North Georgia Cruise through the Mountains

[SparkyRnD]

Rather than use an old thread, I opted to make a new one.

I'm looking to set up a non-racing / non-track gathering in the North Georgia mountains. This will be an opportunity for friends to come together to hang out for a day, do some driving and grab some chow together. Let me know if you are interested. The route will center around the Chattahoochee National Forest (Dahlonega / Suches / Amicalola Falls). No racing, no track time, etc. Just cruising through some fun roads and hanging out, great scenery with a meal or two fit in.

We would meet in the Walmart parking lot at 270 Walmart Way, Dahlonega, GA 30533 maybe around 9.30am, with the goal of leaving around 10am. We’d head north along 19 / 60 until Stonepile Gap, and then take 60 up to Blue Ridge for lunch. That would take about 1.5 hours plus a few stops (we’d build in a few as there are some nice places to check out the view, and to watch other cars go by). That would put us in Blue Ridge at noon for lunch.

After lunch (say around 1.30pm), we’d come back down 60 to Wolfpen Gap Country Store to stretch, fuel up, etc. Then take hwy 180 through Vogel State Park until it hits 19, then head south to blood mountain country store for another stretch. Then take 19 south to Turner’s Corner, where we could stop to fuel up if anyone needs (and get drinks / etc). From there, we’d drive up to Amicalola Falls State Park and Lodge where we would eat dinner. That would take about 3.5 hours including stops, putting us at the restaurant around 5pm.

After that, we’d all go our separate ways.

Here are the closest dates available:
November 5
November 12
November 19

Hoping for at least 10-15 people, otherwise we can push it later.
