You ought to venture this way again. I'm originally from NC and rode in my early years, since 74, NC Va and SC. Job took me in 77 to NW AL, so i got to ride AL, MS TN quite a bit. Moved back to NC in 89, back to old trails. Job then took me to MS, got to ride W TN, AR, LA. Moved to SW TX nad got to ride q lot of TX, NM, OK and into Mexico(just made a trip to Monterrey a couple of weeks ago). I'm in Texas now, but will be heading back to NC for the holidays.
