9/21/2014 (Ride to Murphy, NC.)
The view from Clingman's Dome
We left Townsend, Tn. with jackets on this morning. The further up the mountain we rode, the happier we were to have on jackets.
The bear scat in Tn is not nearly as big as the bear scat in Alaska. Lauren said he never saw a bear in the Smoky's. I was sure glad that he didn't see a bear today as we walked up the trail.
We took some foggy pictures at Clingman's Dome and headed down the trail. Been there and done that. Wouldn't mind doing it again, when we have sunshine.
The shirt I bought yesterday at the Tail of the Dragon didn't fit. We had to go back and exchange. 2 shirts later, and a hat, (for Lauren), we are content.
We stopped halfway between Clingman's Dome and The Tail of the Dragon, and ate left over steak and chili cheese fritos. Don't get much better than that.
We traveled 182 miles today and had some really good pizza delivered at the Best Western Hotel in Murphy, NC.
We will head south tomorrow.
Amber has given the McLaurin's another fabulous day!
After the ride....
