I am coming in Thursday nite with a bunch of wild west guys from Colorado and one from Wyoming or Idaho? Friday,I plan a run down 28 to Frankklin to see a friend who is building a new house in the mountains near Rainbow Springs off of US 64 and the Natahala river.

It is about 45 miles each way. This guy is local and can give us some ideas on roads and routes we may niot have, as yet, tried. Assuming no one gets arrested, we can easily be back at the Lodge mid afternoon before the rest of the outlaws gets in.

Anyone looking for a fun run on 28 and a lunch in the Natahala valley is welcome to join me.
