Default RTD 2019 - Happy Ray of Friggin' Sunshine Drive

RTD 2019 Friday Drive - Updated with new restaurant!!!

Join us for a drive down to Adair Brothers Smokehouse (BBQ!) Randevu Restaurant, 18 Chestnut Square in Cashiers, then after lunch the twisties really start! We'll end up in Waynesville for a little shopping (if you have never been to a Mast General Store, it is a treat!). The curvy roads end here so if you don't wish to shop, simply Google Map your way back to Fontana Village.

Meet up for Group #1 is at the Wildwood Grill at 9:15 a.m., lunch will be about 2:20 hours later (keep that in mind when eating breakfast)!

Total driving time is 5:36 hours, 217 miles.

Let me know if you plan on going, so we can determine if we need to add another group. Groups will be closed at 10 cars.

If you are not an experienced driver, or are uncomfortable with a spirited drive, group 1 is not for you.

Group 1 - Leaving Wildwood Grill at 9:15 sharp. 10 car limit!! Group 1 is full!

1. Lovetodrive2000 - Mike & Kathy
2. Looter - Denny & Sharon
3. Scooterboy - David & Patty
4. tr6greg - Greg
5. Hiro
6. Driveaholic - Bob
7. nnucci16032 - Nick
8. Hecash
9. Vortamock
10. JoePhotographer - Jamie

Wouldn't let me do the short version! lol

In case you are interested, here is the route we are taking. I would strongly suggest that prior to the drive, copy the link and have the route available on your phone for the drive.
