Title: Hat Rescue to Maggie Valley
Post by: grandpadoc on September 13, 2014, 11:57:32 PM
I found this hat at our local flee market in SoCal. It came all the way from China and needed to find its way home to North Carolina. So we got up early Thursday morning with a plan.

You're a good soul to rescue that hat and return it to its native environment

  Yesterdays ride was a hot one but the food and friends were great.

Met up with Jerry (Ultrafxr) and J.Carolyn for some great BBQ tonight. They took us to the #1 Rib Joint in Memphis. Tomorrow it will get a lesson in its country heritage in Nashville at the Opry. So much to do and so little time.
