Everything was going just like every other morning on this trip UNTIL we pulled into a gas stop. Now everywhere we stopped people were asking about our trip and just chewing the fat with us(what a concept communicating with someone) just to kill the time and maybe learn something new about people or nothing at all )and this was like every other stop .This Tall ,long white haired good old boy started asking about our trip and we asked for the fastest way to the Blue Ridge Parkway and he told us, but after awhile talking about the NY Yankees,(seems that he had traveled a lot and latched onto the yankees when he was up north )he said we seemed the type to enjoy a nice slow winding road to our destination. We saddled up and took off on his rt. Mind you not more than a ½ mile into the road we all was wondering if he called some friends to go pick up a bunch of bikes ,sorry it is just the new york in us. But he sent us on a great road just like he said very rural and very scenic farms, cow, horses, etc..We did make it to the Parkway and we left tennesse behind when we were welcomed by the North Carolina state sign and the roads again were amazing,then about 15 minutes into the road we came but to the welcome to Tennesse sign,Hmm,we asked our road capt. If we were going the right way and he just said welcome to the mountains boyz, ENJOY.(by the way never ask the road capt. if your going the right way) and we did. All the way into Maggies Valley where we settled in for the night and hooked up with 2 more friends that live in NC but were from Long Island.Our hotel set us up at a steak house for dinner and we dined in a great semi- private room that was screened in and had a running creek behind us,very nice, WE were just being our loud selves when a couple come in to eat and we said we would tone things down(remember this area is a very Baptist area)and we did for about 10 minutes and then we started getting a little crazy and the couple got up to leave ,we apologized but the man said that we don't take kindle to YOUR kind. I'm gonna call this blog done, do to on going legal actions that occurred from the rest of the nite. DAY 3 DONE...:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft
