Here is our map and stops as well as the shirt design for this year. The map may say 2013, but it is for 2014. :drunken:

If you have not registered yet you can do it Friday night if you can find us Cool or Saturday morning starting at 9:00 am in the Best Western parking lot. We will start the run shortly after 10:00 am.

First stop is Fender's Diner, so bring your lunch money. Very Happy

I know the forecast is for rain here and there, but seldom does it last long. Every mountain we crest has a different weather system happening so don't let that keep you away. Even wet we will have a blast!

It was great! We had twenty VWs and the rain showers were few and far between. I'll post some pictures soon.

We were running a little short on time so most of us skipped the DQ in Hiawassee and went on to Jake Raby's shop.

Looks like Jake has upgraded the place since I was last there in . . . . 2002.

Yes, if you haven't been there since 2002 the additions are many. Two new buildings, new equipment, fewer VWS, pavement, landscaping...........
