The Fuzz took his motorcycle up into the mountains this passed weekend. He was going to try to make it up to Mt Mitchel again. The last time he tried this, there was a complication and he never made it. This time things went a little better.
He followed the same route he had hoped to travel last time, but this time the Parkway was open. This is at the picnic place at Craggy Gardens (see map below*). You can see his motorcycle parked down there.
He had picked up a sandwich down at Asheville (and a cold one) and rode the Parkway to this picnic area for a little snack.
This is where this cheap little "Multi-Tool" came into the picture. The Fuzz's "Cold One" had been carefully wrapped up so it would, in fact, be a cold one. And it was. But he had not brought a bottle opener, assuming that this tool, habitually carried on the bike, would handle things.
We have found, over he years, though painful experience, that "bargain" tools often fail to deliver. And once again, this was the case. The Fuzz found that the bottle opener on this nifty little thing was useless for opening a bottle. It simply would not fit over the cap. But there was a happy ending to this. That ever resourceful Fuzz, was able to use the knife blade and pry the cap up enough to finally get a bite with that thing, thus averting disaster.
Later, we will reveal how The Fuzz finally made his way to his next destination. (Circled on the Map)
