Smoky Mountains: Day 1

Departure day is always so exciting and this one did not disappoint. Standing under a covered bank drive thru waiting for all to arrive in a downpour... It soon dried up and our trek down the long state of IL was underway.

Smoky Mountains: Day 2

Leaving Effingham IL is probably the best part of being there. Really... On the road anticipating a great overnight in Nashville.

Smoky Mountains: Day 3

Day 3 was a bit bittersweet as the group needed to split up to account for Judy's Dialysis in Nashville. Meanwhile Nuke led the rest to tour Jack Daniels Distillery and Lookout Mountain. The group reconnected in Townsend TN at the cabins that evening.

Smoky Mountains: Day 4

On Day 4 the group met for breakfast in Townsend then rode to the Dealership in Marysville TN. They split up again as some bikes had mechanical breakdowns and needed repairs. Colonel led a group to Deal's Gap and the Tail of the Dragon while Nuke's group enjoyed time at Big Daddy's Biker Bar nearby...

Smoky Mountains: Day 7-9

On Day 7 the group rested (no kidding...) to give everybody a break. However, Nuke and Quill were up for a challenge so they rode out to the Cumberland Gap along the Virginia-TN border. Breakfast and sightseeing with Cheryl then back to base

camp for a cookout. Days 8 and 9 went quickly as we worked our way home.
