Hey kids, Flat Stanley here. We have continued our motorcycle ride and have now traveled into West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. This country has so much to see and I am really enjoying my travels.
When we got to Tennessee we took a ride on highway 129 also called the Dragon's Tail. This is a famous place for motorcycle riders. There are 318 curves in 11 miles of highway and it draws motorcycle riders of all types.
This is where all the bikers meet. It is on the border of North Carolina and Tennessee. It was a warm sunny day and there were lots of bikers taking this ride.
Here is a picture of me on the tank of our Harley Davidson. It also shows how many other bikers were at the Dragons Tail.
We talked to allot of people and we had a laugh at the tree of shame. This tree has motorcycle parts from all the people who have crashed their motorcycles and left parts of their bikes on the Dragons Tail.
Tennessee is known as the birthplace of country music. The most famous venue for country musicians is called the Grand Ole Opry. We took a tour of this music hall and the people there were very nice to me.
This is a picture of me and Jason in front of a giant Fender Telecaster Guitar.
They let me hang out in the dressing room prior to my big debut.
This is the famous microphone that so many great country singers have used over the years. They were so nice that they let me take my picture up on the stage.
Next we stopped at a Dukes of Hazard shop.
This is me on the famous car the General Lee. Just after we got back from the hotel, a tornado and thunderstorm hit. The power went out in our hotel and the wind was blowing trashcans down the street. One of the ladies that I am traveling with got stuck in an elevator. Tennessee is a great place to visit. Next we are going to Arkansas. The weather should be nice tomorrow. I am having lots of fun and am looking forward to getting back on the road.
Jason thanks the kids love all of Flat Stanley’s adventures.
