2talltim Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 The wife and i have decided to do a bike/car trip..Wednesday morning we r going to trailer the bikes to Boone, NC just off the Blue Ridge Pky and spend 2 nights there at the Sleep Inn for $60 a night, we r going to hit all the roads in that area during those days on the bikes. Then we are going to leave the car and trailer behind(hotel in boone already said we can park there) and ride down the Blue Ridge towards the Cherokee/Maggie Vally area and stay somewhere in that area for one night, then head back towards the car trying to take a diffeent return route by the next evening. We will load up the bikes and head toward home staying a night on the way back maybe around the Charlston casino( not set in stone).Anyone is welcome to join us on all or part of our trip.(sorry no room on my trailer) And any info anyone can give us on the Boone area would be great, planing on riding up the snake and in the johnson city/ bristol area at least one day. Should be around a $650-$750 trip for 2 people (gas, food, hotel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 change of plans...due to the mountians having a 50-60% chance or rain all week, we decided to change our plans...no finalized yet but we are thinking of heading to nashvile, see the sights, do the scene, and maybe catch the opry(josh turner and diamond rio will be there friday) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
