On Saturday November 5th, the Smoky Mountain Region of the PCA took a nice drive up the Cherohala Skyway, then off to The Chop House for Cocktails and Dinner.
-
- Final preparations to make Jacquie look good
-
- Someone is ready TO GO!!
-
- Paperwork, paperwork…
-
- A new Fave… love that color!
-
- Another new Fave… what’s not to like about a Spyder
-
- Driver’s Briefing: “Obey the speed limts…”
-
- An Old Schoole Fave…
-
- Another
-
- “SADDLE UP!!”
-
- And… wait in line.
-
- FINALLY!! After a delay at the dam, we are off.
-
- R&R break at a Hardees.
-
- Plotting and planning the rest of the run…
-
- Now at the Skyway proper
-
- Porsches to back of me…
-
- Porsches to the front of me…
-
- And squiggly lines all the way!
-
- The Turnaround, with a view: Lake View Overlook.
-
- Stacked them in like cordwood at the overlook
-
- Leaves were still popping
-
- Comparing cars
-
- The Photographers never get in the picture!
-
- “Scroll down, click, scroll… HERE: set the in-dash espresso maker to ‘Strong’…
-
- Ladies of the Overlook
-
- And back on the road, down the mountain. Mileage was way better.
-
- Down to river level
-
- Cruising through the woods along the river
-
- Admiring the rear ends at the Visitor Center
-
- And we actually made it to dinner right on time, filled up our section of the parking lot.
-
- “Oh, look at the time! Cocktail hour!” Was an excellent social sit down after the drive.
-
- And… DINNER! well served and well Deserved! And many thanks to Clyde, et al., for setting this all up!
