Default Cherohala Drive Saturday, April 13th

Willing to lead a group drive after the monster roll out on Saturday. If we are having the group photo as usual, we will head over to the gas station we used last year and top off. Idk if anyone has seen conditions on the Skyway since the land slide. So we will have to keep that in mind. This will be a spirited drive.

I will humbly be requesting assistance with the routing since this is just my second trip to the area.

Who's in?

You can follow me to Nut-N-Fancy for the lunch run (if Nut-N-Fancy is open) and then leave from there. It's a straight shot from Tellico Plains.

I'm sure most of the Metro crew will be rolling together on this one.

I plan on driving this route on Sat, but less spirited. Think "friends and family" drive...

[attachment=36339:Cherohala Run April 2012.pdf]

Here is the routing that I've used when I lead the Cherohala Drive...

It includes a stop at Bald River Falls (watch for a brown sign about 1 mile out of Tellico Plains - I've missed the turn a couple of times!)....

This includes the stop for the place we ate last year. I'll post a minor revision that leads to Nut-n-Fancy.
