Sunday morning, originally uploaded by Tank Mobile.
Here I am at the overlook at sunrise on my final day at the Gap. As always I am reluctant to leave but it is a little bit easier because all my friends from home have also returned home. I can also handle the idea of leaving much better because I know I will have a enjoyable ride home.
This has been by far the longest that I have ever remained here and I am in danger of being labeled a Damn Yankee. It just makes iy so hard to leave when you keep meeting great folks and the weather is perfect each day. There are many people who I will remember and talk about around the fire that I met in the last two weeks, but the Jersey boys and Mr. 8 minute are probably the tops.

Well, the gang has all gone home now. I am still having fun, but I have to admit that it is not as fun now that they are gone.
I was very surprised to run into Verne a little while ago! He was actually just passing through while picking up a bike for a friend so I sat and talked to them for a while.
Tomorrow morning I am going to pack up the tent and start the adventure home. I have spent a lot of time on the freeway the last two weeks and I plan on staying away from the freeway on the way home. I still really dont know what route I am going to take, but I think I will head toward Cherokee in the morning. I would love to head to Georgia but I don’t want to get mixed up in the whole gas shortage thing.
The Harleys seem to be clearing out some so I am going to get back on the bike. I need to make the most of today because it is probably the last time I will be here on a motorcycle until next summer. It makes me sad just to think about it.

Nothing too exciting to report today. Bad news is that Sweetwater BBQ seems to be closed permanently. We got pizza buffet today and went to Fonta Dam.
Truck hung up already this morning, originally uploaded by Tank Mobile.
7AM and there is already a truck hung up just past the state line on the NC side. The only good thing is that there is room to get around it and the road is not completely blocked.
