A major ride that pulls on your emotions as you ride in remembrance of the Indians as they
traveled from Cherokee, NC to Oklahoma. We rode as far as Waterloo, Alabama several years
ago and from Chatanooga to Waterloo, it was like a 250 mile parade with spectators all along
the road - on overpasses, etc. waving we passed. A big pow-wow in Waterloo.
