My wife and I took our aniverys week(32) the 1st week of July, in Ararat, N.C. It was great,rented a Cabin that was awsome,fully equipped,made me a hreo.Checked out Mt. Airy and road the Blue Ridge pkwy. We only had 2 days at the Cabin, so we headed sout from there. Stayed at Bone,NC, and made a couple of trips down on the bike to Banner Elk. A cool town,thought maybe Id like to relocate there,but looking at prices in a couple of realty mags,

Ya better have some cash!Then it was time to head home. On the way back north,the Bandit in the van,I missed my turn somehow onto 19 from 77 @ Beckly.(I thought I paid too many tolls)Keeping my eyes on the road,I asked my navigator where we were on the map and if I should go all the way to I79 in Charleston. She told me to go west on 60,and that would take me back to 19.

I looked at the map after I got home. I was almost already to Charleston! But that was alright we to the senic route. And maybe found a new place for a motorcycle trip. I sure wish I'd had been riding the bike instead of hauling it in the van,becase that would be a awsome bike route! Down around Gaulley Bridge and a town called something Ferry. Great motorcycle country,for sure! Now it back to the grind stone. These roads up here suck compaired to the roads south. Maybe in about 5 yrs., after the mortgage is done I'll move my bussness out of the snow belt.
