Another state closer to Nova Scotia
Definitely the slowest bike on the Dragon's Tail.
A crash that apparently happened only a couple of hundred yards behind me. The guys friends passed me when I was following an 18 wheeler. Apparently the ambulance and police have vehicles permanently assigned to the Dragon.

For part of the route I followed an 18 wheeler. It was on the wrong side of the road around every bend and I am very surprised that it did not help add to the statistics above. I can only assume that he was following his satnav. There were loads of bikes on the route and most of them going very fast. I took a head cam video of part of the Dragon and I have posted this on YouTube with the link below:
From the Dragon and onto the Blue Ridge Trail
First trailer I have seen being pulled by a VStrom
Firstly went through the Smokey Mountains which were stunning
The first time that I have seen a 360 degree bend
It was getting late so I pitched the tent here right beside the road and I thought it great until numerous vehicles started passing. A Cherokee Native American stopped and told me how to get to the Mile High Campsite some 10 miles away. I struck camp and followed his directions. What I did not realise was that he had given me directions for the back way there along a very rough track.
I finally arrived at the camp and everyone there wondered why I did not take the tarmac road straight off the Parkway
and the views from my tent were amazing
We all congregated around the campsite host's caravan and watched the sunset
They even fed me :-)
Never seen a sign barring you from swearing. This is a very religious area though
That feeling of being in a very religious area was reinforced by this sign. There is nothing like using a condom machine to spread the word.
The Blue Ridge Parkway was breathtaking
Nina was a Post Doc when I was studying at Dalhousie. She is now a professor at Virginia Tech but she still loves her muscle cars

Canadian, a hat, an MX5 and a long way from home
Unfortunately I did not have time to stay and partake in a tasting session
The countryside was very much like that in the Surrey Hills
