I have been wanting to blog since last weekend but just haven't had time. I got a call from my buddy Larry Collette telling me he had use of a cabin in Blue Ridge Ga. and wanted to know if Dan and I wanted to take the bikes and go up with him. We have stayed in the cabin before and it is great so I told him to count me in.
Dan and I met up at 7:00 Saturday morning and headed north to have breakfast with Larry in Canton. We hit some rain in Atlanta but out ran it by the time we got to Marietta. Larry was waiting at Cracker Barrel and when we were finished we took a round-a-bout mountain ride to Blue Ridge. We got to the cabin at 11:00. We drooped off our clothes and groceries and took off. We headed north/west past the Olympic white water sight and found our way to Telico Plains Tn. The Cherahola Skyway starts here and is one of my favorite rides. Check out the pictures and you will see why I come here,
The Skyway goes east from here and in about 50 miles you wind up in Robbinsville NC. We picked up HWY 129 and headed back to Blue Ridge.
The cabin is a log cabin and most of the furniture is made of logs and branches. Check out the pictures and you can see why I come here.
Larry did the shopping, I think he did well. Can you see why I come here?

We ate dinner on the back deck, it is hanging over the Toccoa River.

We had a few drinks, relaxed and hit the sack. This is my sack, see why I come here"


In the morning Dan and I headed south/east threw Suches, Dalonega, and home. Larry went west to meet his wife on her motorcycle and spend the day riding.

Great weekend, great ride, Great friends.

Looks like you had a great time. That area is really beautiful. You missed out on a title, though "Can you tell why I come here?" would really say it all!!!

Talk to you soon.....

I can, in fact, see why you go there! Looks like a great time was had by all. I sure do like the look of those steaks, I think we're having some like that at the firehouse tonight. Gotta love it when it's up to the single guy to provide dinner haha. Take care.

That is just beautiful - the scenery and the cabin. Those steaks look might good, too.
