2017 Tail of the Dragon & Cherohala Skyway run
Coming up on time for the annual Tail of the Dragon / Cherohala Skyway run!
We'd generally decided on the 3rd Saturday of September, but several folks from the Charlotte and Raleigh groups have already said they can’t make it that day, and/or would rather take a day off and go up on a weekday to avoid some of the traffic. Who's in? When would you rather go? Thursday, September 21st ORSaturday, September 23rd We're polling the groups and regular attendees separately. We'll go with whatever the majority wants. |
Damn !! Talk about bad timing ! Deep So. Cobra Club cruise Sept 24,15,16. Meeting @ Dillard Ga. Have done the Cherohala, wil be doing part of the Moonshiner 28, but no T.O.D.
I'll be trailering up from mid Fl. I'll have to think about this !!! |

Any concensus on the date ? Is this a day trip for your group, or will you be overnighting?

Some of the Raleigh group usually stays overnight at the Asheville exit the night before. At least two or three of us normally stay overnight in Robbinsville the day of... and then do some fun, light driving on Sunday before heading home. At least 2 of us so far have confirmed planning to stay over Saturday night in Robbinsville. |
Larry: DSCC cruise is the weekend prior, but we will be traveling further north the following week and may be back in the area for the 23rd. If you don't mind, PM me a contact phone # for your group. We'll hook up with you if possible.
Thanks, Ted |

I have been reading the thread and was hoping the 21st was going to be the day. My weekends are now consumed with traveling soccer games with my boys. But, a day trip to the mountains is something that I could make happen. I will keep watching out for a weekday road trip. I hope you guys have great weather and light traffic. Jamie |

Looks like a good forecast for Saturday. Just a couple of updates & reminders:
1. We’ll have several cobra enthusiasts coming in non-cobras. Simply for the purpose of photos (not exclusion!), please try to stage the cobras together. 2. We’ll try to leave Fontana Dam a little earlier than usual this year (around 11:45-12:00) so we can stop at the Deal’s Gap store for t-shirts / souvenirs before running the Dragon. 3. Once we’ve run the Dragon northbound, we’ll stage at the paved pull-off on the right. Whoever gets there first: just park diagonally to the road and everyone else can stage in a row / two rows (depending on how many show up) following your lead. 4. We’ll confirm at the pull-off who will be running the dragon again southbound, who’s going to continue north and loop around to Tellico for lunch at Kat’s Deli, who’s doing something else… and stage any different groups from there accordingly to avoid any past confusion. 5. Biggest thing to remember is to be responsible for the car behind you. This will set the pace and ensure everyone makes it to where we’re going safely. Let’s have some fun! |
