Friday: Departure and Arrival
Arrived at Gary's place Friday moring at 8:00am. The ride was ready. All cleaned up and ready to go. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...4bc3e722d3.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...53cc9e16ba.jpg No wonder they call him Mr. Clean. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...064b408008.jpg After fueling up the ride, we were on our way to the dragon. Red Bull! It will start your morning right! I loved the intuitive cup holder in Caymen. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...ef4063fb77.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...4fb0afc1ec.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...c32d409dbe.jpg We left nearly two hours later than Cincy group. Yet we caught up with them about two hours into the trip. It sure was nice to see bunch of S2000s caravaning in spirited pace. Again, I missed having my own. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...0b5553c35c.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...9fb8369ab1.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...02614b1423.jpg |

In all seriousness, good pics, and it looks like most all had a real good time. |
Day 2: WAKING THE DRAGON!
Cool cars!!! https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...aa5a21c05d.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...e2c6c4a6d6.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...55c5380d3f.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...12addbc1e3.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...48b4c93875.jpg The air was cool and the road was dry. "Perfect day for a drive" I thought. We were all wondering how soon the storm was going to ruine the party. We didn't care. James(Jimablius) and Dustin from Mobil, AL joined our morning run. As we suspected, The Dragon was all to ourselves 7:30 in the morning. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...60a461e305.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...f9269d12ea.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...1597fb205c.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...9ec4ff495c.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...ac3451ea37.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...abc3c62bd0.jpg We met up with local BMW enthusiasts group. Later they told us about the new routes that we've never explored before. We decided to join the group that morning. Before the run, we ran over to Tapoco Lodge where they stayed and met up with rest of the group. There we saw some wicked BMWs. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...5294e60744.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...56ed6852e1.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...abeca6c7dd.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...3cb4c02b90.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...f6a15d3875.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...d9b5b6c643.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...229ede8b21.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...56c12a6502.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...bfebde38c7.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...f2179dfb12.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...efd80d82b3.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...c26cf10e77.jpg After the breakfast at the Tapoco Lodge, we were led to this new route by Matt who drove 1999 C2 which had over 120k miles and it was his daily driver. Well, he drove it like it was stolen. Amazing. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...504fa3c733.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...ada147d13c.jpg More refueling https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...8920116ffe.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...d867a01fbb.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...f018a744e2.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...5475f38c6b.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...acb1a962e7.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...7718402d5f.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...7f5a53d50c.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...3cae0a5f14.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...ff4e0286de.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...953bdb5ac2.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...987945b071.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...a43ce3373d.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...d5c8c8b671.jpg Cherahola Skyway! https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...409050390b.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...aff27dd526.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...1eae99ec96.jpg It started to rain as we were heading back to The Dragon. Little did I know, it turned into a little Porsche Run. C2 leading the way, Gary never missed a beat. By this time, I started to really appreciate the GT3 seat in Gary's Caymen S. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...e76b501472.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...f1d6ae7630.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...53a1c67f0d.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...1f48c6c3f1.jpg We said our thanks to the BMW group and headed back to the Fontana Village. The rain coming down hard and luckly we made it back safe. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...aeb2ee1473.jpg |
nice pics!

Back to Columbus...
James and Dustin had to stay in our room since they didn't have any power in their cabin. We were up by 7am and hit the road by 8am. Again the trip was fun and safe for the most part. Honestly, I can't remember when I had this much fun as a pessanger. I am looking forward to drive again in the Fall. Perhaps, I will drive my Volvo through The Dragon! BTW, now I know why call it Smoky Moutain. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...1222722fd5.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...0b837964e5.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...70270cbfd3.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...a777b422db.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...56f361fcdb.jpg :hello: |
