back From our Midwest vacation.

[BLEW BUYOU]

Well we put some 2,700 miles on HiYo Silver and the trailer, up through Ohio to see Daughter and 2 grandsons, parents at an awards dinner in Cincy, brothers in Michigan and back through Tennessee to chase up and down Tail of The Dragon and Cherohala Skyway.
Got to see the oldest grandson play baseball and got him a new bat, of course. Had a great time with family for 10 days. Felt like old times. Seems to mean more the older we get. Went to all the old places the wife grew up and took many memorable pictures.
Car was FLAWLESS and oh what a blast on the Tail, Rte 129. Left the trailer at the motel and flew through the 318 curves on Monday so traffic was very scarce. MMMMM, those straight pipes were sounding awesome. Took another 50 miles of the Cherohala Skyway all the way up to 5,346 elevation, 72 degrees at the top, 93 at the bottom. Top down and two big smiles, just breathtaking.

We are going up to our son's in Suffolk and will stop by the VB event on Tues. the 15th to cruise down to NC with some of our friends. That is the only day we will have at the event. May go back through the Tail of The Dragon on the way home.
I have pictures but I can't figure out how to post, changes have been made since I last posted any. Hopefully I can refigure it out. JW

....... Jim, I thought the Tail of the Dragon is now 'closed' for cruising ? :confused:
