Yesterday we rode across the Cherohala Skyway but unfortunately at the top (5,300ft) it was in complete mist so had no view at all.  We stayed in our best accommodation yet at Tellico Plains, in the Lodge above, and all for $95 (£60) - this included a whirlpool bath and yet again, a garage for the bike. Just as a comparison, the worst place we have stayed in so far, was a Best Western who charged $125 and the window fell out so we had to change rooms.

 As you can see we are sitting it out for a while as we are still surrounded in mist. We are waiting for it to break so hopefully on the return trip we will see the wonderful view we have been told about.  Tellico Plains itself is a lovely small town.
