Ahhh, the Pickle girl...
I might not notice her if she's wearing that camouflage top again.

If someone will take the initiative to schedule a place and time for lunch on Saturday the 7th, I will be heading home from Asheville with the wife and golden retriever in our BMW and would love to meet you all and enjoy a quick bite with you.
Since we're headed to Meridian, MS for the evening, I thought we could drive the Cherohala Skyway as it's heading kinda West-Southwest after lunch.
Anyone? Anyone? Beuller?
I'd hate to be in the area and not figure out how to see you guys while there!

Randall,
I'm sure we can find a place in Robbinsville to have lunch. What time will you be rolling through?

Can we make it 12.30 pm?
I think we'll have a little clean up to do before we leave on Saturday morning.

I-40 closed
We just returned from the Smokey's, Asheville and the TAIL last weekend. Fantastic scenery and great drives. Check out ZEE Photo or Killboy.com for photos taken on the TAIL. These guys are out there just about everyday.
NOTE: I-40 is closed at MM3 NC near the Tenn and NC border due to major rock slide. It could be closed for several months.
Our self guided detour included Rt 209 north to Hot Springs, NC then 25/70 to Newport, TN. Another great drive. Rt 107 may be equally exciting.
Its amazing how much fun these roads are with the right car!

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.
