Default DFR 2013 Cherohala Skyway Drive

After the monster roll out and group photo shots, I will be leading a drive for lunch @ Tellico Grains and then onto the Cherohala Skyway. Plans are to gas up at a gas station in town after we leave the Dragon. From there, head out to Tellico Plains to eat lunch and relax, then go hit the Skyway. Tellico Grains was really good in the spring

Tellico Grains website (yum!)


We will make at least two stops at the scenic overlooks at the beginning of the skyway and again towards the end. Also, a follow up fuel stop will be made at the Gas station at the end of the skyway and route 129. This is a great location as there's plenty of parking to regroup, they do have a neat store with skyway/dragon decals and other assorted goodies. Then we will head back up 129 where you will have the option of hitting the Dragon again, or taking Hellbender back to Fontana.

Anyone in? Please post up if you are, as i'd like to give Tellico Grains a headcount for lunch. Even if you are just joining us for lunch only, and returning with Ken to Fontana post up "lunch only". Thanks!!

I can practically guarantee you'll be up in plenty of time.
