The wife gets depressed around Mothers Day and indicated she wouldn't mind getting out of town this coming weekend. Being the obliging type I called http://riverstonelodge.com/ and got reservations for Friday-Saturday-Sunday. I planned to trailer the KLR and get some riding in but the weather forecast hasn't been looking good, finally today it has changed a bit. I think I will risk it and take at least a half day to hit the Foothills Parkway and the Dragon. Not sure which day but if you are in the area give me a shout here or on Facebook.

Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

If you do the foothills parkway, do both directions. Each one has a different look.Bob T. ~~ Play the GSR weekly photo game: Pic of Week Game

No, my Wife gets around using a walker or rollator (Bad back issues), riding isn't an option for her. That is why I'm only planning a half day for riding. I will do tourist stuff with her the rest of the time.sigpic2002 KLR650 Ugly but fun!

Gotcha! Maybe a sidecar is in order for one of your thumpers. She'll enjoy getting out of town for the weekend nonetheless I'm sure.
Ride safe, and enjoy!Roger

Remember...
If you need help with anything, roadside assistance, tools, second set of hands, or help drinking bourbon, we are only an hour away from Townsend.

Wound up not taking the bike, Saturday was a washout but Sunday was OK. I drove the new section of the Foothills Parkway that runs into Wears Valley, My My what a fine road with spectacular overlooks. I WILL return on a bike. Here are some shots from some of the overlooks.
