It's bad news up there. Won't be the same after this. Lost the chair lift, many buildings. Fortunately, no lives as of yet. I'm just over an hour south and smell the fires every day.

They are all already in my thoughts and prayers. I was in the area in 2004 and it was one of the most beautiful places I had ever seen. Bought out daughter her first leathers when we drove thru Cherokee during their rally that year.

And for riders going through there come springtime, don't forget that this happened. You all get a lot more rain there than we do out here and those burn scars have a nasty tendency to slide out.

Now three lives have been lost in the Gatlinburg area.  This is really tragic, such a beautiful area, and really my normal riding areas.  Lots of the TN fires have been arson.  In my area you have been able to smell the smoke for three weeks now.

Very sad.  We were there in May and ate at the Alamo Steakhouse.  This photo is from USA Today.
