Great group photo. Glad to see TC and Diva made it up for Saturday. Everyone keep having a great time and safe rides home tomorrow
.
Don...had a nice ride over, and didn't run into rain 'till just south of Dahlonega...had already put the rain pants on when we left the house, so no big deal to throw the jacket on and continue on to the Smith House to have lunch. Had already talked to a couple of those at the lodge and knew they were just chillin' out. We pigged out on fried chicken, greens, creamed corn, fried okra, green beans, spanked potatoes and gravy, and topped it all off with plenty of sweet tea and strawberry shortcake with real whipped cream. We were STUFFED!!! Rode some new backroads and got to CHL about 2:30 or so. Got a lodge room, got out of our rain gear, took a hot shower, and sat out on the porch with Ken, Chuck, Bob, Henry, Vag, and various others who came and went, telling some good stories and having a never empty beer mug, thanks to the owner, who took good care of us all. The four or so hour ride up was well worth it, even though we didn't get to spend as much time with everyone as we would have liked.
It was great to see everyone, as always. Sorry you couldn't make it, but am glad to hear you're feeling somewhat better.
