Smile Devil's Triangle Thursday April 27- Canadian content

I'll be stopping for a late lunch/early dinner at the Coal Creek Smokehouse in Rocky Top, TN. Should arrive about 2 pm or so.

Here is the route from there.

If you'd like to join the mayhem, then post here so I can tell them how many to expect. i'll post up adjustments to the schedule in the week prior to the event. There are going to be 2 of us Canucks- I've done this route numerous times and my buddy Ted will be a rookie so I'll try to keep the speeds…um…relatively …oh who am I kidding.

I joined Darcy last September. It was my first time through the triangle and it was a great experience. Those switchbacks are both unique and challenging. If your having lunch in TN, it's a short drive north to meet him.

Mind if a NY Metro member crashes the party? Lol.

I'm driving down from NY Wednesday afternoon and most likely staying overnight in Roanake, VA Wednesday night.

I could meet you for the luncheon and the subsequent drive through devil's triangle. It sounds like a great time!

PS - I'm also planning on doing the Pitch Black Drive later that evening as well.

Darcy, are you going to be in Marion, VA on Wednesday night? If so, what is your itinerary Thursday? I may just head out with you guys and do this white knuckle drive but I'll be in the back.
