Left Winston- Salem Monday, 7/11, and travelted to Gatlinburg, TN. Stayed off of Interstates for most of the ride. Mountains of NC are beautiful. We had a great picnic lunch at Roane Mountain state park (lunch was courteous of the breakfast that morning at the hotel...yogurt and apple). Traveled about 18 miles of twisty mountain roads. Found out later we might have been on the "snake". Ate dinner at the Peddler Steakhouse...sat overlooking the river. It was our first time to try and split/share a meal in an attempt to not eat so much. Worked out great. Restaurants serve too much food anyway. Stayed 2 nights at Gatlinburg. Had planned on riding to Deals Gap and riding the dragon again but weather did not permit it. Spent the day hanging out and walking around Gatlinburg. Sat on the rooftop deck of the hotel and did some serious people watching the second night.
Headed next to Memphis to see Graceland and then on to Hot Springs, Ark.
FYI...I have a new fear on the motorcycle. People texting while driving. OMG....it is amazing how many do it!!! I was only really concerned about deer and flying pieces of black rubber tires from 18 wheelers until I saw how eratic "texters" can drive. Saw a young lady going over 80 mph AND texting.!!!
