You're a Long Way from Malibu... Dan

[malibu_dan]

I like it.

Thanks, @sledge!

Haven't gotten to ride, phototag, or really burn in the performance tune from the Dynojet PV3... because we've been up in the mountains. Near the Tail of the Dragon and Cherohala; but alas, without my Spyder. Family vacay, with the dogs. And the kids. We did take the convertible, so we went up on the Cherohala Skyway one day, and I saw a Spyder. He was there with a bunch of his cruiser buddies. The riders were all bench-racing at one of the overlooks. None of them were looking at the mountains.


Don't kick me out for posting a car pic--just trying to prove I was there.



This is where I spent MOST of the week...



The dogs loved it...



It was good enough we're talking about buying some property or a mountain home up there. It'd be a helluva great base for riding some of the best roads in the country, eh? We'll see if the housing market ever regains it's sanity. Most properties listed are asking 2X what they sold for 3 or 4 years ago (according to Zillow).

Hoo, boy. Charlotte--she's got some new pep in her step!


Went and did some taggin' in the urban tag thread for ATL today.





Then I decided to tag some street art/murals. Taggin' tagging!







There was additional art at this place--I'll post those up separately.

The 'WHY' of art on this building was kinda obvious when you know what business hangs their shingle here.









Miami AD School is a immersive program/certificate school, focused on Art Direction, Copywriting, Design, Photography and Video.



They've got schools all over, this here is the one in Atlanta.

Thanks, guys, the encouragement means a lot to me! I enjoy riding and photography. They seem to go well together.

Nice day to grab some taggage. North Georgia methinks today. And, I am to have a wingman, wingperson today.



The tag today is in Dahlonega. That in an of itself is not enough to entice my co-pilot. No, the song that calls her is the tag is a cemetery, not just any cemetery, but one that has purported ghosts from the Civil War. I knoooowwww, right?!?!



Here she is doin' her thing! I know, I'm doing the same thing...



We spent the better part of an hour hangin' out in the cemetery. I'll go back and look at the peechurs again, but I don't think I got any snaps of ghosts.



To be continued...

I had to dig hard to find highly reputable sources, but quoting georgiahauntedhouses.com:

According to a psychic, this cemetery and the grounds nearby are a hangout spot for a group of Civil War veteran spirits. In 1953, the town librarian and historian Madeleine Anthony took a photo of the cemetery and it is believed to show several ghosts as well as a peculiar mist.





Can't quite make out the writing on all these headstone. "No, time will erase it at no cost."



Charlotte waiting patiently for us to finish our ghost hunting.

I decided to lighten the mood with the new tag!



Don't pet the panthers...

[malibu_dan]

I sometimes forget I have flashed the ECU with the DYNOJET... and then I grab a handful of throttle.

Or sometimes I'm surprised when I don't need to downshift.

And then I smile inside the helmet...

[malibu_dan]

Has it been this long since I've ridden? Well, since I've ridden anywhere interesting enough to bring the camera? Holidays! That's it!

Hope you all did some of this...



and saw some of this!



and spent time with folks like these!



Happy holidays everyone, we'll see you on the road soon!
