The Cherohala Run

I took pizzaguy's proposed Cherohala Run route for the Spring Dragon GTG and created another version with gas stops, scenic venues, and lunch (Tellicafe) for folks to use. Map shows driving times for segments and overall trip. Really a nice route to enjoy the roadways and see a couple of scenic venues. I used driving speeds that I thought were applicable to the various roadways. It's attached to this post.

Thanks, but not necessary to credit me. I like creating these & saving for future use. I've got quite a few!

Later,

1) Read the link REDDOG gave you.

2) Go to Walmart (or Radio Shack or somewhere) and get two FRS radios.
(Similar to these: Motorola Talkabout MH230R Two Way Radios ) DO NOT buy from eBay or other online sellers as you may end up with illegal and unusable radios with non-USA channels.

3) Try to show up on Thursday (Some of us get there on Thursday - Friday before about 2pm, the traffic is very light and we always have a good time - there will be a formal tour on Friday morning and probably 1 or 2 other route options as well.)

Thanks Dee, We are getting excited about the trip already. We are flying into Atlanta a few days before the Dragon weekend and staying a few days after.

Well if you get a Camero SS you may not need my wheels- yet the offer still stands -- hehe!
I had Z 28, it would not have done well on the Dragon, but then again, its more about the driver....my pals will attest >> I GOT A LOT TO LEARN..... I got lost after getting lost (ha!)... yet Mark waited for this newbee chick.... like he said he would....that made all the difference.....

So looking forward to meeting you and your wife! Atlanta is a blast- glad you get to stay longer before and after! Count down to Dragon time! Yowza...... cheers, Dee (deezfire)

Hey Gary and Mark- I actually got right to this post and used quote and felt no anxiety-
ROFL OVER AND OVER AND OVER

I have booked a Camaro :-) but it would be rather rude not to drive The Dragon in a Crossfire after traveling so far lol, so will be taking you up on your very kind offer :-)

PLEASE NOTE, everyone:

The commitee (well, Dee, really) is preparing attendee packages that will be handed out at registration - but we'd like to send electronic copies as soon as they are ready, via email. With that thought in mind, please send your email address to: deenfof25@gmail.com as soon as you can!

If you have not reserved a room or committed to attending, you are welcome to send your email and get on the list anyway.
