After a day of riding, there's a little party going on.

I've heard the saying "That's a sight for sore eyes!", but this sight made my eyes sore! :)

After I rode the dragon, I bought the T-Shirt

Every once in awhile we stop to regroup and enjoy our surroundings.

Sometimes they even let me be in the picture

Watching the no action from above slide rock

This is a popular place during the summer to slide down the rock into the pool below

Today the water is 50* and the pool is 8' deep.

We made another stop at Looking Glass Falls

Al, trying to make the falls look better.

I wish he would quit blocking my shot

Two fine men, Tracy and Mark

Caught between a rock and a hard spot

Bridal Veil Falls

What is this veil thing made of anyway?

Kind of pretty but hard to hold on to.

Leave it to the Canadians to break the rules. :)

Last waterfall for today. It is called Dry Falls because you can walk behind it.

Mark was kind enough to walk down with me. He knew I would probably need help to get back out.

The river as it leaves the falls.

Our riding group today having lunch at the Motor City Grill in Franklin, NC

Myself, Jim, Sandy, Tracy, Mark, and Lucky Al

The next few pictures are taken from the Blue Ridge Parkway

It travels through the Appalachian Mountains for a distance of 469 miles. 

It is quite beautiful

The colors are vibrant and change through out the year.

Once in awhile you spot some real vibrant color. Candy Red in this case.

Most of the last few pics on the pkwy speak for themselves.
