DFR 2016 Drive: Cherohala Skyway
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 is great.

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.
total drive time is approx. 4 hours including lunch.

I might recommend an excellent route from Tellico plains taking 315 down and around and back to Tellico Plains.

All those roads darcyw have shown you Phil are great roads to drive on. Do it man. Sorry but I have already decided what I'm doing after the roll out. Enjoy. Can't wait to see you man. Way too long man.
