FYI- many of the local counties up here spent the time and money to redo the blacktop. Simply awesome to hit these curves on brand new asphalt. Under full disclosure, there are a couple of roads I avoid at all costs. The tar snakes simply take all the fun out of riding them.

To create maps (or anything really) to pluck down on a post, you get all that going on your screen first. These instructions are for performing a screen capture and some easy editing of what was captured:

1. hold down ctrl and alt keys, then depress print screen (keyboard button)
2. Start Microsoft Paint program (should open to a blank canvas)
3. Perform Paste function. (either from drop-down menu choice, or ctrl-v)
4. Use Select tool to box-in what you really want out of the screen print.
5. Perform Copy function. (either from drop-down menu choice or ctrl-c)
6. Start a new canvas, ignore saving anything there so far.
7. Perform Paste function.
8. Now Save work as a jpeg-type file with a name of your choice.
9. Upload this "captured" image to your favorite photo-holding server.
10. Finally, follow the same steps you normally do to post pics to your posts.

(This either helped a lot, or permanently bent your brain into deeper confusion)

Been to Brasstown Bald several Times once with Lucy on board .. Last time stayed at the Copperhead Lodge in Blairsville .. Great Very Biker Friendly place, actually is owned by Bikers .. Although staying at Pauls will cost you a lot less with great hospitality as well ...

Jay, Paul. let me know a weekend where we can meet and I'd have no issue meeting up with Paul and staying with him and riding.

My work schedule is getting hairy right now.

And you guys let me know if you want to do a fishing trip in the gulf this fall as well.

That's pretty much what it did. I'm on a Mac laptop, so I don't have a print screen button. Oh well, thanks for the instructions anyway. LOL
