breakfast with the trout
 

great smoky mountains national park. this guy was fishing early.
i wish i had his trout for breakfast instead of the greasy sausage biscuit i had.

part of the park is closed to autos a couple of mornings each week for bikes.
i rode 45 miles that day including some decent long climbs to get to the best areas. :eek:
great day. little traffic, perfect weather (in the mtns), and great scenery.

followed this river for a long stretch.
used to backpack in this area a good bit years ago.
hope to BP on the App-Trail some this fall when temps (and leaves) fall.

good swimming and jumping hole where i parked.

the chick was hot, but wouldnt jump from as high as the crazy teenager!
not a big area to land. not sure how deep, but lots of folks jumping. :eek:

FWIW- ive put 1200 miles on the bike odometer in the past 80 days.

Thanks for sharing the pix! Awesome! Your bike rides remain an inspiration.

Gads! I may have put 1200 miles on a bike in my lifetime :eek:

Now if I can just get up out of my desk chair without pulling a hernia ;)

The best thread I've seen in weeks on this forum. :) Great pics! Nice pic of the babe, even from afar her girls sure stand out!
