Great shots Gail. I remember West Quody Light. Brought back memories of one of last season's trips. Cool fish.

look out!!!
Too much work, not enough riding
Wow.... the pics ya'll have posted are splendiferous, fantabulous, phenominous.... envious.
Work was really on my mind this summer, so I didn't get to take any long trips, and *definitely* missed going to Spokane.
But, some riding did ensue, I just wish these pics measured up.
My wife and I are building a place up in North Carolina, so many of my rides involved going up and meeting with builders, etc. This is the view from our lot:
It's just off NC209 near Waynesville. For those of you familiar with the area, 209 is like having your own Dragon.
This is a favorite BBQ stop along the way... in Clayton, GA.
No comments from the peanut gallery, please!
I did manage to work in some riding with the working... taking a trip to visit the Mayo Clinic to meet with them on an assignment we were working on.
Along the way I stopped in for dinner with Diaper Dude:
And stayed at the Ambassadorial Hotel:
While you lucky dogs were in Spokane, I had to settle for AMA Vintage Days. When you're planning your trip to Beemerville next year, be sure to put the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum on your itinerary.
This summer was the political season, so some time was spent discussing things on-line instead of riding.
I did ride the K12 to a political rally late in the summer...
Sorta like this guy, I was the only bike in the parking lot. Sure did make it easy to dispatch with the traffic jam as everyone was leaving.
This was all part of a trip to Biketoberfest. Me and the guys I work with have a Bike Week tradition:
We're biker dudes... we eat pork with our hands!
I did manage to get in at least one camping ride this year, the Georgia Club's annual Labor Day Adventure.
This is at the Blue Ridge Motorcycle Campground in Cruso, the week before this river washed out their bridge.
This is at the Willville campground, in The Meadows of Dan, Virginia.
And... last, but not least... I rode the R69S to the Vintage BMW Owners regional rally in Georgia....
and won Best in Show.
All-in-all it was a pretty good summer. Having to work a lot sucked, but I made the best of it.

Nice pics!!! My mom lived in Clayton, Ga for years--she owned and ran the Beechwood Inn b&B up on the hill if you were to leave town going out 76 to the east. You know Deliverence was filmed in that area (mostly in Tallulah Gorge)--the closing of the movie was filmed in Clayton.

Geez.... we are *still* trying to live that movie down in these parts (and I *ain't* from around here... I'm from NYC). Sqeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal like a piggie!
The roads up in the hills surrounding the Chatooga River, which empties into the gorge and the Tugaloo river, feature some *excellent* dual sport riding.
And... more than a few cars parked on cinder blocks....

What a beautiful area.
