First long ride of 2011

Off to Knoxville, Tn. in the morning. Return home on Thursday. Not a planned trip, but I'm glad the weather is nice so I could ride up.

Good morning brothers and sisters. Had a good ride up yesterday and the weather is great today.
The burial is this morning and the church will provide lunch.
The service was real nice last night with lots of friends and relatives attending.
This is my 3rd funeral in the past six weeks. My best friend, former step-daughter, and now my uncle. I guess the older you get the more this is going to happen.
Thanks for all the well wishes and condolences .
Ride safe my friends.

i was going to ask if ya got there yet , but i see u made it already , it is true the older u get the less family u have left , i have 1 aunt left out of my parents gereration ,

Gary
Glad you made it there safely. There's a cool Holiday Inn (or some big chain) there that has a elevator that rises up out of the building for the last 2 floors. It makes for a thrilling ride at night if heights are challenging (scary).

Made it home safely. I made it to Sweetwater, tn. on the interstate and stopped for fuel. As I pulled out the was a big sign showing the way to the Cherahola Skyway. Well, I couldn't stand it. Off I go. Got to Tellico Plains and started up the Skyway and decided to visit Bald River Falls beings I had never gone that way. It was beautiful.
Turned around and headed home because I knew by now it would be dark before I got there. Rode in the dark about an hour and a half but enjoyed my littls detour.
Thanks for all the prayers as everyone made it to their destinations without trouble.
Packed for home.


Bald River Falls

Reliance ,Tn. store that I think was in the Deliverance movie.

Thanks for the show. Glad your home, I mean safe.

I'm glad it turned out to be a good trip.

One more time. Just found out my second cousin died at the breakfast table. Visitation in Tennessee tomorrow night.
Another unplanned road trip.
I'm ready for a break from funerals. Prayers needed again.

sorry to hear this. More prayers sent.

Man that sucks. Prayers sent. Have a safe trip.

Sorry to hear this. Prayers sent.

You got it bro. Be safe and get your rest.

Sorry to hear Gary. Prayers continue.
This is not the way to run up the post count.
