I know it is a way off yet, but here is what Tammi and I plan to do for Saturday, and anyone that wants to join is welcome. It will be a take-your-time drive and enjoy the scenery. Since the Cherohala Skyway is our favorite part, we will double back over it after eating lunch in Tellico Plains. We do need some suggestions for eateries that have parking for everyone.

On the way back, we can stop at Bald River Falls just outside of Tellico Plains for those that have not been there yet. Cherokee National Forest - Bald River Falls It is worth stopping even if you have been before.

Also we plan to stop at the Joyce Kilmer National Forest before getting back to the lodge. It is two mile walk from the parking lot but sounds really interesting. More info here: National Forests in North Carolina - Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest

This route does NOT include the Dragon. Once in and once out is enough for one weekend for the other passenger in my car!

See the attached map if you are interested. Times and distance are printed on the map.


PS Gary move this where you see fit.
