Run for the Hills 27
« on: September 26, 2021, 08:36:42 pm »
I had a blast and this was my first year. I see now that you cannot plan too far ahead. I want to start the discussion now.

 What did we like?

What didn’t we like?

Route suggestions? Jason and Roger had some thoughts.

I seem to remember that Pisgah Inn has limited hours for lunch for non-hotel diners.  Probably need to contact them about that before setting that as a lunch stop.  Melanie and I and another couple stopped there once and we were turned away.

Any idea on which weekend the Run will be next year? 24th? I have to put my vacation in after Christmas to ensure I get it approved just in case...

Budgetman72 (Jason Spencer) and I will be doing a scouting run for RFTH 27 on April 23.  Again, this year there will be a White Knuckles Run and a Sightseer's Run. 

Jason and I will be holding a planning meeting this Saturday, March 19 at 1PM at the Applebee's on Steven B. Tanger Blvd, Banks Crossing, Commerce.  Jason will be leading the White Knuckles tour in September and on the scouting run, but we need someone to lead the Sightseer's Run. 

Come join us for this planning session.  It will be a beautiful day for a Fiero drive.  Bring the lady and do some shopping nestdoor at Tanger Outlet Mall before or after the meeting.

Scouting runs are usually just a one day thing.  Our meeting tomorrow is to decide where we will start.  We already know where we will end.  Also to work on a sightseers route to get them from the start point to the end point.

What we discussed at the planning session is that we will start in Dillard, Ga. travel through Highlands and Cashiers, NC, and have lunch near Canton, NC. 

After our lunch stop, we will proceed northward through Hot Springs, NC, briefly entering into Tennessee and traveling almost to Erwin, then back into North Carolina, and making our way down to Burnsville, NC, then ending in Asheville, NC.  From there, we will return home via I-26 and I-85. 

This is the primary run.  The sightseers' run will separate from us in Cashiers, using an alternate route to arrive at the lunch stop.  From the lunch stop, they will head east while the primary group will head north.  The sightseers will access the Blue Ridge Parkway to Asheville, then exit and head northward through the country and mountain valleys to Weaverville and Asheville.  This scouting trip will be done on another date.

 Things are coming together for the 27th Annual Run For The Hills.  The primary route has been scouted and documented and we promise you, if you like driving, you will love this one.  We will begin in Dillard, Georgia and will work our way through the back roads of North Carolina, with a brief excursion Into Tennessee, then back to Asheville, NC.  We have several restaurants picked out that have always been favorites. 

Again this year we will also have the Sightseer's Tour.  Set up so that both route participants may dine at the same restaurants together.  Hotel reservations and group rates are still in negotiation and haven't been finalized.  We will post that information as soon as we have rates and cutoff dates.

We are in need of someone to lead the Sightseer's Tour and to go with us on the scouting trip to familiarize themselves with the route. 


Edited:  Sightseer's Scouting Trip is set for June 18.
