OK, everyone, this is supposed to be a nice weekend, though Sunday might be a bit chilly in the Atlanta arrea. It's the last opportunity to get that car fine' tuned and safety checked for next weekend. Start getting things into the car like your tool kit, fire extinguisher, spare parts and fluids. Throw in a roll or two of TP for the roadside restrooms. Maybe a mask or two and some hand sanitizer for when you handle that gas pump nozzle. You might think Covid-19 is no big deal, but you never know when you might contract Ebola from something you touch. Toss in a folding chair for sitting around and socializing Friday night.
Right now, the extended forecast is looking like a good weekend. The Gatlinburg conditions are 8-10% chance of rain with highs about 80* and lows in the mid 50's. Dawsonville, our starting point is forecast for less than 10% chance of showers Friday morning with temps ranging from about 77* to a low around 58*.
Those coming from the more southern points might want to throw in a light jacket or sweater while those from further north might elect to just wear their fishnet shirts.
