SheepOfBlue

My internet was down last night so no pictures until I get home tonight.

For the first decent ride since having my shoulder sliced open I headed to North GA. I went up to TN through Sewannee (a known blue sheep location) then down to Chattanooga and up through the Ocoee River (US64) It was interesting that the river was flowing by the Olympic center as this is not common.

When I hit US129 I headed south toward Blood Mt but detoured onto GA348 and down to Helen. Across GA75 and back up US129 over Blood Mt. Down to GA180 and into Succhess. GA180 is one I had not been on in a while and I forgot why. VERY narrow not a sign on it, no shoulder, no guard rail. Basically blind, winding, narrow, dark, with cliffs Up GA60 to US76 the back to Huntsville. Got some critter pictures and overlooks. Of course I did not get pictures of the line of Racoons I almost took out coming into my neighborhood missed Momma and the lead baby by inches on the brakes and next baby did a uturn (saving him from death by Dunlop)

Some pictures tonight.

Oh I forgot that while in Helen for gas as I was checking out a guy asked "ever ride a Harley". Well I said yes. He then asked if I still preferred the "crotch rocket?" I said yep he was baffled Oh and he was "returning" defective cigarettes and when the cashier gave him the new ones he asked if he could have the others also I checked everything on the bike as he seemed like a scamming weasel.

I'm not a fan of GA 180 either. There is usually lots of gravel on it as well. Sounds like a good ride though.

Defective cigarettes

Not enough carbon monoxide I guess . . .

not sure what other than he was pointing and complaining. I think soemthing on the filter or one missing. I was not really that interested as I did not want to get drug into it (as stated he was weasel like).

Oh and in the pack they contain 0% CO
