On Sunday, Lisa and I decided to take trip to Watson Mill Bridge State Park. Because we also wanted to grab some lunch, we stopped along the way in Athens for some pizza from Fox’s Den Pizza. We had never been there before, but the food wasn’t too bad (for a pizza joint).

Lisa, Ed, and I all set out Saturday morning for a day trip to Murphy, NC. We had a planned stop at Doyle’s Cedar Hill Restaurant, an establishment that none of us had been to, but one we were willing to try based on reviews we found online.

Me, Lisa as my passenger, my roommate on his FJR, and a buddy and his wife on his Harley Davidson all set out on Friday evening for a three day road trip. Our planned route was to ride up to Fletcher, NC to stay the night, ride a portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Smokey Mountain Parkway, and then take the Smokey Mountain Parkway to Pigeon Forge to stay the evening in a cabin. We would return on Sunday, stopping at the Dillard House for lunch.

I decided to risk the rain (which caught me at the end of the ride anyway) to ride about a two hour loop from my house to Buford Dam and back. It was a fairly simple ride, although I left my pre-planned route a few times to go exploring some of the side roads at the dam.
