September 23-24, 2023 to Murphy, North Carolina
The Woontners and Fischers are doing it again with their side-by-side mountaintop cabins outside of Murphy, NC, hosting a potluck soiree there. The tour will entail a led driving tour to the cabins on some of East Tennessee’s and West North Carolina’s gorgeous roads, ending at Murphy about 2ish. Then we’ll check-in as needed, socialize and prep/warm up the side dishes and sit down for dinner about 4ish at the Woontners. After that, dessert at the Fischers. Return options include heading back home after dinner, or DIY hotel arrangements (see below) and a led tour home on Sunday morning.
