Default Life is GOOD

Being retired has its benefits, beautiful day in the 50’s so I decided to exercise the Vette. Since the Cherolhala Skyway is in my back yard the choice was easy, besides it’s a great road.Well the Corvette gods smiled on me today the road was empty and dry. I passed a total 6 cars all Going the other way. Not bad for an 80 mile round trip. Its not the Dragon but a lot closer and it has guardrails. Life is GOOD

Hwy 209 from Waynesville, NC to Hot Springs is a nice ride also. Kevin

I'm just 25 minutes from you. The Skyway is a wonderful place. I might try to run with ya next time you go.

Life is good. 2006 was a very tough year for me. But 2007 will be great! I am very blessed.

It does sound like a great life. Did you lived in Central FL before retiring?

Hi Martin
Yup, I lived in Montverde but I escaped last Aug. Now I live on top of a mountain surronded by great roads. So many roads, so little time

Awesome, I went to ride the Tail of the Dragon after coming back from Carlisle and that area is beautiful. It's good to be you.
