Smoky / Blue Ridge Mountain Waterfall Ride......

Took off alittle after 7:00 a.m. and got home at 11:15 p.m. what a ride . Hooked up with Greg , Razor and bsnicely for breakfest in Pigeon Forge , Tennessee yesterday morning. Razor peeled off just passed Gatlinburg and Greg made it to Frankin, North Carolina before turning and headin' home. That left Brian and I to just dig on the awesome roads and beautiful scenic views of the Tennessee and North Carolina mountains.Took this shot as I pulled out of the garage yesterday morning ...I took it as this is gonna be a great day for motorcycling

Some of you may remember me posting a big a$$ rattler last year on Wayah Road in NC . It was alittle bigger than this one and was still moving when we rode upon it.Well this one still had some moves also but was in bad shape as you can see . Greg pulled the buttons off same as he did on the one last year. This area ( Wayah Road ) must have a nest of these monsters cause this one was maybe a 1/4 mile from the one last year.

Few pictues of the bikes on the way to Dry Falls.These was taken just after Greg turned and headed home.

Well it took them long enough but Dry Falls is now open again with a new parking lot and observation deck. I counted 24 parking spots with 4 of those for the handicapped. Picture's are the new parking lot and observation deck.

Dry Falls from the new observation deck.

Better shot from the trail to Dry Falls.

Looking out from inside Dry Falls.

bsnicely ( Brian ) and Smokin'joe inside Dry Falls.My friend Brian is a trooper with the WV Highway Patrol.

Bridal Veil Falls on the way up I thought more water would be coming over with the decent rainfall we've had this year.It's still pretty cool to ride your bike under a waterfall

Few pictures from Looking Glass Falls I love the road this waterfall is on .

When we hit the highest point it was like it turned winter and a few minutes after I took these shots the clouds swallowed us. Brian said " Let's go Joe before it starts snowing " We lucked out all day and stayed dry until we came across The Great Smoky Mountains in the dark and it started raining The years are catching up to me cause when we would meet a car the headlights would blind me with the rain on the windshield but after we made it into Gatlinburg I was thinking ...What a RUSH that was

Joe again the pictures are just great........ Thank you....Its cool looking through the water....
