Tail of the Dragon and Blue Ridge Mountain Trip

Last week Cathie and I hopped on the Road King and did a 6 day, 2,700 mile ride to Asheville, NC. We met our  trip buddy Doug Monday morning in Milwaukee. We rode down on I-65 through Indiana and suffered through a 12 hour, hot ride, stopping in Frankfort, KY for the night. The next day we headed to Asheville, NC, getting a room at the nice Renaissance Hotel for two nights. The next morning we headed for the Dragon http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/riding-tail-dragon-9088145  and Blue Ridge Parkway, getting back to Asheville about 5 PM. On Thursday we rode through Smoky Mountain National Park, riding all day and getting 93 miles from Asheville (it was a very scenic ride). Then on Friday we headed through Kentucky, taking I-24 into southern Illinois, stopping in Bloomington for the night. Finally, Saturday we headed up I-39 to Wisconsin, riding through Madison and Oshkosh on our way home.
