Enjoy the accommodations at the Fontana Village Resort in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina.
Enjoy meeting other members and experience some incredible driving in groups around the Smokey Mountains.
This get-together (GTG) is for drivers of all skill levels and driving interests.
Route leaders will be taking individual groups on daily routes that vary from a relaxing drive in the mountains, to those that might make some passengers (and even DRIVERS) hold on tight.

Thurs-Mon

Please private message me some feedback on run looking to do with Diana this year - early so we can make changes. Dont have to stop at all these places (GPS routing points). Picnic lunch along way ...
Fontana Dam to Sunburst Falls via 215 .... hop on Blue Ridge Pwky to Graveyard Fields-Looking Glass Rock Overlook - Log Hollow Overlook- pick up 276 Looking Glass Falls (stop for sure) - head north 276 to Soco Falls (?) and either hop on Blue Ridge again or take 19 to Casino/SPA then head back (will be getting dark).
A little long and can easily be shortened by skipping some or re-routing. Hoping for some feedback from Spring as well.
