We ( me) wasn't through for the day so I didn't want to climb the stairs to the top . Yep , there was more , here's a snap shot of the part we didn't do. From up there the other side of the mountain is visible.

I didn't take a picture of the road going up AND down Bell Mountain. If ya ever get to ride up it you'll see why there ain't no picture of it. Its a 1.2 lane twisty up (or down) broken blacktop. We meet a truck coming down as we were exiting one of the switch backs ... it was one of the EXICITING PARTS !!!

They have different prices and different stuff , so I'm thinking different folks.

There were so many people buying Dragon fuel while we were trying to get a few stickers - that me and Dave walked across the road.

The bathhouse and campground still looks the same . Dave got the parking space closest to the tent area. But the long walk up to the bath house hasn't got any shorter , so I rode my bike up to it the first night (spinning all the way) and had to come down the black top road to get back down.

We picked a good time to go to ride the Dragon and surrounding roads.

The night temperatures are in the 30's and 40's now - it is currently 36 degrees in Robbinsville as I type this message at 6:42AM from the comfort of my warm home.

Daytime temps are in the 60's and low 70's.....and rain is forecast for the next 3 days with dry weather to follow.

With October just 1 day away and our morning temperatures being in the 40's or 50's it is obvious that winter is coming (we had one 36 degree night last week). I believe my riding will be limited to local rides on nice afternoons - I generally can get some nice cool weather riding in October and November.
