So even the motels are closed?
I checked availability there for tomorrow and it won’t let me book a room until May 5th. Others show available but maybe they’re not...
I knew the Skyway, Tail and Rt441 were closed so I was going to go across 40 and drop down 19 to MV or Cherokee for a night or two.
THEY'RE ALL CLOSED
 
FYI... NC has extended the stay at home / essential busn only until May 8. If you want to escape to the mountains, see list below for places to stay in TN & GA. Come see us at the Dragon, the stores are open with food, gas, and EV charging station. And, if you live in NC - #DanForest2020

Day 51 - 300 miles into NC and back to TN.

So, I was in Tellico Plains and spotted his & hers large Indians but I don't think it was Dr. D & wife??

Cherohala Skyway - check! Really foggy at the top and watch for some tree cleanup debris and just a couple areas with sand washed into road.
NOTE: There are several signs in Tellico Plains as you get on the Parkway stating that it is closed at the NC border. Trickery and Tom Foolery! Grip it and rip it!

Dragon's Tail - check! You can order food outside and eat on picnic tables. Shirt area is open.
Foothills Parkway - check! A nice leisurely and scenic ride.
BONUS Foothills Parkway northern extension - check! Wow, even more to love. There are even some nice twisties coming down towards Pigeon Forge too.

Someone said 441 is still closed but I will verify that tomorrow.

Was not Mel and Sandy because Mel would not ride with the same type of bike as Sandy as she would leave his arse in the dust.
 
Rick I hope you get to come to WV. There we can shake hands, hug and kiss and exchange all kinds of dangerous bodily fluids. :laugh: Sandy says I’m picking a fight.;) I say no just jerkin your chain.:p
