Who was the ap1 owner? Is s/he okay? On my way to FL yesterday I decided to stay in Northern Georgia upon hearing about the tornado watch. Money well invested. We need to keep well informed about weather conditions in these multi state trips.

Made it home Monday morning at 2:45 AM after leaving Sunday morning at 8 AM. Long haul but taking the twisty roads out was too tempting. Did you know there is a road called the Rattler? It was somewhere around road 70 North of Bryson. Aside from taking too many great back roads (too fun to resist) the trip home was uneventful but really long. And I just used up a new set of Star Spec II's in 8 days. Ouch No camber wear though. Nice even gone rubber.

You guys must have took the short cut. LOL
You missed another 6 hours of winding roads on our way North before climbing on the super slab.
