Pacemaker was kind enough to offer to run an Easter service for anyone interested. After that I thought it might be great to head over to Bryson City and have lunch at the Burger Basket. Nick, Dan, Troy, Jane and myself ate there a few years ago after white water rafting. They have really good food and you can eat it over looking the river. Its really a nice run there too. At that point there options to hit the Cherohala, the Dragon, etc. I don't think that we would have any problem getting Gary back in time to head back to Chicago. The option would also be there to do some gem-mining in Bryson City or horseback riding back at the Lodge that day. Does this sound like a good plan? BTW, the Burger Basket has a "Dragon Burger" that will make your tongue slap your brains out!!!
