    It's easy... You hit the Blue Ridge pkwy from Cherokee.. The turnoff is not far, then 8 miles up to the campground... You have to drive thru the herds of Elk so it's an entertaining drive..

                                I really had a blast this time guys. Thanks to everyone for putting up with us motorcyclist intruding on the purist event. :)

                                For those who couldn't make it here are some memorable events

                                -Completely losing everyone on the way to breakfast (2hour mistake).

                                -Getting a mini graveyard lecture from the county mounties concerned with "young drivers" running citizens off the road. (photo-op above)

                                -Multiple euro E30 breakdown (fuel pump?)

                                -James (Harley Rider aka Skyway Scraper) having to lay down a 2010 Harley, Damn shame, but he is fine and insurance is covering everything including new riding gear. (Unsure if its totaled, but we did find frame damage when we got home. See pic below.) James being the trooper he is rode the wrecked Harley back to the camp site (60 miles of twisties).

                                -Riding with Mattdk in the dragon. (Vader ripping butthole pucker)

                                -Camp fire talk with some of the most down to earth and wise older gentlemen I have ever met.

                                -JOHN MF"n BIELS!

                                -Finally taking a shower and getting the hell off a crotch rocket at my apartment. (11:09pm Sunday) Class @8:40am :(


                                Thanks again for the unforgettable adventure, great meeting everyone I have talked to for years on this forum, I'm trying to pick up a bimmer for fall. See you there.

                                Warning to everyone planning on going on the next trip. Please ride/drive at your own pace. Some vehicles/drivers physically cant keep up with others!

                                +Wishing a speedy recovery and new motorcycle to James! Bit by the Cheratola Sky-way.
