Planning a Mountain cruise for either Monday, December 26th or Friday, December 30th, and everyone is welcomed to come along. Come for a nice drive to Cullowhee and back. We are leaving from Pickens, SC. I am having a good buddy plot us a new route and we will be stopping for lunch in Cullowhee at Tuck’s Tap & Grille in Cullowhee, NC, but feel free to suggest alternative places with good food that won’t kill us on the remaining half of the trip. If you are coming then please note if you have had any enthusiastic mountain driving experience.

-Starting point at Holly Springs Country Store.

-From there the cruise will go up Highway 178 all the way to Rosman, NC area.

-Go west on HWY 64 until Kim Miller Road in Lake Toxaway, NC.

-Jump on 281 North until Tuckasegee, NC where will cut off onto 107 North to Cullowhee, NC for lunch.

-From there its back down going down 107 to Walnut Creek, NC.

-Then we are traveling from Walnut Creek, NC to Seneca, SC on 28.

I’m off all that week, but the 30th would be better for me.

We are going to be in Charlotte visiting the wife’s family but I doubt I can swing this as it would be all day away from family and almost as many miles on the car as it takes to get to Charlotte for us.

Sounds good; so far no one else has confirmed a good day besides you so, unless anyone else chimes in, we can totally do this on the 30th.

Might be up for that, have to evaluate when the time is closer.

The more I think about it, the 30th would likely be better than the 26th, since the 26th is the observed holiday and many things may be closed, plus lots of people on the highway potentially traveling from holiday visits. If I drive down from Charlotte.

But don’t put too much weight on my opinion, since I’m feeling only a bit over 50-50 that I’ll go (will likely depend on whether a friend in the area is available for a visit - or participation - on the given day).

Cool, I appreciate the follow-up. So far, no one has locked in a date so I’m okay with the 30th.

Any idea on timing for the meet? I’m pretty much planning on participating at this point.

I’m thinking meeting up at the starting point (the country store) between 8 am and 9 am, preferably 8 am so we have more time to finish while there’s still daylight.

By the way, are you able to view this Facebook event link?

Got it. Would prefer 9 so that I’m not up too early since I’m coming from Charlotte.

Route is 3.5 hours on google maps. Expecting a very, very long lunch?

We might do a detour or two depending on the roads. That or double-back the way we came.

Uhh...due to circumstances at my work, would the 31st be okay with you instead of the 30th?

Hmm. Could work, but also could consider 26th again, too.

I am considering both the 26th and 31st very closely while keeping an eye on the weather.
