Looking good!

[GeorgiaBill]

Hey, Tommy, glad you are having a good time. Do you plan to ride across the Cherahola? Hope so. I registered but was unable to attend - right knee, xray, cortisone, MRI, and talk to the surgeon next Thursday.

Keep those pictures coming.

Good to hear from you Bill. I have done the Cherahola many times but can't do it this trip. I hope to make it soon. What a wonderful road.

Hope me you get up and riding soon,
Tommy

More pics

[TommyBwell]

This is it for me. I looked out into the little parking lot by my room last night and there were nine spiders crammed in there. I tried to get a pic but it was too dark.

My wife and I will be there next year. We're moving to within 3 hours of there this coming spring.

Great pictures, Tommy. So glad y'all had good weather.

How big an event is this one?

[TommyBwell]

How big an event is this one?
I heard there were over 700 registered but that seems high to me. They were everywhere but I never saw more than thirty or so in a single place. I figured we would take over the parking lot at Deals Gap but I never saw more than ten or so there. It seemed like 90% of what I saw were RT's.

[Chupaca]

Thanks for taking us along. Great shots sounds like a good time. :2thumbs: enjoy and be safe...

[SpyderAnn01]

Did you attend any of the events? Wondered how the dinners were, etc.

[ARtraveler]

Thank you for posting the pictures. They are great. :bowdown:

It was nice to meet you, hope you had a good ride home, keep in touch, Pat and Connie , we talked in the parking lot below your room...

I had a wonderful time, and got to meet so great people (Deerslayer for one, the others I cannot name). As for pictures, I figure we all know what a spyder looks like around here, so I mainly took pictures of the scenery. The pictures do not do any of this area any justice. I have been going to this area for the past 7 years, and plan on going every year as long as I have health and strength. I have been very fortunate this year. I have been to the Maggie Vally/Gatlinburg area 3 times on vacation this year, and to the Boone area about 4 times (daughter goes to App. State, so that was sort of cheating). I must say, although I do not travel a lot, there is no other place I would rather be.http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=118575&stc=1http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=118576&stc=1http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=118577&stc=1http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=118578&stc=1http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=118579&stc=1

I did not. Though only 165 miles from my house it was the longest ride I had taken since my back surgery and I wasn't sure I could make it so I didn't sign up for anything. That said the F3 was absolutely a dream to ride and after a total of 450 miles over four days I felt great. It's a long way from the thousand mile days of my youth but I'm just happy to be out there.

What a great shot!! Looks like the same spot I hit. What a great view. I went to the dam to get a picture but it was closed for repairs.

It was my pleasure. Sorry we did not get to hang out more. I told my family your $5,000 per win story while we were watching the Falcons win yesterday.

Glad you got home safe. I can't wait to see your pictures.

[blacklightning]

Lol! No, brothers don't hike, or camp out (quote from the movie "the marine"). This was taken from the bridge on 129 just before heading up the hill to the dragon.

I believe this is the power station at the start of the Dragon. Yes the Store is not the start place. Check the $5.00 map. :shocked:

[TommyBwell]

Gotcha, different dam. I actually have seen that before.

I love that Screaming Yellow Zonker Spyder :)

[CarolinaSpyderRyder]

I took a few pictures but I didn't want to post anyone else's Spyders or faces without asking them first.
