Since this is also Petit LeMans weekend again this year, I want to get past the I-85N Road Atlanta Exit #129. And, further north will be more convenient for Ray to join everyone, with no excuses. So the initial meeting will be in Commerce, GA (I-85 North, Exit 149)
I always suggest bringing your 2-way radios and set on channel 7 for the caravan communications.

Let's keep the lunch stop simple...

Wal-Mart is at the intersection of NC 280, US 64, NC 276.
We will stop for lunch in Brevard. Right near the Bottom of HWY 276 there are several places to eat fast food. We don't all have to eat at the same place, most places are within sight of one another. Or you can bring something along for lunch.
Fast Food:
Taco Bell
Subway
Food Lion Deli
(maybe a few others in the shopping area...)
Also you can pick up last minute purchases at the Walmart here too. We can regroup by 12:30PM after everyone has eaten, and topped off their gas tanks. Tim will then lead us back up to the parkway, maybe make a few stops and enjoy the scenery, and get to Smokemount campsite in Cherokee, NC before 3:30PM to set up camp.
