Annual BRP/Dragon Trip

[LoneRanger]

Took my annual Blue Ridge Parkway and Tail of the Dragon trip this past weekend.

I started by going across W.Va on 77 with plans to drop into Boone, NC via 19 to 421. However as the following picture will show my plan was...altered.

Moral of the story if something does not feel right, it's prolly NOT! I stopped to check the weird feeling. The tires had approx. 50% life when I left so not sure what happened. I got a replacement and hauled it to Boone. Needless to say I had to slab it.

The next day found me on the BRP headed South.

This picture was taken near the viaduct which you can see on the left of it if you look close. Made it to Townsend, TN that night via the Smokies. I love that ride.

Monday was all about the Dragon and Six Gap.

Obligatory glamor shot.

I highly recommend the Six Gap loop. http://www.sixgap.com/

This is an interesting landmark. Please read the sign first.

And the rocks next. Yes I added to the pile.

All in all a good trip even with the tire event. Looking forward to next year's trip already.
