After meeting with @klaviator in Ardmore and not feeling up to a group ride where I would slow down the group, I decided to see if I could put together a route that would be interesting and possibly new for those in North Alabama.
It took me 8 hours to cover about 160 miles on the Van Van because of the frequent stopping to stretch and figure the next leg.
Here are some photos of of what can be seen on this ride.

Waited on a herd of 8 deer to clear the road because of fencing that was panicking them.

Saw this new Moto Guzzi V85TT when I was fueling.

Glad you had a good ride. Which direction did you go?

I went east. I have custom routes in my GP S. I am going to ride the route today on the Himalayan to see how long it takes. Game?

Many of the roads contain 'ridge', 'creek' or 'hollow' in their names. That tells you the riding will be interesting. LOL!
