Don't bring them scorpions up here!
![]() ![]() Western NC is where I stay. I run the BRP and the forest service roads around the area. They are not as well grommed as some would have you think. I also roam the northern GA and eastern TN. I haven't found much good riding around my are in upstate SC. ![]() |

The bonus is that it's an hour's ride from the Cherohala Skyway, Deal's Gap, and dozens of foerest service roads. jb

I've never seen one in 40 years of traveling around WNC, but I have seen dozens around FLA and southern GA. I'm not saying they're not in NC. I just haven't seen them. I guess there's a lot more hiding areas around NC.

We have the light tan colored small scorpions down here, but i think the cockroaches evicted them at my place. If he was still fresh you could have fried him up on a stick
