How far is this from Charlotte and how fast will we be driving on "The Drive"? I have company this weekend, but would like to sneak out if this isn't too far.

Not to worry about driving too FAST.

HOTRODS2000 is going. He drives slower than my grandmother.

I mean, is it The Zoo Run fast, or The Dragon fast? I've got a couple short term problems that make me want to not drive too fast, both with the car and health wise.

Also, how long to get back to Charlotte? I'd have to be back in time to do dinner with my visiting In-laws.

Dave,
It will take you about 1-1/2 hours to King, NC

Lunch is at 12:30 pm
Drive starts at 2:00 pm
Drive ends at Chateau Morrisette about 3:30 - 3:45 pm
It will take you about 2-1/2 hours drive back to Charlotte

Hope you can make it.
