While waiting for the other riders in our group to arrive at the resort, I headed back up on the Cherohala Skyway as far as the Indian Boundary Road. That road heads down into the Citico Creek drainage, following a great, smooth dirt road along the boundary of the Citico Wilderness.

Got steak??? How about some real 'man food', courtesy of Yamadog. Just toss that thing on the coals and let it smoulder for a few minutes. Good eating! Arrrrrrrrrhhhh!

An early morning view of camp and several of the Versys in attendance.

A stealth Versys...

One thing that I've decided after spending the weekend with all those red Vees is that I want one too - maybe a paint job is in order.

I like those Trax panniers!

And the green isn't bad, either. Blue was actually my third preference when I bought the Vee, but I couldn't bear to wait for a green one to show up.
