You can get beer in Bryson City. Or bring some from here.

There's an Ingles grocery store, an ABC (liquor) store, and beer at the gas stations... so you have some options.

Maryville is the town you pass if you come from Knoxville going to DGRR. Depending on which way you guys are coming you pass through it. I know I will since I am already at mom's in Oak Ridge. Normally I can get to the Tennessee side in about 30 to 45 minutes. Now going all the way to the village take about hour to two depending on traffic.

So if you are at the first turn in on the Tennesseeside looking down at the small dam's it is way quicker to go to Maryville than it is to Bryson City. But if you are at Fontana Dam or the village than Bryson City wins.

We come from the South (Chattanooga) to Cleveland bypass and take 74 all the way in. We have taken the Dragon inbound before and have found it isn't fun to run through it with cars FULL OF SHIT!

JL1RX7 · 04-12-2016, 10:38 AM

DJ you haven't lived till one, you have done the Dragon with snow on it. Two an 18 wheeler full of toilet paper jack knives blocking the whole road for a few hours and your almost out of gas.

I agree it sucks ass to have a car full of shit when doing 129. But well they do make these things called bungie cords.

Meh. It's quicker the southern route anyway, since we stay in NC. We are in a hurry to get there so we can begin Thirsty Thursday.

JL1RX7 · 04-12-2016, 10:50 AM

Which is why I get here now on the weekend before. Mom's cooking is always a good thing.

project86 · 04-13-2016, 06:58 AM

So.... I'm looking into the importing an FC as a possibility still. But either way if I import or not I'm thinking of registering as an Antique to avoid the emissions. Are you guys making yours pass the tail pipe test or no?
