"Ye Ol' Road King" is loaded and ready for the Memorial Day Ride to North Carolina with the Cave Country HOG Group. Jimmy and Alison will be leading 40-50 riders tomorrow to an area called Little Switzerland. The entire group will "Take Over" the Big Lynn Lodge for the weekend and ride the mountains every day, rain or shine..
We will be flying the Flag to Honor our fallen heroes. Everyone needs to remember what this weekend is all about and never forget those that served our country so valiantly.

Early morning gathering of the HOG members for a ride to the mountains.
Jimmy says "Kick Stands Up at 7:30" and he don't mess around. Be ready or be left.
Several members left at 6:30 and a hand full left yesterday for Gatlinburg. They will meet us at the Lodge.

Lunch stop at Pine Mountain State Park Lodge in Pineville, Kentucky.
What a beautiful day God has provided for us. The weather is perfect, kinda cool so the leathers felt good.
About 15 bikes here now and the earlier group just finished lunch. This was done to break up the large group for easier travel and services.
Come sit a spell.......
I was in awe of the woodwork.....beautiful!!!
If ever in the area, you should visit this Park.
Arrived at "Big Lynn Lodge" in Little Switzerland, North Carolina just in time to check in and make it to the Dining Room for a great dinner.
This is the view from my room facing East.
Looking forward to watching the sunrise tomorrow while sitting in the rocking chair and drinking my coffee on the porch.
Looks like I might be late for dinner. The earlier group are already "chowing down"...
Looks like someone played a trick on our "Fearless Leader El Presidente" John.
Our seats are assigned by the room number so we put a baby's high chair at his place.
He is always joking around with the members and this time the joke was on him.
John's a cool dude and does a great job of keeping the Chapter moving along.
Jimmy and Alison will be leading the ride all weekend and John is riding Tailgunner.
One of several "Gas Stops" along the way.
