On Saturday morning I will be going over to the Wheels Through time: Museum in Maggie Valley ,this would take us to Bryson City, Cherokee North Carolina where we will have lunch, with a scenic drive on the Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway, then will peel off on 19 down to Maggie Valley to see the museum if we can get enough people to go I can get a group rate of $10 per person, then we'll follow 19 back to Bryson City with a stop at a microbrewery in Bryson for a quick beverage lol, then head back to Fontana, this is something different for those of you that have done all the roads around Fontana, let me know if you'd like to join me , See Ya soon at the Dragon

Hey Jim, and any others that are interested: I will meet up with you and Karen at the resturant on Thursday evening. Then on Friday morning we will be back to your hotel to leave for Fontana around 8. Earlier if you prefer, let us know. Glad to hear you are making the trip. Also we may be interested in the trip with Ray as well.

Don't forget the FRS Radios!

James

We need more ideas like this one!


Ok, you are the leader - meanwhile, I will probably offer to lead a Skyway Group (or take up the tail end of one) on Saturday. I really like that run.

Ray,
Thanks for the arrangements here.
Count me in for the day with this plan.
Sounds like a nice way to spend the day and still enjoy the scenic roads driving in the NC mountains along the way.
__________________________________________________ _____

Then on Saturday at sunset I plan to join John and Molly (
BoilerUpXFire) for a sunset boat cruise on Fontana lake
Anyone else want to join us ??

Well, since Valky wants to go and he is riding shotgun on my NA roadster, I would like to go as well. Sounds like a good time well spent in the area.

Put my name on the list Ray,,,,

Gary we are all set.
