Heading for the Gap this weekend.
The wife gets depressed around Mothers Day and indicated she wouldn't mind getting out of town this coming weekend. Being the obliging type I called http://riverstonelodge.com/ and got reservations for Friday-Saturday-Sunday. I planned to trailer the KLR and get some riding in but the weather forecast hasn't been looking good, finally today it has changed a bit. I think I will risk it and take at least a half day to hit the Foothills Parkway and the Dragon. Not sure which day but if you are in the area give me a shout here or on Facebook.Tags: None

If you do the foothills parkway, do both directions. Each one has a different look.Bob T. ~~ Play the GSR weekly photo game: Pic of Week Game

My wife grew tired of the KLR pretty quickly when we had it, but still likes riding with me on the GS.

No, my Wife gets around using a walker or rollator (Bad back issues), riding isn't an option for her. That is why I'm only planning a half day for riding. I will do tourist stuff with her the rest of the time.

Remember...
If you need help with anything, roadside assistance, tools, second set of hands, or help drinking bourbon, we are only an hour away from Townsend.

Wound up not taking the bike, Saturday was a washout but Sunday was OK. I drove the new section of the Foothills Parkway that runs into Wears Valley, My My what a fine road with spectacular overlooks. I WILL return on a bike. Here are some shots from some of the overlooks.
