What an amazing place, I love all the animal noises at night. The guy who owned the place was great, it's amazing how we get so much wrong in life by chasing the wrong dream and then to be enlightened by the simplicity and beauty of nature. Many thanks Sowatha, you're video's always make me smile, love and respect.
@@RichardYeoman-dh8um I’m so glad you noticed and appreciated the sound of nature there. Imagine being there in person? not only the sound but the smell of the leaves and wood…I was very impressed with the story but also the kindness of Bob and Cathy Weronik.
Great place! Thank you for the content. Copperhead Lodge is great too. (Flying Trout Restaurant.) Awe, "walk of shame." You'll get the hang of it. May your friend Rest In Peace.
@@independentcontractor1633I will have to try the “flying trout” next time, the menu looked very nice. Walk of shame 😭, working on it. Thank you for your support.
I'm 66, been riding since I was 16. I still take the Electriglide out every spring and ride the gravel roads for an hour or so, just to keep in practice. Still grumble when I come up a patch of the stuff.
@@johnwalshire2884 practice makes perfect. I’m planning on hitting more gavel roads. You, sir, are amazing and I want to grow up to be just like you and ride my bike until I can’t anymore…
That's the type of camping i like. A cabin or tent cabin. Looks like a great place to stay. The gravel, soft sand on a tall bike is tough. No shame after your accident. I'm glad you put a tribute to your BFF. I know the sudden death of someone close. My oldest daughters mom was sudden. She will always be with you in her spirit. The pain of losing someone close is tough in the very beginning. As time goes by, you will still have those moments , it feels like it just happened. I call it the ballon in the box. When its new, the pain of touching a balloon is painful. Then the balloons start to deflate and get smaller. So you can avoid the pain. But they are still there, and once in a while, you will touch one and , it will feel like it just happened. Prayers to her family and friends.
@@JohnDavis-ol7qg I’m so sorry to hear about the sudden death of the oldest daughter’s mom…thank you for your prayers and constant support. I’m usually not one to be afraid of anything; that’s why I can’t understand that paralyzing fear… I just need more practice on that terrain.
My deepest most sincere condolences my friend. I understand what it is to lose loved ones and you Young Lady have had it very tough. I pray Wakan Tonka brings you peace. My daughter that introduced me to you send her prayers also. Not one for commenting and like me cannot give a thumbs up on such videos. We both admire you getting out there especially the camping. Too many will critique you on gravel but let's remind them of this; Teal represents PTSD AWARENESS! My Mission tattoo to help prevent suicide begins with a teal colored semi-colon. Writers use a semicolon because there is more to come. Granted it was three inch rock but I to still can get nervous on gravel driveways. When I drove a mixer truck out plant's yard was 3" rock as was our remote mixer in the field and since I ride everywhere that means dealing with it to park for work. You are not alone, none of us enjoy riding on gravel! We just stay in low gear, stay off the front brake and don't try to strong arm control. 2024 had it's tragedies so let's look up for a better 25 and strengthen our prayers. With Love and Respect You are in my prayers Hoka Hey
@@vangoodwin7335 Van! I love your words of encouragement. 2025 is going to be stronger and better ❤️. Please, tell your daughter I said “ thank you”. 🙏🏻
I will have to check out that campground this year. Nice little series, great area to ride. Too bad you both had to rush back for work. Nothing like riding in the early morning in the south, especially on Sunday morning, my favorite.
@@Hogdriver88 I agreed, I didn’t like having to rush. There were some nice scenic lookouts that we missed. Hopefully, we will catch them next time. Suches Adventures is really clean and comfortable, and the owners are awesome! I hope you get to visit them. Not paid advertising 😁
Have really enjoyed your videos,been most places(areas and roads) in the North Ga mountains.Did not know about Suches Adventures though.Fun video,thank you.✌️
For those hills, keep your right foot on rear brake. As soon as you start letting the clutch out and bike starts to push, just let off the brake. My wife is 5’ 2” once she figured out how to do this her confidence went high.
Another great video, even though you had issues with that gravel. I try to stay away from downtown traffic if possible; I'd rather take back roads than go through downtown Atlanta. Again, my condolences to you and your friend's family, and I'm sure she's smiling down on you. May she rest in peace.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
@@StretchingOn3Wheels indeed, I wished I could avoid Atlanta. Had I not been in a rush for my zoom meeting, I would have taken the long way home. Thank you again for keeping us in your prayers.
Another great video, thanks for sharing. I'm gonna have to add North Georgia to my list of places to explore. Gravel does suck; please keep working on it. - Sincere condolences regarding your lovely sister Rose 🙏 ❤️
@@donniecamp7328 I hate that I have such a fear. It’s definitely something I’m planing on overcoming soon. If you plan a trip to North GA mountains, please stop by Suches Adventure: great people for sure. Please pray for Rose’s family as well.🙏🏻
@@Sowatha13 Thank you for the recommendation; since watching your video I've already looked into a reservation at Suche's. - I'll keep her family (includes you) in my thoughts.
Great finish for the trilogy. I've enjoyed all of them, and it's hard to pick which one is the best! This one is a fantastic guide on where to go and what to do in that area, I love it. The campsite videos overlaid on the interview with the owner were pro level, even the sound quality. With every new video, you raise the bar a little bit higher. PTSD is real, but the only way to cure it is to get back on the proverbial horse. This reminds me of Barry's character from the movie Beerfest-gotta play the pong again. Sorry for your loss; your best friend will be remembered.
@@jozinzbazin2222 thank you so much for your kind words. I do all my editing, despite the ridiculous amount of time it takes, I still enjoy the creativity part of it. PTSD sucks but I’m working on it. Can’t have an adventure bike and be afraid of gravel 🤦♀️.
Toute la vidéo est fort plaisante et donne vraiment envie de venir découvrir cette endroit, mais j'ai surtout été ému par l'hommage que vous avez rendu à votre amie Rose, une fleur du mois de Mai partie trop tôt( je suis aussi né en Mai et dans la même décennie). Gardez ce sourire qui éclaire vos vidéos, à très bientôt, amicalement ✌ 🙏 ✌
@@FREESPIRIT-eo9vn merci beaucoup de votre encouragement. Rose me manque énormément. On était copines pendant 34 ans…je suis aussi née au mois de Mai. Taureau 😁.
Funny I always ride slower on a motorcycle than I do a car I'd rather enjoy the ride .... also I give you so much credit by goin with whatever Thomas brought for dinner. I bet he really appreciated that I know I would have.
I don’t like rushing either on a motorcycle, I like to smell and watch the scenery, I just don’t want it to be a blur. Beggars can’t be choosy 😁… I didn’t go get my own food, so I just have to eat what he got me and grateful for it. We’ve been riding together for over a year and he now knows I don’t eat much meat, just seafood and veggies.
Have you not been to Two Wheels of Suches, at the intersection of Hwy-60 and Wolf Pen Gap? Best motorcycle lodge and camping facility in the southeast.
Yes, I have been to Two Wheels of Suches, but just for lunch. See my video title “ how I managed to lose my riding partner in North Georgia Mountains”. How are the accommodations there? I did notice the campground and cabins there.
@@mattfair6381 Oh, I was just thinking how fun it is to defy stereotypes and break the mold of the perfect fearless rider. Plus, who doesn't love the wind in their hair and the thrill of adventure? Ride on! 😊
@@Sowatha13 Don't mind the internet randoms. I like to talk down on women riders as much as the next person, but based on your videos, you know what you’re doing and are fully capable of overcoming your gravel fears. Don’t let the trolls get to you.
@@ProBanjoPalyer true, he was a bit harsh…but I can’t let that bother me. I like to be completely transparent in my videos and many viewers relate to some of my obstacles. Lots would have edited that part out to look good, but the reality is that not many riders are perfect and we all have to work on something. More practice and time on the saddle are the only things I know to improve. I’m not a quitter and I’m not going to let that gravel issue take away my joy of riding.

@@ronalvey103 yes and the owners just had fantastic. ☺️
Great video. I had no idea this was right in my backyard. Something I'll definitely have to consider with my riding family. Cheers.
@@SaltyOldBiker thank you! And yes, this little gem is in Suches. 😊
I ride to the GA/NC/VA mountains twice a year from coastal SC and will definitely check this out. Thank you.
