Milw 2 Knoxville (7/15) 2 Deals Gap 2 Rally

[nevada72]

I'm leaving the Milwaukee area weds, 7/15 (6 am) and slabbing (more or less) to Knoxville. I'll arrive Weds night (7-8 PM) and stay at the Comfort Suites off of I-40. Thursday a.m will be a run down the Dragon, over to Asheville, up the BRP to Little Switzerland, and cutting over to Johnson City - roughly 330 miles and 8 hours of scenic joy ride. On the slab day I plan on moving pretty fast and limiting my stops within reason. Thursday is pure, meandering fun.

Anyone interested in riding along for all or part of it is welcome. Also, I would be interested in hearing from people that are leaving the SE WI area looking for people to join their group.

:scratch Meandering Ah! In that region of the App's/Blue Ridge... that 330mi
is 10 - 12 hrs on the day. Your avg moving speed, about 42.5mph.
thats why its so good. And 330 could become 365 for any reason.
It WILL be a long day you will enjoy, if the roads/weather are fine!

I figured that was a possibility. There's plenty of "bailout" routes along my itinerary. If I get sick of the fun I can always cut bait.:thumb Maybe I'll hit the Dragon a little earlier in an effort to get to JC earlier and avoid squids, who everyone knows are prone to sleeping in late. :D
