After the technical challenge of riding the Tail of the Dragon’s turn after turn, getting on the gentle curves of the Foothills Parkway was a relaxing joy. There were only a couple of delays due to ongoing work that day. Too many pull-offs to stop at them all to take in all the great views. Stopped at the Shaggy Moose in Wear’s Valley for a sandwich and coffee. Was hoping to try the Hillbilly Restaurant to see if they had squirrel or possum on the menu but they were not open. I will admit the lunch at the Shaggy Moose was great. I was surprised (not sure why) that Pigeon Forge was so big and saw a lot of architecture that seemed out of place. I got to Hot Springs Resort and Spa (and campground) well before sunset. Starting to think more about Hurricane Ian and it seems that I am not the only one thinking about it.
