We did this trip back in October and had a blast, turned out to be 1800 miles in the 4 days. Be on the road early and we were doing 300 mile days in the twisties . We left Franklin,Tenn. in the rain around 6:30am and got back in the Tampa area around 7:00 that night. Rain probably cost us an hour or so. I think the N.Ga.roads were my favorite..

On the trip back, could smell the fresh gunpowder everywhere through North Georgia and saw several deer on the side of the road waiting to jump.

I should know by Monday if my time off is approved for Apr 28 - May 3rd.
Once I have that confirmation, I will get serious about making a plan!
I'm already excited about the possibilities!

Well.....the best laid plans, and all that....
My job has really good benefits, one of which is 3 months of paid leave if your wife has a baby. Turns out, a guy I work with is expecting a child on or about April 15th, and as soon as it arrives he is taking that 3 months off. Since there are only 3 of us who do the job, the other 2 of us will not be able to take any time off during those 3 months unless we get a temporary replacement from another banking center....so right now my request is denied.
I encourage everyone interested to go ahead and ride, if you can. If, by chance, I get the time off I will go....if not, I will try again later in the year!

Sorry to hear your time off got denied. Damn babies I've got a week off in October(13th-20th)and had originally planned to go back to the hills then.Even if we go in April, I'd still be up for going back in Oct, temps had started cooling down when we were there last year. Ttyl..
