We know we are on to something!

#3Th a n k y o u f o r r e a d i n g

Dashboards and Saddlebags “The Destination Magazine.” I had very high expectations when the first issue went to press, but I never imagined that it would have taken off as it has.

We expected to hear stories from our advertisers about readers in the Lake Norman area patron-izing their businesses, but I never expected people from other states and countries stopping into a busi-ness because they saw it in Dash-boards and Saddlebags Magazine.

We were dropping off magazines in Burke County when we decided to drive up to Little Switzerland. The Diamondback (a road you will begin to hear a great deal of) is every bit as fun as any “tail,” without the traffic.

We get up to the top and see a tiny little inn on the edge of the mountain, and I mean the edge. The sign said Alpine Inn so we stopped and stepped up to the leaning lobby to meet Susan and Ron, the owners of the inn. We chatted a bit and made the decision right there that we would be back as guests. As we were getting back in our “truck”, a couple was pulling into the inn with Washington State

plates on their motorcycle. We be-gan to chat, and it turned out that the couple was from Denmark. They flew to Washington State and picked up a bike to tour the East-ern United States. Well being the helpful person that I am I handed him a magazine, to my surprise he stated that he already knew the magazine, he read it online.

I’m still a print kind of person, but I have to admit I am amazed by how many people are viewing us online, where they are and what they view us on. We set up DashboardsandSaddlebags.com to be easily available on mobile devices; you can select an event in our destination calendar get direc-tions with just a tap of your screen. If you have a Google account you can add our events and destina-tions right to your own calendar or map. See, we really do want to be your “Destination Magazine.”

87% Forest 100% AdventureIf you love the great outdoors

check out Bryson City and Swain County. Whatever you love to do in this great outdoors of America, chances are good you will find it here. With 87% of the county designated as national forest, there is much unspoiled beauty to see. You choose whether to see it hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, on a motorcycle or cruising in your automobile, to name a few.

We made our first trip to Bryson City on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Blue Ridge is one of those “you gotta see it for yourself ” things. It is hard NOT to stop at each scenic overlook, especially after we found wild blueberries growing along the road. A word to the wise, do not go farther into the woods, because the bears like blueberries too.

We spent our first night in a mo-tor inn just outside Bryson City. We marveled at how bright the stars are up here in the mountains, and woke up next morning to the sound of birds.

That day we planned a day of hiking, wanting to see some of the beautiful waterfalls in the area. First, we filled up on breakfast at the Everett Street diner, a place worth repeating. Picked up some great subs for lunch at the Filling Station across the street, then headed out to Deep Creek. Deep creek is part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and is easily accessed through Bryson City. It’s the perfect place to spend a day hiking, white water tubing, or getting up close and personal with the three waterfalls, each of

which is quite different from the others. Of course, we enjoyed our picnic too.

That evening we checked out “Music in the Mountains” at the Railroad Depot and strolled down-town doing a little window shop-ping. We came across the “Cork and Bean,” wine bar and coffee house. Couldn’t resist stopping for some “lite fare”. Last stop in town was Nantahala Brewing Company (good choice) before heading back to our inn. We ended our day sitting around a roaring fire in the fire-pit at Gear Head Inn. To-morrow, what will it be? Biking on Tsali trails, visiting “Wheels through Time” motorcycle mu-seum, or cruising some of these great roads on a Harley? What about you? What do you want to do? - Mary Fox


I Didn’t Know Burke County Had So Much To Offer

North Carolina’s western pied-mont offers excellent topog-

raphy for driving and riding. It is a region where flat lands rise to foothills, with those foothills even-tually giving way to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

A prime spot to experience the western piedmont’s inviting terrain is Burke County. Situated about 75 miles west/northwest of Charlotte, Burke County is home to Lake James, two state parks, winding country roads and a portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The pleasant mid-sized city of Mor-ganton is the county seat. Morganton provides the perfect base camp for exploring this bucolic county of 515 square miles where elevations range from 900 to 4,350 feet.

Burke County makes a nice week-end getaway from Charlotte, and a visit will probably leave many Moto-Tourists scratching their heads and saying, “Wow, I didn’t know Burke County had so much to offer.”

A good way to access the county is to head westward out of the Queen City on Interstate 85 south to Gas-tonia. From there, take U.S. 321 North to Lincolnton and exit onto N.C. 27 West.

Follow N.C. 27 for 17 miles to the intersection of N.C. 18. Make a right onto N.C. 18 and you’re just south of Burke County.

Highway 18 is a great country byway. The speed limit is 55 and the road is punctuated by long, flat stretches. Once you hit the Burke County line, a small range of moun-tains becomes visible to your left. These are the South Mountains, seemingly a bit out of place in the gently rolling piedmont landscape, and it’s worth a left turn off Hwy. 18 to explore South Mountains State Park.

The park was formed in 1974 and encompasses 18,000 rugged acres. There are hiking trails, biking trails, waterfalls, backpacking campsites and several miles of trout streams.


Burke County TDA AD.indd 1 5/18/11 1:35 PM


High Shoals Falls is a particularly stunning spot.

Upon leaving the park, jump back on Hwy. 18 north into Morganton. The downtown is both historic and lively. There is a museum to honor

“Senator Sam” Ervin, a Morganton native and U.S. Senator from 1954-74. Ervin was a colorful character with a deep Southern draw who’s probably best known for chairing the Senate hearings on the Water-gate scandal that swept President Richard Nixon from office.

Downtown Morganton has sev-eral neat restaurants, including Yi-anni’s, along with a modern city movie theater that you would nor-mally expect to find in a larger town. If you stay the night in Morganton or Burke County, make sure to visit Catawba Valley Brewing Company. It’s a tasty local brewery, plus the owner is a Harley rider.

A good day of riding – or driving – begins and ends right in Morgan-ton. Take North Green Street out of the city, where it becomes Highway 181. This road is a favorite of Mo-toTourists. It begins in the foothills and runs northwest into the Pisgah National Forest. Along the way are spectacular views of Table Rock and Hawksbill, two of the most distinguishable mountains in North Carolina. Highway 181 takes you all the way to the northernmost tip of Burke County and intersects the Blue Ridge Parkway near Pineola, just south of Linville.

The road begins as a two-laner of ups and downs heading out of Morganton. During the early stretch you’ll encounter a significant num-ber of landscape tree farms. You’ll pass rows and rows and rows of ornamental and landscape trees in several locations.

The road also goes by a state fish hatchery before beginning its fun-

filled climb into the Blue Ridge. At this point, the highway incorporates several passing lanes, allowing vet-eran drivers to blow by rookies and leaf-lookers. Make a point to stop at the Brown Mountain Overlook on your right to learn the story of the Brown Mountain Lights, a mystery that has perplexed North Carolin-ians for generations.

Once you crest the mountains – at about 3,500 feet in elevation – turn left onto the Blue Ridge Parkway and make another left to go south on the Parkway. This takes you to the Linville Falls Recreation Area, a popular spot where folks hike down into the Linville Gorge and view the spectacular falls and lush greenery. The Linville Gorge, in the very top portion of Burke County, is considered to be the deepest gorge in the eastern United States.

Back on the Blue Ridge Parkway, head south for a few miles and exit onto U.S. 221 South. This is a fun and winding road that heads out of the mountains down to Marion in McDowell County. Just north of Marion, turn left onto Hwy. 226 and take your first left onto Han-kins Road. Hankins Road begins in Marion and roughly follows the headwaters of the Catawba River as they flow eastward into Burke County and Lake James.

When Hankins Road comes to an end, turn left on Lake James Road and strap yourself in for a curve-fest. Lake James Road winds through the Pisgah Forest on the northern shore of Lake James. When it reaches N.C. Highway 126, turn left and start looking for the signs to Lake James State Park on the right.

Lake James State Park, the second state park in Burke County, show-cases a mostly undeveloped lake that rests at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains. There is a great

picnicking area, plus fishing, hiking, boating, camping and swimming opportunities.

Back on Hwy. 126, it’s a scenic, bending drive back into Morganton and civilization again. In the city, be sure to check out Catawba Meadows Park, the centerpiece of Morganton’s park system. It includes the Beanstalk zipline, a 4-mile paved greenway, fes-tival area and 18-hole disc golf course.

Catawba Meadows Park is home to several cruise-in events and car shows. The park is also home to

Morganton’s biggest event – a four-day patriotic festival known as Red, White and Bluegrass. It is always held July 1-4, finishing each year with a memorable fireworks display.

Last year, the International Blue-grass Music Association nominated Red, White and Bluegrass for its pres-tigious “Bluegrass Event of the Year” award.

Advance tickets are $20 for a sin-gle day or $45 for a four-day ticket. Camping permits are $10. For more information, visit www.RedWhite-andBluegrassFestival.com.

A burgeoning wine industry is taking root in Burke County as well. The county boasts four wineries that are each worthy of a visit – Lake James Cellars in Glen Alpine, Rain-tree Cellars in Hildebran, Walden-sian Heritage Wines in Valdese, and Waldensian Style Wines in Connelly Springs. -Craig Distl

Bikes Or Bucket SeatsBikes or bucket seats always the

question when we are ready for the weekend ride. My wife, Jill and I are cruising buddies with Dallas and Jane our long time friends. Often, we ride bikes in a pack or if an overnight stay is the plan. The sports cars are better for the lug-gage. This weekend all highways lead to Stokes County. Dallas al-ways says look at a region not one destination. So we all made phone calls to set it up.

So Dallas and Jane talked us into packing their gear into my 250 square inch trunk in our Mini so that they could ride their bikes. (I thought my lady packed a lot!)

Above the Piedmont Triad area is Stokes County. The plan was to drive up Friday night and stay at Southwyck Farm, a B&B on High-way 704W. A gourmet dinner for four at 6:30PM in the main house, music from the locals at Priddy’s General Store at 8:00 PM and then back to the B&B for the night. The music was awesome.

Saturday over breakfast, Diana Carl, our hostess at Southwyck,

told us about Jessups Mill, just a few miles North on Collinstown Road. We checked out the mill-a hundred years of heritage-WOW! Then, we headed to the Dan River Company for a river trip that Jill set up. Turns out the roads in Stokes County are drivers, and bikes dream, well maintained with great scenery and curves you can almost see your own taillights in. The paddle trip is 6.5 miles on the Dan River and just as scenic and curvy.

On this amazing trip are rock ledges 80 feet high or more and wildlife everywhere: River Otter, Young bald Eagle, Blue Heron and Small Mouth Bass jumping out of the water. Dallas and Jane paddled a canoe while Jill and I had a great time in the kayaks.

After the trip Dallas had a sur-prise for us all. A Carolina Zipline canopy tour. I thought I was ad-venturous. This was wild. Jill was a little worried about the height, but these guys were pros at getting her motivated, so much so that now, we have reservations for a second run and a stay at their new B&B. She is hooked, a true “ziphead.”

We drove back to Southwyck and had a relaxing evening grill-ing out on the back deck, drinking cocktails and telling stories.

Sunday is for Hanging Rock State Park. The trails, waterfalls, lake and views from Moore’s Wall of the Blue Ridge, make this park a top pick in North Carolina. Just outside the park on Moore Springs Road is Hanging Rock General Store. This is the place to stock up for supplies. My first purchase was a NC Craft Beer, from Asheville called Highlander Ale, just one of over one hundred choices of beer and wine. Jane bought the whole crew a t-shirt to mark the trip. Dal-las spent a lot in the Bass Pro Shop area to replace the fishing tackle he lost on the river on Saturday. This place has everything you might have forgotten for your camping trip and Jill tried to get me to buy the 74 Harley-Davidson Sportster

that was for sale in the store. Great deal but she can keep riding on the back with me.

Back at our house, Sunday night, I realized what is in my own backyard-Stokes County, NC with many adventures of come. - Dave Hoskins

Touring Joara, a European and Sports Car Tour is set

for October 1, 2011. This is the second annual tour to raise funds for Exploring Joara Foundation a 501(c) 3 nonprofit which sup-ports the archaeology at Fort San Juan at Joara. Joara is the name of the Native American village where the Spanish explorer, Juan Pardo, built Fort San Juan in 1567 making this the earliest Europe-an settlement in North Carolina.

The tour is also a poker run and will take participants on some

Follow In The Footsteps Of Pioneers And Patriots


of the most scenic and historic roads in western North Carolina. Included in the tour will be Hwy 226A, “The Diamondback” one of North Carolina’s most challenging roads. From there participants will follow in the footsteps of Pioneers and Patriots as they drive over sec-tions of the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail. This trail is the route the Overmountain Men followed as they marched towards the Battle of Kings Mountain. At the Quaker Meadows stop you can step back into the 18th century with living history exhibits and tours of the historic McDowell House during the annual Revolu-tionary War Week.

Registration is just $75 per car; and a percentage is a tax deduct-ible donation to the Exploring Joara Foundation. At the end of the tour participants will receive a Touring Joara Tour Badge and

turn in their poker hand and the best 10 hands will receive a prize. The first Touring Joara was a won-derful success with great cars, fun roads, interesting people, and beautiful weather. Some of the cars on last year’s tour were Morgan’s, MGs, Fiats, Porches, BMWs, Jag-uars, Volvos, Mini Coopers, Smart Cars, Mercedes-Benz, Austin Mar-tins, an Aston Martin, Triumphs, T-Birds, Classic Mustangs, Cor-vettes, and Ferraris.

Designed by the Roadster Shop and artist Eric Brockmeyer, Blomquists’s “C1RS”

Corvette is a striking blend of hand formed aluminum and carbon fiber built in step with today’s F-1 race cars. It also served as the launch platform for The Roadster Shop’s new C1 line of Corvette chassis. Mated with Detroit Speed & Engineering suspension components, Brembo 14 ½” 6-piston brakes and one off custom spindle mount Forgeline wheels, the car’s ground hugging underpinnings served it well in the mandatory Autocross competi-tion at the Goodguys PPG Nationals (Street Machine of the Year award criteria calls for

all participants to log at least 3 laps on the Autocross course). With Phil Gerber doing the driving the ‘Vette posted the fastest lap of the event in 32.222 effortless seconds. Onlookers claimed it looked like the car was merely out for a Sunday drive while blowing the doors off the other 31 Street Machine of the Year competitors.

Under the hand-formed hood lies the heart of the beast – a 618 horsepower LS7 by Turnkey Engines producing 640ft lbs of torque. Custom stainless 2-inch primary headers emit a throaty roar and the Bowler T-56 transmis-sion gets it flying in a hurry.

Hands down favorites from the kitchen are the grits and cheese-burgers. When asked what made the grits so special, Sarah just said “I can’t tell you that” with a big grin on her face. As far as the Cheese-burgers she simply said “the beef.” Better meat, better burgers.
