Live from Panama City, it is the Friday morning before the storm. Although reports are that reservations are down 40%, it seems a perfect weekend to enjoy riding and checking out a few bikes, beers, and babes. Pictures to come soon.

Trail of Tears 2008 - Chattanooga to Florence
Despite the confusion, the turnout was amazing. Probably 15-20,000 bike at the stop in Fayetteville, TN - and 35-50,000 in Florence at McFarland Park.

Trail of Tears 2008 - Two Trails?
Once again we find ourselves approaching the largest biker event held in Alabama, the Trail of Tears. Each year the estimate range from 90,000 to 150,000 motorcycles participating in the 30-50 mile long parade of bikes, commemorating the historical Trail of Tears, the 1838 removal of native Americans from the territory.
The interesting development this year is the the split of the ride into two separate rides. For the past few years a storm has been brewing between organizers of the ride until a split was made, and two separate groups were formed, conducting two separate rides, down different roads, with different stops and destinations. There is certainly a large amount of confusion about where the rides will start, and where they will end. The two groups each have their own website to find out more about details of where the rides start and finish, check out:

Lots of confusion for everyone this year. Let's hope it does not spoil the amazing spectacle this has become.

Buck's Pocket State Park - Alabama motorcycle rides
Second part of the Sunday ride after Paint Rock
Nice ride around the lake, then on to the park. It got dark too quick, so not much to see at the park or the overlook
