blue ridge motorcycle camp ground closed

[Doug Pippin]

Steve I agree that there's lots of good dual sporting area near the IronHorse Resort. Willville at Meadows of Dan is a you said a great motorcycle haven with plenty of great dual sporting roads nearby. There's also a lot of good dual sporing roads near the closed Blue Ridge Campground in Cruso. Hurricane Frances dumped over 9 inches of rain in less than 2 days where I live near Asheville. The rain amounts varied in the area but caused major flooding in the rivers and the river flood plains. Fortunately we live on high ground and were not affected by the flooding. Check this URL for some photos of the flood. http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=331&groupid=107222&folderid=167145&folderview=thumbs&ck=>Septemberhttp://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=331&groupid=107222&folderid=167145&folderview=thumbs&ck=> 7 & 8 Hurricane Florence Devastation in Asheville Area If you want to see more photos go to http://www.citizen-times.com/ and click on the links under photo galleries.
