Thursday night pitch black drive down the cherohola (to the highest point) leaving from Fontana. we'll head up 28 to deal's gap then down 29. typically gas up at the entrance to the cherohola.

There are 4 interested already. anyone is free to join us. leaving about 9 pm from the wash station at fontana. back around midnight maybe.

I would be interested in joining but it depends on when the Cincy Caravan group makes it to Fontana. If we are there in time and the weather is nice, I'd like to do it. If I go you can probably count on my friend with the STi to join as well. Not a definitive answer but the best I can do right now.

It would be appreciated if you start a thread for this drive....

I'm assuming that you are leading this drive?

Darcy, it's Cherohala and Rt. 129 (and away from the Dragon, I assume). If you go that way, you can get gas at the station just before the turn to Cherohala.

Knowing Darcy, he likely found a road called 29.
