Bring a bathing suit. Sliding Rock calls out to us on any day that seems too misty to me .....
Bring a camera or plan to take pics with your phone. Them girls on the slip slidy rock really need documenting, really they do.
We gots people on the list who will never go anywhere unless we bring them with us through pics, etc.
Bring some of your favorite sunblock, your arms and neck will need it, after days of riding.
Bring a spare set of keys (shite happens)
Put emergency contact info on your helmet and inside your wallet.
PUT A NORTH CAROLINA MAP INSIDE YOUR SADDLE BAGS (I carry two since I seem to like to leave them places)
Print out and sign the waiver form if you are planning to go down Vampire Road with us at night to the visit the inhabited Tunnel to Nowhere at the end of the infamous Road to Nowhere (them huge piles of poop inside that long lair are WAY too too large for a bear, so we suspect the Dragon hangs out there sometimes). Watch out for the 6 foot long snakes, they feel kinda territorial when you are stomping around inside their house. Bring a flashlight if you are of the skittery sort, but do count on the batteries going dead on you half way down the tunnel ....
Who knows, maybe we will get all fogged up pea soup style on the return trip like last time while we are there again .....
DO keep your sense of humor handy -- this is a rowdy crew, we may have gotten older but our sense of humor has yet to grow up to match our age level ....
Dave is the mature one -- let him negotiate with the cops and Forest Rangers. Remember, show respect for the Forest Rangers -- they ARE cops and they can arrest or shoot you if need be.
Do not carry concealed in a Federal or State park or near a NC Courtroom, school or a bar --- felony offense. We ride through them parks all the time, so consider that fact, please.
DO NOT SPEED IN TENNESSEE -- the whole stinkin' place is one huge gargantuan speed trap. Do not carry over $50 on you in TENNESSEE as they will confiscate your "drug money" and not return it to you, ever. Default unmarked speed limit is only 45 mph in TENNESSEE which goes to prove it is one huge gargantuan speed trap.
(MM lives there, and that explains a lot about some of his eccentricities)
I live in NC, where the unmarked default speed limit is 55mph and that counts in the turns, too. Them corner speed warning signs are just "good advice" and are not legally binding. People who were raised in NC should never go to TENNESSEE, ever. Their basic riding habits are a violation of the all the rules there.
