Back Home

Great trip, here are the highlights:

• Fri­day Morn­ing: Odd­ball side stop on the way up at Georgia’s Ston­henge.
• Fri­day Mid-day: Lunch at Zan­zos in Clarksville, GA. Great Ital­ian food in an unex­pected place.
• Fri­day Night: 2 clean runs through the gap, out and back. First time that has hap­pened in 3 or 4 years and if we had gone home imme­di­ately after­wards the trip would have been worth it.
• Sat­ur­day Early Morn­ing: 2 nearly clean runs. About 8 miles out of a pos­si­ble 11 before being tem­porar­ily slowed for some motor­cy­cles. Nearly sim­i­lar result for the trip back.
• Sat­ur­day Mid-Day: Car­ni­tas at No Way Jose’s in Gatling­burg, TN.
• Sat­ur­day After­noon: Com­ing back to Rob­binsville through the gap, this time with a lit­tle more traf­fic, but some­times it takes a slower drive through to appre­ci­ate the sights out­side the yel­low lines…
• Sat­ur­day Evening: A Chero­hala Sky­way scenic over­look with the slowly set­ting sun as a back­drop on the way to din­ner in Townsend, TN.
• Sat­ur­day Night: That same Chero­hala Sky­way scenic over­look with the field of stars spread across the night sky with a back­ground of the milky way over­head on the way back.
• Sun­day Morn­ing: A nice lonely drive on the nor­mally crowded Hwy 19/74 through the Nan­ta­hala Gorge on newly resur­faced asphalt.
• Sun­day Mid-day: A meat­loaf sand­wich at Cracker Barrel.
• Sun­day After­noon: Home unscathed except for the layer of dirt, brake dust and insects on the car.

Tomor­row, the lowlights…
