I have a pic from when we could actually park behind the falls, sad to see they've done away with that option now.

I do to. During the week when there's not a bunch of people around you can just ride around the barriers.

Short day. Went out after the rain stopped and got back just as it started. About 120 miles

Ran into @Kaptain Khaos at 2 Wheels Suches. Went back to my new favorite Tavern "Tusquitee  Tavern". Left Monday and rode to Lake City Florida. In roughly 8 hours all on back roads. All in all a great trip with my son.

A couple of pictures 30+ years apart. The old ones are from when I was hiking the Appalachian Trail.

It's a shame you were in Tellico Plains but did not cross the Cherohala Skyway.  It is easily one of the best roads in all of the Smokies.

There is nothing like spending a day riding with friends in the grip of a shared obsession.

Wondering why the pics of VFD stations, but then I remembered the username. 😁 When I'm out in fun riding areas I think about the poor medic who is stuck riding backwards (or worse, sideways and trying to treat a patient) on some of those roads.

It's really any fire station. But I like the small obscure ones. I've had a few transports to the hospital where I was carsick when we got there.  🤢

We have been across the Cherohala  a few times. It was just really busy that day, we didn't feel like fighting the crowds. Plus it was a small window between the rains. So.... Next time during the week, on a pretty day.... 😀
