    I lead a group of motorcyclists on a 3 day trip this weekend up in the Nantahalla Gorge, Tellico Plains, Cherohala Skyway. The ride Doug and I did for years. Stayed in the Ridgetop, our place, and our room, D124 for 30 years. Regaled the group with stories of our (mis)adventures. Showed them places on the river we spent so much time, and had do much fun.Caught myself out of habit checking my mirror to see him.We fished and rode motorcycles for over 30 years, with never an argument or cross word.Was blessed to have him as my best friend.
