23rd Annual Run For The Hills Pictures
« on: September 15, 2018, 09:59:58 pm »
We had a small group for this year's run (some may have been scared by the weather), but the weather where we were turned out to be just fine, and we had a good time.
Put your pictures of the run in this thread. Here are mine. I had forgotten my camera, and my mount for my video camera, so these are phone pictures.

Getting ready in the morning...


On our first rest stop...


We parked beside a rushing river.


Our next rest stop was on the Cherohala Skyway.


A view of the mountains.


This years run of the Dragon was the "cleanest" I've been on, with no slow cars blocking us anywhere. After the Dragon, we stopped at Fontana Dam

Sarge's car is looking great!

No one did a Dr. Kimble off of the dam, I hope.

6 of 9?  Well, maybe the weather was bad where the others were.

Enjoyed the photos thanks for sharing.  Looks like a grand day out. Would love to have a go but would need a lift.😀

Glad it was a good run and bad weather avoided.

You know how many Swaynes were on the run, last year?  At the time, TopNotch made a comment about there being enough of them for their own run.

4 last year. This year, my brothers went to the 35th instead, and my daughter had other things to do, so only one this year.

2 brothers, you, your son, and your grandson?  I was comparing numbers.  Turns out, you were right.

Thanks for the photos.

Turns out Arts in the Heart is being rained on and my daughter's show maybe canceled, but I'm waiting for a new Slave Cylinder to show up anyway.

Looks like fun.

The Early Arrivals on Friday afternoon.  Beautiful weather that remained with us throughout Friday and into Saturday mid evening.


Added 2 more.


And another.


There was also a GT from Ohio and a Cadillac from Ohio that were to join us, but failed to meet up, though they were seen on The Dragon by KillBoy.

This year's players.
Budgetman 72 and his son. (Budgetkid72 :) ?)


Sarge


TopNotch


CowsPatoot and Fierfly


Formula Owner and wife Terry


Roger and Brenda hadn't arrived at the time of the lineup.  Though they were as much a part of the festivities, they didn't make the run.  They elected to spend some quality time together since they had already been on this particular run in a previous year.  We thank both for joining us.

I'm guessing this is a greasy fast food joint.

What is that white thing behind/between CowsPatoot's Fiero and Fierofool's Fiero?

I need to get my eyes checked.  At first glance, I wondered what that blue thing was coming out of that green Fiero to the right of Sarge's Fiero.

Speaking of Sarge, his Fiero is looking great from every angle I've seen.

Our first scenic rest stop along Whiteoak Creek beside Wayah Road.




CowsPatoot at the Cow Pattie stand


Another rest stop at a scenic overlook on the Cherohala Skyway.  Elevation +4000 feet.


While we were on the Skyway, we passed an overlook where several people were waving frantically and one was filming us as we went by.  When we made our next quick stop, they pulled in with us but never made contact.  They later showed up at our lunch stop and were so excited to see so many Fieros together.  They came in just to chat and share their excitement but had to leave to attend a wedding.

This father and son team Sarge  Formula Owner is talking with were very intrigued with the cars.  They had traveled some distance so the son could compile photos for a photography project. 


Giving them a rest and letting them cool down at Fontana Dam, NC


Notice the beautiful sky in the background.  Evidence of the quality of the weekend.
