mown lawn

This was the only off-road the DR did that day, which was on the side of the road :p

A friend for a moment :p

I like flowers, even weeds. I like Nat'l Park as well

Wilder Tower, one of the coolest Civil War memorials ever

More later :p

I'm enjoying your pictures! I have ridden all over West of the Mississippi, but only a little on the East side. You have some beautiful countryside!
