jdr,
Thanks for the heads up on the I-40 rock slide. I had heard about it but I hadn't checked to see if it was in the way for us on the way down. Must recalculate the route now which might end up being longer but looks like more twisty roads are involved.
Regards,
mike

OK folks, I'm already here waiting for you.
I'm just outside of Asheville with the wife and golden retriever. Nope, not in the box, in our 550i.
The roads leading to the cabin we're renting are excellent boxstering roads. Nice and twisty with some good elevation changes and switchbacks. Of course, the wife hollers every time I do anything fun or fast, so I'm really glad we didn't drive the box.
Can't wait to meet and eat with whomever can show up next Saturday in Robbinsville.
I'm now officially wanting to retire in this area of the country. Although I have no current interest in college football, this is a wonderful place to live.

On the slim chance that I can get away, what is the temp likely to be? I need to decide if I should keep on the winter tires or put the PS2s back on.

Ed, it's a toss up. The winter tires might work better first thing in the morning, but it's not going to be 37 degrees for long. The PS2's will probably perform much better when it warms up and the tires warm up as well.
Either way, don't throw caution to the wind when driving this weekend. Better to be a little slower and keep the shiny side up and the dull side down :dance:
