    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

My Blue Ridge Parkway Ride 2016

What is it with the weather when you least want it? We started off the morning with fog again delaying my departure for a couple of hours. We made it to Cumberland Falls where Stator thought he could find gold

and then took in the waterfall. I am a little surprised there is still that much water in the river but I guess there was been a good amount of rain lately with the hurricane and all.

Though I didn't make it to Albuquerque, I did try to make the ride home last for awhile. However, I decided to jump onto the interstate near Lexington and arrived back home with 1,785.6 miles through 6 states over the last 7 days. I definitely want to go again

I went back through and added some pictures to the various days. One thing to add for those who haven't yet made this trip - go. There are so many things to see and do that it's a must. I already am thinking about how to make it back to the top of the Skyway to walk through a fantastic museum and of course try to ride down the Dragon and maybe even Devils Triangle. However, I also want to spend time in Cherokee and, as Steve said, there are some great looking roads off of the Parkway I'd like to visit some time.

I'm so glad I finally completed this ride.
 
Congratulations on completing the journey. Nothing a nice long motorcycle trip to make you want to get back out and do another. Great pics and write-up. Thanks for sharing.
 
Nice thread. I'm glad it finally has a happy ending, Scott.

That sure is beautiful country over there. Thanks for bringing us along with such great photos and ride reports.
