MAGGIE VALLEY DAY 2

MAGGIE VALLEY DAY 2

Not having as many miles to cover today, I lingered at the motel for breakfast, and got underway at 640am and would ride 294 miles before the day was complete.




It was a cool and refreshing ride east across Tennessee.  The countryside was so green, I-40 had sweeping curves and rolling hills.  Traffic through Knoxville was not fun, I never like cities.


Soon I left the interstate for roads less traveled, above picture is an example. 


Stopped at the Bobarosa for a break before heading over the mountains on highway 209, also know as "The Rattler"


Stopped for a picnic lunch at this site in the Pisgah National Forest.


The road I was riding was so very scenic, and the were very few other vehicles, enabling me to take my time and enjoy all the views.


This is one of the valleys I road through.


Staying in Maggie Valley with motorcycle couple on each side of my room who are from Michigan.  Ate a BBQ dinner at Butz on the Creek, and will now plan where I will day trip tomorrow.
