Default Thursday Drive to Meet OKI Group, Dinner, Drive

I'll be leading a somewhat spirited drive to Maryville, TN on Thursday. We'll leave MicroTel in Robbinsville around 1:00pm and drive the Dragon to Foothills Parkway or Happy Valley Road. We'll take one of those routes to Maryville, where we'll meet the OKI caravan. We'll then drive to Gatlinburg and have dinner at Park Grill. After dinner, we'll drive Foothills Parkway to the Tennessee side of the Dragon. We'll divide into two groups (Spirited and Newbie) and drive the Dragon at night. If you'd like to come along on this great adventure, just post. This drive is open to anyone who likes the Dragon, good food and great friends.

A group of us will be leaving the MicroTel around 1:00pm. We'll be at Tapoco around 1:15pm and then well leave from there at 1:30. Please be ready.

How's the road that goes between Gatlinburg and Cherokee (that you take to Clingman's Dome)? Fun? Too much traffic? Too slow?

Very scenic Mike !!! The road is 441.....We have driven it many times...but the traffic on it is very congested !!!! Not good for a group drive.
