Anyone interested?
I'm looking at ~250 mile run from ATL-Tellico (brief gas stop)-Cherohala-Joyce Kilmer-Deals Gap. Break there for an hour to accommodate folks who want to run the Dragon, then 28 past Fontana to Franklin, which is about another hour. Some may choose to ride ahead to the dam (20 minutes further down the road), then join up when the rest catch up to head to Franklin. From there, you're on your own, but I'm probably going to take the slow road to Highlands, stopping at a couple of waterfalls, and spend the night there. Some mighty good eating in Highlands, also. (Are you starting to understand - I live to eat?)
I think hitting 575 near Town Center (Kennesaw) around 6am will put us in Franklin around 2-3. For folks from other parts, I'd calculate when we'd be in Tellico & Deals Gap to meet up, or you could simply find your own way to Franklin for lunch.
If you don't know, this place is one of the best restaurants on the planet. I'm not kidding. And it's attached to a gas station - you have to go into their store to use a bathroom. Inside, however, you could be on the streets of Paris. Cash only. Amazing food. Reasonable prices.
Am I doing this right? Date preferences?
