Dragon 2005 Wishlist
Cherohala Drive
FWIW, when we were down in October, the Dragon was very full of leaf watchers(will not be a problem in May), so a few friends and I took a ride down thru Robbinsville and got on the Cherohala (SP) Skyway, It is up through the mountains up to 6000' , beautiful drive, not as tight or crowded as the dragon, lots of scenic overlooks for pictures, and at the end there is a side road that takes you back to "somename" waterfalls, again another great pix place. Then we continued west to Telico Plains, and found a really neat restaurant I believe it was called the Bistro, which is right on the River and had a great outdoor riverside lunch. then on west and took a shortcut back to the beginning west end of the Dragon. I guess it would be about 1/2 day with lunch, depending on how many pix breaks we took, not that many miles. Anyway, if it is of interest, I would be happy to arrange the tour. if enuff interest, we can pull this off to a separate topic and have the event planners tell us which day it would be the best to do it??

Saturday would probably work best since there's two drives on Friday.
OK I will start a new thread, go there and sign up and I will put together the details,
Looks like Saturday Morning
OK this has become an event for Saturday Morning /lunch, and loops back to the Dragon see the events guide and register and details there

One designed to provoke impudence and imprudence and to go well with bluegrass music.
And if you don't like bluegrass music, just drink another one and it will sound better.
