Deal's Gap

Once again, the place was heaven. The cops were cool and traffic was light during the week. The Mini made an awesome tow vehicle and absolutly killed on the Gap until a fatass on a cruiser blew a turn and made me take evasive action. The right rear wheel and tire got totally demolished It was tons of fun trying to fing a Mini wheel and tire in BFE North Carolina. Speaking of tires, I put a new set of tires on the bike the day we left and got to the wear bars on the sides in 4 days Not sure wheather to be proud or pissed about that. Here's a link to some action shots: http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/Albu....aspx?a=597842

Thanks, the waterfall is called Bridal Veil Falls, on 28 near Highlands. The busted wheel sucked at the time, but it makes a good story now. Few more pics from the trip:

Loaded up and ready to go:
