ROUTE CHANGE 10/18/2012

Since Waynesville will be packed with Apple Fest attendees, the route has been altered a bit. Meeting place is the same but lunch has changed to the Nick & Nate's Pizza in SYLVA

Here is the new route:

[*]MEETING POINT: Asheville NC at Bent Creek Baptist Church on Brevard Rd (exit 33 off I-26) There is a nice, long stretch of "parking lot" at this location
[*]Begin the Drive along the Blue Ridge Pky all the way to junction of US23/Great Smoky Mtns Expy. Take US23 approx. 10 miles to Sylva.
approx. 60 miles, 2 hours
[*]Lunch in Sylva at Nick & Nate's Pizzaria
approx. 1.5 hrs
[*]Take 107 to Cashiers then 64 to Lake Toxaway area.
approx. 40 miles, 1.25 hrs
[*]Continue on 64. North on 215/Parkway headed to Canton, NC. 215 becomes 110.
approx. 50 miles, 1.5 hours
[*]END POINT in Canton. Be safe driving home.

I plan to leave Seymour around 8:00am and meet other area teeners along the way. I will be driving 411 to Sevierville and Newport; 70/25 to Hot Springs; 209 to 63 to Asheville; and 19/23/74 to 112 to the meeting point.

Still 4.5 to 5 hours of DRIVING (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I tightened up the exhaust at the heads, cleaned out the interior and did a quick wash of the exterior (gonna need a whole lot more than soap and water to make mine look good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) )
Will fill up with gas and buy a couple quarts of oil in the morning. Gas here in east TN dropped 15c per gallon today at $3.249 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I am leaving Seymour around 8am. Driving thru Sevierville to meet up with Haudiosolutions and then on to Newport to meet up with Gary from Nashville. Any Knoxville teeners wanna meet up somewhere along the way? Plan on driving 70/25 to Hot Springs; 209 to 63 to Asheville; and 19/23/74 to 112 to the meeting point.

Be safe!

Last minute change in my route to the meeting point in Asheville... not going thru Hot Springs as it will take too long. From Newport, I-40 to destination just off of I-26 near Blue Ridge Parkway entry point.

See ya there!

While the change in route & lunch to Sylva due to the apple festival was a good idea, it messed up my plans to join all y'all for lunch at Nate's pizza. The Waynesville one was in the midst of that festival zoo, so Steve was right on to move it to Sylva.

Sorry to have missed a fellow old timer teener - Jawjaw914 - & the rest of you, since we were seeing our kids' "new" house late morning/noon in Candler, & couldn't get out to Sylva in time.

My wife & I spent the afternoon at that zoo in Waynesville, then met up with Steve/poorsche914 in Canton & visited for a bit in a parking lot. So it was nice for me from SoCal to meet up with a fellow Teener in NC while we're here in Asheville to visit our daughter & son-in-law etc.

We also met up with Andy/Scarlet75 earlier this week up in Watertown NY while we were visiting our son at Ft. Drum.

So touched base with a couple of other Teeners on this trip! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Cheers Y'all! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I just now made it home after a ~350 mile round trip. It was nice meeting other teeners - Terry, Ronnie, Doug, Peter, Gary and his wife, and Tom and his wife. (already knew Derrick (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ) Nine of us at lunch representing six 914s.
The drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway was really nice - such awesome views! After lunch, some of the group had to head home so it was just Doug, Ronnie and me driving down 107 to 281 to 64. Stopped for gas and went our separate ways as Doug's 914 developed a miss and he decided to head home. Ronnie was going to turn back toward Atlanta anyway at this point. So that left me headed north on 215 - wow, what a great drive! Wish the others could have made it.
Only used about a quart and a half of oil (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
These cars hummmmm at 70+ mph (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

If you are in the area, join us for the Spring drive... I plan on putting together a Waterfall Tour. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

A big shout out to Steve aka Poorsche914, who organized Smoky Mountain Day Drive. The weather was awesome and it was great to meet other teener owners who share the same passion. I have not seen that many teeners in one place in a long time.

Signed on tonight for one reason only - hoping to find pictures of the drive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Hate that I couldn't make it. I couldn't get her down off the jack stands - she's just so comfortable...

If I start preparing now, I might be ready for a spring drive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Nice pictures! Let's see more...

Well I made it home safely with only a few issues. I tried to give my car an Italian tune up on the way home but that didn't fix my problem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Thanks to those that came out today. It was a great time!
