area on October 8-12. We have a cabin rented and plan to spend some time shopping and riding the mountains of North Carolina. We plan to do the Wahoo Zipline on Friday and we will be riding the Cherohala Skyway on Saturday. Anyone in the area at the time, just let me know and we can link up.

OK, I have to fess up that I did it in my 2005 Chrysler 300c "Cage". Nicknamed the USS Saratoga. It corners a bit better than that ship though! My son and I were in N. Carolina most of the week starting with last Saturday, to set up hotels and venues for a car convention we put on each year. We were looking at the Chapel Hill/Raleigh-Durham areas, and also Charlotte. (The NASCAR Hall of Fame is WONDERFUL and a must see if you get to that area!). On the way back to Illinois we decided (well I decided, and my son, a non rider) went along with it! I drove the first time through all of rt 129, and he drove back to the dragons den hotel/restaurant etc. We ate lunch there watching bikes come and go, and then drove the skyway on the way back to IL. We had a blast, and only one Harley caught up to me, and another bike caught up to my son. We let both by as soon as possible, but were proud that our cage was able to keep up with all other traffic, in fact other than those two bikes we never saw anyone else going our direction, only bikes (and not a lot) going the other way. There were two accidents, one had an ambulance and one did not, both were on the skyway. I am glad I got to do it in my car, I will be much better prepared when I take my bike out that way, hopefully later this month or next.

Diane and I are planning on riding all of the Skyway & Blue Ridge Parkway this summer. I know a lot of you have done this. We are planing on staying the first night in Front Royal in Virgina. Has any one stayed in that area before? I see there is a Super 8 any others? The next stop would be Peaks of Otter It's about 192 miles, I'm not sure if we can cover 192 miles of Skyway & Blue Ridge Parkway in one day. Has any one done this before? How many miles can one cover in one day on the Ridge? Has anyone stayed at the Peaks of Otter Lodge or the Doughton Lodge or the Mt. Pisgah Lodge? Any information will be greatly appreciated! Thank you

went to the smokies last weekend and got to finally see what all the fuss is about. We went out and rode the dragon & skyway loop and I must say that it will be an annual trip for us from now on, I honestly felt a little let down at deals gap after wanting to see it for several years it just wasnt the way I thought it would be. Still a very fun ride but it just didnt compare to the Cherohalla skyway, man that was really awesome!! Best views in the mountains very smooth road and long sweeping turns. My wife finally decided to go with me on the ride and she really enjoyed it, I never got pinched, called names, yelled at or threatened with bodily harm the whole day! Was a little cool on the way home on monday but not too bad. Now she wants to go down to the coast this weekend and pick up some fresh seafood, Oh well if I must I must!
