Head to Murfreesboro to meet up with my oldest son.

Going to head to the Dragon. Ride it a couple times. Run 28 and the BRP stop in WTT.

Towed it up because of the front master cylinder issue. I just didn't have the time to ride it. Just got it back Wednesday. I'm not much of a big mileage guy and what amounts to 900+ miles in a day and a half when temperatures are around 95 - 100 degrees wasn't  appealing. 

I'm here now. Heading to Deals Gap tomorrow. Probably over to Waynesville or Highlands Saturday WTT = Wheels Through Time. After that. Who knows. 

As for the truck. I had a 7.3 F250 Powerstroke for 15 years and 200,000+ miles.  Had a tear in my eye when I traded it in for the F150. But this truck is a sweet ride.

Yesterday travels. 

Got a late start, but it all worked out.

Basically ran 70s to 30 and then 39 over to Tellico Plains and the Cherolla Skyway over to Robbinsville.  Up 129 to Deals Gap. 

Going to run the Dragon a couple more times and head to Waynesville. It's supposed to rain this afternoon.

Working our way east. We did Highway 28 and 19 to Cherokee.  Got on the BRP at it's beginning and rode it to  276. In to Waynesville we went. Sweet Jesus a car show on mainstreet.  A great day. We got to the motel. In 2 minutes  it started pouring rain..

A great day.

Did Wheels through time. Had to drag Kevin out by the ear. Always a good stop. 

Ran to Hot Springs down through Asheville and back to Waynesville

Late start and an easy ride yesterday. Time to do the touristy thing. Rode down to the Jack Daniels distillery. Did the "Angel's share" tour. Really enjoyed it.

Just did 30 last month for the 1st time.  Why have I not always taken that road? (I didn't think it was paved all the way for some reason).  It was fantastic.
