Tonight we are at the Iron Horse Motorcycle Resort in North Carolina. It is near Fontana Lake, just south of the Smoky Mountain Nat'l Park.
I would change the Niagara Falls pictures except we forgot to bring a camera with us. So you are stuck with these for the time being.
We just finished the Honda Hoot Motorcycle Rally in Knoxville, TN. We worked it for four days, gave out tons of literature and signed up 10 new people. This is the first time we sold memberships, so taking credit cards was a new experience. It work out well though.
After the rally, we rode south to Asheville and onto the Blue Ridge Parkway. We rode north to Little Switzerland, North Carolina, which is right on the Blue Ridge. We stayed two nights with Chris & Vivian, MTN members who signed up at last summer's BMW Rally in Lima, Ohio.
Chris is Irish American and has traveled in Europe extensively. He turned us onto a European favorite, SKYPE! Skype is an internet calling system. Chris and Vivian not only fed us breakfast, but also fed us a steak dinner. They are getting married this Sunday in South Carolina, but said they were glad to have us as we were a distraction from all the marriage preparations It rained two solid days, and yet our hosts said "Please stay as long as you wish." We had a wonderful time with these MTN members.
We'll write more later.
Have a great summer!!!
