We spent a lot of time in the saddle today, didn't cover a lot of miles but spent a lot of time on nice, mostly 2-laned country roads. We had breakfast at the Fryemont Inn in BC and began heading towards Hot Springs, NC by way of "The Rattler", a very twisty road, 206 turns in 24 miles. It was a fun ride and the best part was there wasn't much traffic, unlike the Tail of the Dragon. We stopped at Ferguson General Supply Store which starts The Rattler heading north and had a nice chat with an old Geezer who tried to sell us one of the housing lots that used to make up his farm. They were too rich for our blood.
We stopped for coffee in Hot Springs and a bite at a small local owned bakery and cafe. Next stop was the jam packed Little Switzerland resort which was too crowded so we turned around and left. There was a fair amount of traffic heading back to BC through Asheville. Instead of waiting for dinner we stopped at an Ingels grocery store for some salad stuff and went to the cabin.
