Hank's Smokehouse-Massanutten

The weather here in Virginia has been gorgeous this November! Another beautiful day for motorcycle riding. Libby and I rode up to Massanutten to eat at Hank's Smokehouse. We stopped at Cuppa Joe's coffee house for a break and a coffee going up.

I really don't remember the leaf color staying so nice in Virginia for so long as it has done this fall. Really pretty!

Hank's Smokehouse was just as good as the reviews!! I had the Texas smoked brisket with whiskey BBQ sauce and Libby had the roast beef.

What a meal. We were two happy campers!!

And we got a great place to park too!!

On the way back we stopped at Cuppa Joe's AGAIN, but this time for ice cream! We took advantage of the lounge chairs outside the restaurant and enjoyed the sunshine and warm air!!

Did "discover" a couple of interesting things on the way back about 10 miles from our home. One of the WORST highway construction events you can encounter is a highway road painting truck!! I also now know that these "things" go only 10 mph. It took us almost an hour to go the last 10 miles on US 522 coming home! You couldn't pass the paint truck and traffic was backed up as far as we could see. Not really a big deal on a day like today and after a great ride with my wife and meal!! We took our time, relaxed and watched the leaves go by as we were in 1st gear going 10 mph!!

Also went over 70,000 miles on the odometer of my 07 Ultra coming back. Gotta schedule a 10,000 mile maintenance soon!

Took a pic in our front yard after we got back as the leaf color in the setting sun was gorgeous here too!
