Only as a byproduct of getting to where ever it is they're trying to go.

If you get up early enough Thursday morning to meet us in Helen before we leave, yes.
Thursday will find us doing 6 Gaps, (which is where Blood Mountain is) before we leave the area to do hwy 60, Ocoee loop and eventually up to the Dragon.

That's good to know but I was planning on skirting the Diamond back this year anyway.
1. I have done it twice already
2. Last year we drove it in the rain and the Tar Snakes made me decide, until it was repaved, I would not be back.

Now I know we can put it back on the list for 2015.
