First Trip to the Dragon

I don’t know how a trip to the Dragon took so many years to get around to, but now that I’ve done it I know it won’t be long before I return.

The main part of this trip was to start on Monday, with Jim and I slabbing down to Knoxville before joining Dave and Peter for 3 days of riding in NC/TN/GA mountains, followed by a somewhat leisurely return via the Blue Ridge Parkway.  I was going to add a few solo days of riding and camping before meeting Jim on Monday. For the solo part of the trip I had no reservations anyplace, and only a vague idea of places I wanted to go – a big change from how I usually travel.
