Also I have an easy route planned for anyone wishing to join us on Saturday. Not sure where this is being discussed here.

-Leave Fontana Dam Area after pics
-Drive the Cherohala Skyway via Robinsville
-Arrive at Tellico Plains, TN. (2 hours trip)
-Eat lunch at Tellicafe
-Back track to the Cherohala Skyway
-Detour to River Road to visit Bald River Falls
-Return to Fontana Dam in time for dinner

This is a great run for first timers to see the area and enjoy an easy ride. This will not be an aggressive run but not slow either. I know many here have already seen these places but it is my son's first time and a very enjoyable ride.

Thanks, James
That is a nice run James
I'm probably doing the Cherohala full loop
Your same route stopping at Bald river falls first
Then the Tellicafe and then on 360 north to Venore onto 411 to 72 back the US129 retuning through the Dragon
We can leave at different times and hopefully remain separated
If we do end up running together we can take scenic overlooks to spilt up again
I hope you don't mind that I was planning the Cherohala on Saturday
It's the only run I know well enough to not make a wrong turn
