Smokies in November...?

[Mickey Richaud]

Janet and I are planning on being in E. Tennessee for part of November. Any interest in an informal gathering of BCF folks then? Anyone able to get away to take in some fall color?

 

[DNK]

What part Mick?

 

[Mickey Richaud]

Pretty much anywhere near the Nat'l Park.

Mickey....the V8 crew is planning an informal gathering in Townsend the weekend of October 5-6. Contact Dan Masters for additional information.

 

[Mickey Richaud]

Thanks, Rick. Kelly sent me a note about that. I hope to be there for at least part of that.

I'll take a rain check on this one,Mickey.I'll be heading "down under" around then.

I assume you mean to be anywhere BUT Pigeon Forge. I could see a fall trip down that way. What is this British V-8 thing of which you speak?? Didn't lots of British cars have these sweet little hemi's in them like in my SP??

 

[Mickey Richaud]

Yeah, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg - VERY crowded!

But plenty of places in and around the Nat'l Park to hook up.

We've talked about BCF gatherings in the past, but it's never happened. If there's enough interest, I'd be glad to work something up.

 

[Mickey Richaud]

A little incentive:

Tempting Micky, tempting!
It's a 10+ hour drive for me but it would be cool to go.

 

[DART]

If you decide to go Elliot, we might hook up on the way down south. Just a thought.

 

[Gliderman8]

I will certainly keep that in mind... thanks!

 

[Mickey Richaud]

Let's keep the discussion going. At some point, we'll exchange contact info and get serious, if there's enough interest. Think first two weeks of November...

 

[DART]

Timing sounds right. We're looking at -maybe- a couple or 3 nights at Biltmore. Been on our bucket list & we missed it on our cross country trip return because of time pressures. Like you say, let's see what developes.

 

[Mickey Richaud]

Biltmore's an easy drive from the Park.

And the Tail of the Dragon is right there, too!

And the Tail of the Dragon is right there, too!

Is that like the hair of the dog Mickey?

Of course you guys would want to do this durring cruisin' the coast.

Could be...

Don't know nuttin' 'bout no cruisin' the coast. The fall is the best time to be in the Smokies.

While there are MANY fun roads to experience in the area, the Tail is probably the most publicized.
