We were blessed with a visit from old friends from Pennsylvania (Yes, they were older!). We broke bread together on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the women went shopping in Pigeon Forge and the men rode the Dragon's Tail from Tennessee over into North Carolina. Roger rode with Bob in the Mustang while Bill and Paul rode their motorcycles. At 5000 feet, the fall color were extraordinary. Enjoy!
