I was up there but never stopped to say hi. I was that srewball flying around on the yellow Sprint RS if you saw me. I passed a big group on the way up near Blood Mountain and saw some more at Deal's Gap. I've got pictures I'll post is a bit.

We had a great time. There were folks from all over the country(This side of the Misssissippi) and even one from Canada. Just over 50 in attendance. Everyday we would get together and decide where we wanted to ride. Usually we would end up in various packs, depending on how fast you wanted to ride. It was held at "The Iron Horse Motorcycle Lodge". They are VERY accommodating to us motorcycle types. Very clean and beautiful grounds. They have everything from tent sites to cabins that you can rent. There is a main pavilion that everyone can gather in. There they serve you breakfast and dinner and very quickly too!

There wasn't enough room in their refrigerators for the kegs, so I had to put them in the creek.....

Friday night we broke out the booze... The Kentucky gang knows how to bring booze and tobacco... WOW!! They also brought many gifts to give away. Again I want to thank them for everything they did. What a great group!!! Saturday night continued the party with more give a ways....

I tried to keep the tradition alive and wore me kilt...

I gave this guy the award for the furthest distance travelled. He was the one from Montreal.

And Derrick from the Indy Pack won the coat.

Joe's Cycle Shop donated a ton of gifts. Marc Parnes Motorcycle products helped along with many other good folks. We were on a ride and stopped in Tellico Motorcycle Outfitters... Got to talking to the owner and even he gave us a big bag of goodies. It was amazing the amount of support we got from everyone. I am looking forward to next year. It will be bigger and better.
