Ok, I'm headed out Thursday maybe noon or so from Atlanta. I think we have a guy leaving the area Friday morning. I made this thread as an attempt to "convoy" up to Fontana - not only for ME to lead a group, but for others in the four state region to do so as well.


EDIT 8-6-12: I'm planning on leaving home (Cumming, Georgia - GA400 Exit 14 about 20 miles north of I-285) about noon. Route will be up 400 to it's end, then left on GA60. We take GA60 thru Dahlonega, over Blood Mountain, on to Suches GA then all the way to Mineral Bluff, GA. (Thanks to BK from Gencoupes for mentioning this route!) We turn left at Mineral Bluff then follow "GA60 Spur" across the line into North Carolina and into Murphy, where we take US129 all the way to Deal's gap!

The almost-40-miles from Dahlonega to Mineral Bluff is mostly curves and takes us up over Blood Mountain and past "Woody Gap" and thru a LOT of beautiful scenery.

NOTE: 100% PREMIUM gas is available in Suches, GA, as well as Deal's Gap (sometimes limited to 8 gallons, but the station towards Robbinsville is 100% with no limit).
