Default Saturday Drive - Farmhouse restaurant

OK.... going for a little drive after the Monster Rollout Saturday.

Will be heading over to the Farmhouse Restaurant in Etowah, TN.... looks like it gets pretty good reviews for its home cooking! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Farmh...57?sk=timeline

Its about 1:15 hour drive from the gravel lot, so I figure we will get there 11:15-11:30.

The drive after lunch will be 3-4.5 hours depending on number of stops we make.

I've attached a map plus directions so you can see the route we will be taking.



Let me know if you plan on attending, so I can warn the restaurant how many crazies will be showing up!

We did this run in the spring (link below) and you put some excellent roads on it.

315 out of tellico plains is properly excellent.

I can't tell from the map, but do also look for Candy Mountain Road- unless you need to see the Field of the Woods on 294- which is right near the Hiawassee Dam area and quite memorable.
