Default SatG Friday Drive to Franklin, NC

I am going to drive up to Bridal Falls Friday morning for some pics and to check out the gorge on the way to the Falls. After that we will head to Caffe Rel for lunch "Lamb Burger". After we get finished there, we will head back to FV on WR. Something different to do up there. Later DB

BD, be sure and check with the NCDOT site in early September to make sure Hwy 28 from Franklin to Highlands is open before you try to get to Bridal Veil Falls. It's currently closed for construction (11 mile detour via Buck Creek Rd). They are SUPPOSED to be finished by mid-August but you know how that sometimes goes....
