where do the guzzles stay?

Gosh Versey !     You think of the Brainiest things sometimes !    I should have thought of that !  

I'll see if I can find out , but most of them are older than we are and  $$$$ better off than I am .   They may be the Holiday Inn bunch.   But ya don't know till ya ask !  

there's a walnut flats campground.
but there's also a correction center not that far away either.

here we go... just need a really big tent.

Same tool also spots the pay me campsites of which there are several.   The Appalachian trail goes through the area, so that accounts for several of the camping spots, the ones with no roads noted near by.   The area seems pretty empty, other than that.

Dismal Creek is the name of the nearby creek, it has a set of falls on it called Dismal Falls.  


This is the real name of the campground -- Walnut Flats Campground in Jefferson National Forest



And here is a "couple in a car" video review that shows the road styles in the area --- which are not very impressive compared to NC mountains, as well as a complete review of the campground itself.

This second reviewer is a fairly well off retired "homeless" man who pops between free spots as a life style, so he is fairly thorough and impartial with his information.

Note, both sets of folks mention intermittent showers popping up during the evenings, etc.

Guys, we can do better for both mountains and for scenery on a trip starting at Kickstand and roaming off to where-ever we want in Georgia, etc.

Lastly, to inform you very completely, here are two Goldwings running the DRAGON's BACK at speed.   The Cherohala is a more thrilling sweeper road and we know many more challenging roads already ....   That meandering road around the lake area near Robbinsville comes to mind as a "superior" little road.

Yep....me too!  This summer I plan on doing quite a few overnight and/or long weekend trips - and the wife may come along on a few.  A Kickstand weekend, a Two Wheels of Suches weekend, a ride in PA for Gary_from_NJ and I to do a Cafe' bike ride, and maybe a ride to the Cumberland Falls area in KY.....and a trip to the Back of the Dragon.

The Back of the Dragon trip looks like a nice 6+ hour ride on the back roads (probably 8-9 with the wife and frequent stops)...the Mapquest route looked to have a very nice curvy road to get me to Tazewell, VA.  I could ride down in a day and find a place to stay, send a day or two riding the area...then spend a day riding back.

What would be good is if this area doesn't have the afternoon pop up rain showers in the afternoon - it might be a good place to go riding when the Blue Ridge area is in the peak of the summer pop-up showers.
