Atlanta Caravan to B3R 2012
 

THIS MAY CHANGE, SO BE SURE TO READ THE LAST PAGE OF POSTS BEFORE LEAVING FOR THE CARAVAN
Looks like there will be a caravan of 6 or more rotaries from Atlanta on Saturday morning. Here is the plan repeated from last 2 years.

8:00AM Leave Twisted Tavern( I-85N, Exit 111) parking lot - be sure to arrive with your gas tank topped off and ready to leave by 8:00AM
Stop at Commerce exit off of I-85N for Brett and Ray to join the caravan. ONLY a quick stop, should arrive approximately 8:40AM
Drive up I-85North into SC
Exit 1 - Turn Left onto SC 11 ( Cherokee Foothills Scenic Hwy. for 47 miles
Turn Left onto US 178W for 15 miles into NC
Turn Right follow US 178N into Rosman
Turn Right onto US 64E - 8 miles to Brevard, NC
Aproximately 11:30AM We can meet Tim and any others who drove from Asheville, that want to drive down off the parkway into Brevard for lunch. Also anyone wanting to join that is driving up from SC can meet us too.

Let's keep the lunch stop simple...
Wal-Mart parking lot (lower part, near Taco Bell and the Bank)
177 Forest Gate Dr
Brevard, NC 28712

Wal-Mart is at the intersection of NC 280, US 64, NC 276...

We will do lunch in Brevard. Right near the Bottom of HWY 276 there are several places to eat fast food. We don't all have to eat at the same place, most places are within sight of one another. I am going to pack my lunch. Also you can pick up last minute purchases at the Walmart here too. We can regroup at by 12:30PM after everyone has eaten, then head back up to the parkway, maybe make a few stops and enjoy the scenery, and get to Smokemount campsite in Cherokee, NC before 3:30PM to set up camp.

Fast Food:
Taco Bell
Subway
Food Lion Deli
(maybe a few others in the shopping area...)

Sounds like a terrific plan Holly, I'll be checking for adjustments but the idea of catching up with you guys in Commerce sounds good. Should be a great weekend.

Every year when we meet up at the Commerce Walmart we make a joke about if you're meeting us there or not :lol: I hope to see you there!

Holley, add me as well,

Dang, if I wasn't already going to AMP this Saturday, I would join you guys.

Holly, add me to the list. I'll be the chaperone.

See you at the Brevard Wally Mart Holly.

You map is a bit off after it gets to 74, we will be taking the BRP all the way into Smoke Mount, not following 74 around to it. No biggie, just follow me!

Thanks Tim. As you said we will just follow you, as always. :nod:
