That’s a nice ride. I rode to Robbinsville and camped a couple of days then rode up to Pigeon Forge and back to camp. The next day on the way out I rode the Dragon again but on the way back thru it the backend got squirrelly. I had picked up something and the tire was leaking down. Worst part it was a Sunday and nothing around. I aired up the tire at the gas station Between the rows it goes a Cherohala skyway in the Dragon. Then I sagged to the closest Walmart I got a canna fix a flat and borrow air pump. Thankfully I made it home safely but sure ruined a new tire. So I can relate to ya’lls little adventure with the water hose leak. Good luck the rest af your trip and be safe. Keep the rubber to the pavement.
