A few pics from Friday's Cherohala ride - Ride Reports - VFR Touring/Riding

I took the day off on Friday and headed up to the Cherohala Skyway from North Atlanta.  I did close to 400 miles in 8 hours.  Not too much traffic out and a little breezy but otherwise nice day.  Here are a few pics I took along the way.

I'm jealous. I would have gotten out but we have Little League Baseball for my son (7) almost every weekend now. He's also doing All-Stars so it will be all Summer too. Great for my son.....bummer for riding!

I have my Cherohala shirt on... does that count?

so thats what that area looks like when you are not behind the fast guys and in terror.  All I saw when I was there was rusty guardrails and VFR rear tyres getting smaller.

Looks like a great day to me!!  The Cherohala is my favorite road of all.

Where is that? Never seen that before...

(Mind you I had to have the "Rock Pile" on the way to Suches specifically pointed out to me because I had never noticed it while scanning for cars trying to t-bone me at that weird intersection/turn off.)

Looks like a damn fine way to spend a day off!

I can't quite remember where the amphibious vehicle pic was taken but it was somewhere just North of McCaysville, TN.  I just sat there staring at the damn thing for damn near a half hour just wondering about it's history. I think the pics turned out pretty nice considering they were taken with my phone.

Thanks for sharing!!!  I have to live vicariously through peoples ride pics while I'm stuck on the couch recovering from surgery.   :sad:    It sucks.

Thanks for the pics, that's my favorite road down there. We normally stay at the Tree Tops just at the Bottom of it the Cherohala, great way to start or end the day going for a cruise up there.
