Thanks. Guess my glass is half full.
Anyway, I'll wait till next Wednesday and get a much more accurate forecast.

She LOVES the twisties as much as I do and is a great navigator, radio person, eye candy
Yes John you are very lucky too. I had that combination as a navigator for a road ralley at the Euro Auto Fest. A friends daughter 25 and blonde. She did a very good job of keeping track of the road markers and finding the next turns. Christine really enjoyed the pace through the mountain roads. She would giggle when the back tires broke loose in the turns. The Crossfire is now her favorite car. Sadly we are not allowed to play together any more.

I am coming in Thursday nite with a bunch of wild west guys from Colorado and one from Wyoming or Idaho? Friday,I plan a run down 28 to Frankklin to see a friend who is building a new house in the mountains near Rainbow Springs off of US 64 and the Natahala river.

It is about 45 miles each way. This guy is local and can give us some ideas on roads and routes we may niot have, as yet, tried. Assuming no one gets arrested, we can easily be back at the Lodge mid afternoon before the rest of the outlaws gets in.

Anyone looking for a fun run on 28 and a lunch in the Natahala valley is welcome to join me.

That will probably be me, Franc. But I thought you were making that run Saturday evening - in any case, Friday sounds better.

Hey, as long as we don't get 12" of rain within a few days, I think we will be ok.

Anybody want to see and hear the El Cheapo OBX Racing catback ( The Chinese Borla ), look me up at the Dragon.
Coming in Thursday afternoon in the pizzaguy convoy, leaving Sunday AM.
Red NA Roadster with Alabama Handicap tag.

For Friday, I'll want to end up close to the Knoxville airport by mid afternoon. I picked up a rental car for my wife (dirt cheap) so that she can go and take photos for most of the weekend. I'd love to drive to Gatlinburg on Friday morning maybe hit half of the park as well.

Our departure time depends on Jim and Eisley.

I would think a lot of the guys are interested in looking at your backside. Of your beautiful red roadter of course.

Add my name to the list of those that hope to be there.
The problem is I am a photographer and have an art show that Friday
night in Knoxville. So I cannot head out until Saturday morning.

I have known the Dragon (in the full biblical way) and the Skyway.
My hope is to meet up with a group as they pass some intersecting highway.
Heading to Fontana would call for a bunch of backtracking with the Dragon
just 100 miles or so from front door.

A PM would be greatly appreciated if someone has an idea on how this can happen.
