Day 5..Travel from Asheville after short rally stay .

---

We did our 3 volunteer shifts at the rally, checked with all the vendors, visited with old friends and made some new ones. WiFi not really a great comodity in the camp ground so no blog entries for 2 days. We did manage to partake of the fare of the Biltmore. They are very proud of their food and drink. Ralf visited the winery but found it lacking as there was not one bottle of Boones Farm.

Left this morning with the decision to take back roads to Indianapolis. Highway 25 was beautiful until the dreaded detour sign appeared. The detour road (which added about 30 min)turned out to be equally senic but with the added attraction of now rerouted truck traffic. We got back to 25 and then on to 141 and 412 with interuption for road construction. After a short stop for ice cream and water, it was discovered that a key had been left on and now a dead battery was a problem. To jump start a GS one has to remove the seat and to do that the Micatec bags had to be unpacked and removed. Nothing liike an an emergency tech sesson. Finally got to Seymour, about 60 miles from Indy and called it quits for tonight. Tomorrow we will stop in Davenport for the start of a 1000 mile in 24 hour ride on Sunday. Hopefully the weather pattern will change in S. Dakota and the toronado threat will go away.
