Default Fridays are for Franklin

Fridays are for Franklin Drive

Join us for a semi-spirited drive down Rt 28 (and a few added side roads - see attached pdf) to Franklin, with lunch at Caffe Rel. Returning to Fontana via Wayah Road.

Meet up at the Wildwood Grill at 9:45, leaving promptly at 10:00.

This should allow us to get to Cafe Rel (limited seating and only takes cash!) around 11:30-11:50 and hopefully beat the lunch rush.

Let me know if you plan on going, so we can determine if we need to add another group.

Group 1 (pace will be semi spirited)

1. Lovetodrive2000 - Mike & Kathy
2. Looter - Denny & Sharon
3. Scooterboy - David & Patty
4. kgf3076 - Ken
5. tr6greg - Greg
6. batguano - Lee & Linda
7. joephotographer - Jamie
8. Shedrivesit - Mark & Mary
9. Y4angel - Yang
10. AaronCompNetSys - Aaron & Lisa

Total cars 10 / people 13

If you want the route, copy and paste from below.... deleting the " at the beginning and the end.
