ok, anyone going may want to print out the following maps...i'll have about 10 copies of each, first come first served. you'll want to print out the deadzonevideo.com linked maps in landscape format for best view (i'm gonna smack someone if i seem them with pages cut out and taped together, lol, haha, jk)
SO PRINT AND BRING THESE if you want:
http://www.bloodmountain.com/directions/map.gif <---good, simple map of area. does not cover cashiers loop area though
http://www.deadzonevideo.com/Map/Cashiers%20Loop.htm <---likely our main route, probably pitstop in helen for oktoberfest/food, probably loop lake burton (the lake straight south of the word GEORGIA on this map) also.
http://www.deadzonevideo.com/Map/hwy180A.htm <---good little roads. if traffic is cooperating, we can work these into the a few loops before heading east
NEALS GAP on these maps is the main overlook and store that indian stig was talking about...should be one of our first stops, especially if we are doing the cashiers loop. use the appalachain trail show on the maps to orient yourself from map to map.
any GPS people may also want to note these addresses...
turners corner (probable first pit stop) 10 Turners Corner Rd. , Cleveland, GA 30528
main overlook (probable second pit stop) 9710 Gainesville Hwy, Blairsville, GA 30512
The blood mountain store at Neels Gap is called the Walasi-yi Center. Good move on driving to Clayton and the Carolinas to avoid the craziness all around Dahlonega lol!
just hoping oktoberfest isn't too crowded...any idea??Quote:

Umm...I've seen 400N backed up through Dawson before...with very little breathing room between the lights. Hwy. 60 will probably be a parking lot from Moe's (the right turn towards Wal-Mart) over Crown Mtn. halfway to 400. Helen is going to be a mess too. I don't have much advice, you're in for a treat. I recommend a DVD player or wireless internet lol!Quote:

Personally I would remain straight past 400 which is Long Branch Rd, cross Hwy. 60 then cross Hwy. 52 and keep going until it dead ends at Cavender Creek Rd. Make a left there then a right on Town Creek Church Rd. Left on Frogtown then left at the end on Damascus Church Rd. That will dump you out onto Hwy. 9/19 not far from Turners Corner Cafe...but that's just me.
From that area I can get you to just about any town via dirt roads that is within or borders Chattahooche National Park...Ellijay, Suches, Dahlonega, to Helen...too bad nobody is taking a rally prepped car :tongue:
meeting at the super wal-mart just east off exit 4, 985 at 10:30 (about 15-20 minutes away from mall of georgia), leaving at 11...or you can test your luck and try to meet us at the overlook around 12:30-1...will be a crapshoot with traffic; good luck:goodjob:Quote:

...to clear up some other things i thought about too...we were planning on a slow/safe pace from the get-go but didn't have a clue there was any festivals going on that weekend...so thanks for the heads up there too :goodjob:
it is pretty close...sounds about right...i guess a little less than 10-15 minutes in sat AM traffic?Quote:

not sure of the best way to get there from the north east...address for the walmart is 3795 Buford Drive, Buford, GA 30519
i'll be there a little earlier than 10:30, green 2 door BMW with black hood, roof and trunk...will probably be smoking a cig or chowing down on a chicken biscuit, haha...
...and everyone will probably want to grab a little breakfast before we go, may also want to pack a little cooler or bring a bottle of something to drink.
it'll will probably be cold in the morning, don't count on it warming up too much either, wear a jacket or bring a jacket...may want to bring a coat too if you get cold as easily as i do.
Well looks like IM not gonna be looking at the car on sat as the guy hasnt emailed me at all, so I might just be coming. :) Gotta clean the car so early. :(
sweet!Quote:

I love my cars, even thought theyre crappy but unfortunately work doesnt allow me to wash them as much as I like haha. I might be on the bike.....damn im so undecided.
oh don't get me wrong, i love my cars too, the mechanicals more so than the paint/body, too many track booboo's to worry about the body...i probably should wash them more often, but the last time i washed anything on a car it was just to get the spray paint to stick better, lol.Quote:

If someone wants to let me ride with them ill be down to go :)
Ill take on a co-pilot if you come to Gainesville lol.Quote:
