Re: ::: Viethorse visited GA and ride on Smoky Mountain

Weather was not so good for riding, but I did not want to cut short my route. I still stick to the plan that hanging around with the road 60 and US76.

I made another stop on the way, at a very nice corner:







I passed the corner and come back to take photos. A very impressive turn.





Leaves almost gone:


I forgot why I came down here...



I passed Blood Mountain again, alone. Rain kept dropping, the road was very wet. It was not fun at all on Blood Mountain that day.
It's better and better when coming nearer to Sy's place.

Arrived Sy's work place around noon time and it was hot there:


Here's how the VFR come back to its owner:


Sy took his car and come back with me to his house. Ed was already there to wait for me. A happy reunion:



Met Ed and Sy, I have nothing much to say more than my thankful to them. It was amazing time in my life, and it was really created by them.

Riding tracklog of my 7th day with VFR:


And here is the summary of my riding trip to Great Smoky Mountain:



Ed and I back to Atlanta. Sy back to his work.
We met a gain in a farewell dinner, and Mike came to join us again - It's really great to see him so happy :



Someone got drunk so getting this photo out of focus :


Slept very well for the last night in Georgia. Woke up very early and bother Uncle Ed again to drive me to the airport.
We was talking about coming back for another ride... and many others...

He took a photo of me before heading back to his house.
On the plane, I was recalling all of my memory about the trip. It looked like a movie, with lots of beautiful scenes, moments and all the awesome friends.
Talked to myself that I have to come back again.



Arrived Houston when the sun was raising:


I got another rental car for another day, drove to my friend's house:


Took a photo with him before we all going for another farewell dinner in a Mongolian restaurant:





Drove to the Airport in the next morning, transited in Chicago and then Narita (Tokyo) again.


I arrived my home sweet home with lots of great memories about TWT guys, about VFRD buddies; all the great and awesome guys who really make my trip.
I don't really know how to say, just thank you All, my Friends. Wish you All happy and ride safe, always!

The number one rule for this forum!
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Eph 4:29 (NIV)
Think before you post. Leave out the vulgarity, personal attacks and foul language!

Quote:
Lies are fragile. They require constant attentiveness to keep them alive. The exposure of a single truth can rip through an ocean of lies, evaporating it instantly. - Brandon Smith

If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist. — Joe Sobran

It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a ‘dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance. – Murray N. Rothbard

When one possessed of the Truth suffers from a heavy heart he is susceptible to a more dangerous affliction — the craving for power to eradicate error, to cause Truth to triumph by force. - Frank Chodorov

Where politicians flourish, long history has harshly taught us, people and their liberty wither. Where the state is god and the "public interest" worshipped, individual man will be found bleeding upon the altar. - Karl Hess

The accepted wisdom is that without the state, society would collapse into lawlessness and crime. In fact, lawlessness and crime define the very nature of the state and the society organized by it. - Bionic Mosquito

But the myth of the rule of law does more than render the people submissive to state authority; it also turns them into the state's accomplices in the exercise of its power. For people who would ordinarily consider it a great evil to deprive individuals of their rights or oppress politically powerless minority groups will respond with patriotic fervor when these same actions are described as upholding the rule of law. - John Hasnas
