Not quite the way it all happened, starting with the route!

unlike past drives when Ken has had to remind me, I called ahead to Tellico Grains and they are looking forward to seeing us on Saturday.

Phill.....

Thanks for leading this drive....

Was great being able to be part of a drive, and not lead it!!!!

And I like your moderate (cough, cough) pace!!

For some reason I always forget this road. Next summer I'll have to make sure to get up there again.

Phill had to go at a slow pace so us older folks could keep up with him!

Phil always does a great job of this drive, perfect pace and all the right stops. Tellico Grains makes some amazing pizza too.

I think, in 10 years of going to the Dragon, I've driven the skyway maybe 5 times. Unfortunately, two times involved getting stopped because a bike went off, and once it snowed.

In the summer, I'm hoping to avoid snow
