East?? West??
Hey, jsanderson!! Welcome back. You've been gone WAY too long. I did the very same thing. Never knew how much I missed it. Been trying to catch up for the last 6 months and wondering WHY did I do THAT.
Not to be picky, but isn't Bethel in Eastern NC, east of Tarboro?? You probably were just wishing you were in Western NC, the world's largest collection of superb motorcycling roads and scenery.
We found a free map of Western NC, "Motorcycle Touring Map" while riding around up there over the summer. It's available in lots of shops and restaurants in the area, and on line at wildrides.info. All the named roads, Dragon's Tail, Copperhead Rd, etc. He has a bunch of maps for different areas of the country.

I'm definitely in Western NC. My house is about one mile from the intersection of Hwy 276 and Hwy 110 in the little community of Bethel in Haywood County. I'm right in the heart of those superb motorcycling roads. Definitely love that about where I live!
