Hey John and Mydnyte, (and J-ROD)

I hope your weather the other day was as relatively calm as it was here. I have a co-working that lives in Scottsville, KY and he sent me some pics today that he took 1/2 mile from his house. It looks like a thousand bulldozers tore through there. The damage is unbelievable.

Anyway...glad to be here and have already learned a lot.

Thanks to everyone that has "blown smoke" my way.

Welcome to SMF. This is THE place to be. Tenn. is a beautiful state. I was stationed in Clarksville (Ft Campbell) in another lifetime. I have rode my HD on Tail Of The Dragon and it was great. Have fun with the smoke.

CMAN95,

I rode "The Tail" yesterday for the first time......that was an experience that I will not forget (or do again) anytime soon. I have been driving for more years that I care to count in almost every state in the US. That is by far the curviest road I have EVER driven. Someone has counted and reported 318 curves in 11 miles.

And yes...there was someone that had wrecked. Looked like they just drove right off the road.

If you look at this road on a map it does not look all that bad. And since it is a US highway they can not ban semi's from using it. I can not imagine the total fear that a truck driver would have once he realized what a mistake he made by not heeding the warning signs. And yes...they say about once a week some driver will take the "shortcut".

Anyway..just wanted to say HI to everyone this morning. Now gotta go find something to smoke.

Welcome to the forum. Beautiful country you have up there. Would love to live there when I retire and get away from this hurricane country.

We go to Gatlinburg all the time. It is exactly half way to my parents in Huntsville, AL. If you are looking for a new smoker, mine actually came from the Bass Pro Shop in Seveirville. "Smokey Mountain Series", get it

. I have wanted to come down there for the the Bloomin BBQ & Blue Grass. Anway, I am a newbie so I look forward to you imparted wisdom. Welcome.

We have not had too bad of weather so far. The wind was kind of annoying yesterday, but no storms to speak of.
