Me too. It is a pretty drive that direction as well. I have not decided yet if I want to have a hot run that morning. I guess it depends on how much "night" I had. :rolleyes:

Meant to get this out to you guys sooner. Caravan briefing attached. Includes the route, planned stops, and le driving rules.

The route for our Tuesday cruise... Cherohala Skyway Loop

https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=N...=16&via=1&z=13

Looks like a section of 441 is undergoing single lane closures for construction. This will likely have an impact on our Clingman's dome trip. Trying to figure out some alternate routes.

From the NPS:

Newfound Gap Road (US-441) - the section of the road from Chimneys Picnic Area for six miles up towards the crest of the mountains will be paved this summer. From May 8-June 15 and from Aug 15-Sept 30, motorists may encounter single-lane daytime closures. Traffic will be directed through the construction zone by flaggers. No daytime closures will occur from June 15-Aug 15. At night, single lane closures may be encountered from May 8-Sept 30.

Clingman's Dome is just about in the middle of that 6 mile stretch of one lane roads. Since we're doing this on a Thursday, I think we'll be fine. We just might have to deal with a bit of a delay getting up there where the road goes down to one lane. I remember last year there was construction up that way which caused some delay, but I don't remember if we were funneled down to one lane or not.

....an Al usually runs the Dragon one last time on the way home......:icon17:

Well I'm starting to flip out. doesn't look like I'll be able to fit everything in the Z! Blargghhhhh.

Can't Dana hold it?:stirthepot:

I had trouble fitting errything, so all my underwear will be thongs.

I'll keep you warm when it gets cold at night.

Have a safe drive down everyone! I expect a full report on the fun had by all upon your return. :driving:

I'm leaving tomorrow before lunch. Should be there before 9:00 pm. Anything on the shopping list for my way down? I have the Bushmill's and some beer. I was planning on grabbing some hot dogs, buns and chips. Need anything else there?

We definitely need hot dogs. Maybe some brats too.

We will be up at 660 at 9 so come on over as soon as you're checked in. :tup:

Doing cherohala tomorrow and again on Wednesday. Clingmans dome on Thursday.

You should stop at Wegmans and get these. You're welcome.

Boy, aren't you specific! I'll see what I can do.

I'll pick some up. You OK for condiments? No wise cracks about a similar sounding drug store item or "No hot dog for you", wait, that sounded bad also! :icon17:

See you before 9:00.

lololol you and your weiners.

You'll thank me later :)

Hey, I'm very picky about the wieners I put in my mouth.

Wow, do I feel special now.

MAZOC CruiZe Down & Back
 

Thanks Steve T for getting us down to ZDayZ and back. Trip down was ALMOST uneventful (VSP & Cracker "F" Barrel wait), but we all made it safely thanks to your efforts!

With the exception of some crappy weather and traffic, trip back went well too - Deb and I finally pulled into the driveway around 18:30, but some of that was linking up with my parents for dinner along the way.

Looking forward to another great CruiZe next year!

Pics coming later in the week - too tired and gotta drag my butt to work in the morning......

Fitz, I had a blast with you and Deb. :D

Had a blast with everyone, really.

Had a great time for the most part. Already booked for 2014 and counting down the DayZ. I hope to have my pics up this week.

I might reserve that same cabin, just so I have one, and then try to swap to a different one. Those driveways were frickin' murder. I have to replace my front chin spoiler because of that.

Definitely reserve it so you've got something.

:roflpuke2:

Z Stig's Frog.....
 

Under the category or "odd CruiZe" happenings - the Tree Frog that jumped into Z Stig's hood while we were waiting to depart the Shell Station in Asheville.

Pics are a little out of focus, but I was in a hurry as I didn't think anyone would believe us.......

No Z's or Frogs were injured in this depiction......

So did you eat my wieners?

Froggie!!!

Cr@p!!!! I knew I forgot something. :ohsnap1: Maybe next time you can just come down to ZDayZ and serve them yourself. :icon17:
