Splitting the gas and the driving two ways makes it real easy to do and not all that expensive.

It's more a matter of time... between work and family I manage to have some difficulty finding much available time. I'm not complaining though. I am thankful I have a decent job and nothing is more important to me than family. In all honesty, if I were to make it, I think I'd ride there. I've ridden almost exclusively solo (occasionally with one or two friends, but that's about it) and would really enjoy the trip itself. I haven't ruled anything out yet but at this point it's not likely. I think it's more likely I might make the FSSNOC ThumperCafe in October. I read it's slated for Northern Louisiana but I didn't see anything more specific than that yet. I haven't managed to make one of those yet either.

Looking at the vidios of those 18 wheelers on the Dragon ... Thinking how fast we have came around some of those "BLIND" corners , gives me cold chills !

We really need to be more carefull . Normally I drive with-in my visionally Stopping distance. But I tend to forget about "Normal" in the excitement .... I guess one could say "SPELL-BOUND" by the Dragon !

Well, there is something there all right ....

http://www.isc.ac.uk/cgi-bin/stations?stacode=CCRT

Now why the heck do the Brits of all people list a seismograph station in the middle of the Tennessee mountains? That's sorta odd to me. This little tidbit of data leads you to this one on a subsequent search ....

http://www.wesjones.com/death.htm

Well, hells bells -- they are monitoring a huge controversial strip mine to make sure the big ammonium nitride mountain top removing type detonations have really stopped for "permanent".

Grin

We can go ride around a big flat denuded dirt spot where a forest and a mountain range used to be ....

.... or get gloriously lost trying to find it .... Wink
