Some (lots of) pics of my trip to the Dragon.......

Here are some pics of the trip I took on the weekend of Sept 15th. It was for the VFRD Fall Dragon Group Ride. I linked up with jstanwoods from Indy, and tinyminds from Richmond, KY. (these are their screen names, btw). We took the slab most of the way, but still it was a good trip.

This is at the overlook entering the Dragon from the TN side. There is a also a good view of the dam where some scenes from the movie "The Fugitive" were shot.



3rd, 4th, and 6th gen at the overlook:



Entering the Dragon:



These are on the Dragon, tinyminds is leading on the 6th gen with me behind. jstanwoods has a 4th gen and is following me:







These next two are on Blood Mountain, which I think is part of 129 in GA, but don't quote me on that. This was on our way to Turner's Corner, which is a nice little restaurant. This was on the Saturday loop and I was following sondance.






We missed our turn onto Warwoman Rd. which head to Clayton GA. We stopped here to get a GPS fix which was pretty much a futile effort because of the location.








Sondance is asking our fellow rider if he knows how to work the GPS (just kidding).



Stopped in Clayton for fuel:





Everyone stopped at Turner's Corner for lunch. This is a pic of our group of bikes, but there are more parked in front of the restaurant.



VFR's at the Robbinsville, NC Microtel:









I am expecting a few more pics but have not received them yet.

 

Great pics vman, wish I could have been there. I'm booked at the microtel for next Friday. I'll try and get some pics as well.

Finally some pictures of the dragon, it's everything I thought it would be. That fourth picture looks like it would be a lot of fun. Someday...:nod:

 

Excellent pics vman, brings back good memories. I can't wait till spring to do it again!

 

Some nice rides there, and the pics turned out good too.

 

Some great pics there and what looks like an enjoyable bit of road. And the 6th gen in black looks sweet. I am a fan of the black, particularly with black wheels (the black comes with grey wheels here - I am colour blind, so not 100% on the colour, but it isn't black, I know that much).

 

Awesome pics Vman!! I wish I lived closer to that area.

 

Great pics vman:first: Just as i've said in other threads someday I'll get there:frown:

 

Thanks for pics

You woke a lot of memories for me as I was there last summer on my BMW.

You got a good representation of the area, I stayed in Andrews Valley NC.

Did you get some pics of the Cherola Skyway too? It was fun on the K bike and a lot more on fun on the lighter VFR next time!

 

Unfortunately I did not get pics of the Cherohala Skyway. The only stops we made there were to let those that fell behind a bit to catch up to the lead, and those stops were not long enough to allow for pics. I want to go back and get some though.

 

Great pics Vman!!! I wish I could do something like that but between work and the family it's hard to make a plan. :frown:

 

Good job there Vman love those pictures, :thumb: Ha think ther's not enough VFRs thou.

 

enjoyed the pics looks like a great time how many days were you there?

 

awesome pics. Looks like all had a good time.
Where are the Maryland Viffers? Let's plan a ride!!!
