Hey thanks guys, yea a Cattle drive, you drive cattle. Mrs Cruiser is barn mananager at a local youth camp so she is into horses big time. She still likes to ride with me but does not like, “Killer long rides”
Sorry it took so long to get back, went for a ride up to North Georgia, where I met the wife, kids and grandkids for a week in the mountains. My daughter and her husband took their bike so we have two bikes and two cars transporting everyone.
We caught the leaves at peak color, it is turning cold, and getting ready to rain, so looks like we picked the perfect week.
It is nice coming with the family and bringing the bikes instead of going with biker friends because we go and see tourist things instead of spending the day just riding.

We have been making an effort to see as many water falls as possible.
East out of Franklin Nc, Dillard Ga (64) is a beautiful road, with Dry Falls, (you can walk behind the falls where it is dry.)

Tallulah gorge

Don’t go here if you are out of shape.

And Ann Ruby falls over by Helen Ga

And here is the last day, I did not ride home, I drove home with Mrs Cruiser. I loaded the bike on a trailer and it will be home tomorrow with the kids. Man I don’t mind the trailer “thing” so bad, but hate not having my bike here.
This is Dukes creek falls, west of Helen east of Wolf Pen Gap that we just came from on the Richard Russell parkway. For anyone interested the Wolf Pen Gap is a lot like the Tail of the Dragon and the Richard Russell parkway is a lot like the Blue Ridge parkway. Just gorgeous, especially this time of the year.
Here are the falls, they are twins, the first one is on the left is three hundred feet tall, the other one is about one hundred feet tall, they come together at the base, but are coming from two different creeks off two different ridges.
They are too big to get on one shot.
It was magnificent.
The directions said it was a mile walk to the falls but I think it was much farther than that, plus it was way down into the ravine so not an easy walk.
The photo does not do it justice.

One last photo before we left to show the difference in the leaf color from the first photo, just six days later. It has been thirty years since I have seen the fall colors, (living is Florida has its disadvantages.)

I sure had a great time, it still amazes me that I never get tired of riding, especially the touring. The more I do it the more I want to go again.
