I would love to see NC if time permits.
Hmmmm, maybe I look into renting a HOG
(that's right as in Harley Davidson ;D)
if you have time, hit up the north georgia part of the smokies. Georgia, SC, TN, and NC all come together right there, its good riding.
When you headed out here?

Uh, if you're gonna pass near Waynesville, NC, shoot me a PM & we'll see if we can grab supper or something. I'm working the weekend of the 11th, and am leaving with my fiancée the 16th for Canada, but if in the meantime, I'm always glad to meet another forum member [thumbsup]

Awesome. I've got a cabin in Cashiers/Highlands area (in the corner of NC where GA and SC hit it). I'll go stay out there friday nite and meet up with you.

Indeed! I've never been. I can put people up in my cabin if anybody wants a place to crash. Its got a bedroom (for me of course ;) ), a couch, and bunk beds as well as floor space.

I was just starting to look for a hotel room in the area, but if you don't mind me crashing there that'd be awesome!

Yup, never been. Just started riding a year ago so I haven't had a chance to hit it yet. And of course you can crash at the cabin.
And yes someguy, thats actually surprisingly accurate for the area. ;D
I'd like to hit the gap (the first time) at a time when its not too crowded if that's ok. I'm still a newb so I'd like a chance to run it without getting buzzed or spooked.

Yea, I lived in the woods near the Pisgah Nat'l Forest & had a cougar that was a regular & a bear that lumbered through the yard about twice a week. Nothing wrong with creepy, Halloween isn't that far away ~

The weather should be nice.
Highs in the mid-to-high 70s.
After the sun goes down it'll get chilly though. Lows in the high 40s.

Don't forget the fog... It's been pretty nasty the past couple mornings. It'll be a bit cooler by mid-October, might even see frost in the AM ~

Trouble said he's renting the HD on Saturday so maybe that day? I was gonna head out to my place on Friday since its a hard 3 hours from Charlotte. I figured I'd do some riding all day saturday, stay overnight at my place again, then do a little riding Sunday morning and head back.
Deals is a smidge over 2 hours from my place on some really sweet roads.
So should I plan on heading up there Friday afternoon and coming back Sunday afternoon?

I would say yes. If youre comin from the RTP area, it'll be a haul for you. You will want to map it out to get to Cashiers, NC.
I'll PM you an exact addy later and will prolly meet you in town and lead you to the place, especially if its dark.

That's make the beast with two backsin' mean.
Funny. But mean none-the-less.
The place has a history with fire.
The whole family was up there once, me, mom, dad, two uncles, and a set of grandparents. My dad and the two uncles decided to light fireworks and one of the boys decided to throw a firecracker into the fire pit. It was a rocket of some sort cause it ignited and took off towards my peanut of a grandmother. She fell backwards outta the camp chair, it took a turn and ran slap into the cabin.
Most awesome video EVAR.
Then someone filled up a kerosene (or whatever is usually used to help light a fire) can with gasoline. My dad start splashing it on the pit, lit a match, dropped it and promptly realized it wasn't kerosene in that can. That fire looked like a movie special effect with the way it rolled out over the ground. And theres my dad, in nylon hiking pants, dancing like hell trying not to get set on fire. Singed his shoelaces, eyebrows, and armhair.
