See you there Super Dave
This is a Friday drive- think Fridays for Franklin, and Wayah, and Cherohola, and 315, etc etc. Aggressive pace. Typical is 0-5 over posted limit in residential areas and fast enough to keep out of the way of the car behind everywhere else- mostly like this.

Saturday drive is posted elsewhere.
see you then Dave.

I change my mind as much as you change your mounts. Wait that doesn't sound right.

It will be awesome to see you there too Bama. This is similar to my plan. I am thinking of driving to Marion to meet up with the Canadian crew Wed as well. I'll look for a room nearby as I heard its all sold out where you all are staying. Or I could crash on the floor with my sleeping bag too....let's see. It all depends on if I can leave work a little early Wednesday. Excited!

Boy do my Canadian friends know how to put together a route. Driving each route as if it could be the last. Some say that's the way one should live life. I may have to jump in on this one as well, depending on Ladyship's plans for Friday.

Darcy. Since we will be starting Friday from much further south than you (Toccoa), its unlikely we will do more than cross paths. Available time is going to dictate whether we finish up on Cherohalo and 129 or 360 which is faster and includes the Dragon

as always, keep trying channel 4. we might pick up each other as we pass nearby.
