All,
The first of three Dragon drives sponsored by the Smoky Mountain BMWCCA
Chapter is planned for this Saturday, September 11, 2004. We plan to meet
at 8:30AM at the Kroger's parking lot on Northshore Drive next to
I-140. We will drive to the section of US-129 known as the Dragon which
takes about an hour, arriving there about 9:30AM. At the Tapcat Bridge on
Chilhowee Lake, we will drive the 12 miles over the Dragon to Deal's Gap; a
drive of about 20 minutes. We will turn around an return to Tapcat Bridge,
turn around and this time drive the entire 14 miles of the Dragon to the
Topoca Lodge where we will eat lunch. Food is available for purchase at
the Lodge, or you can bring a picnic lunch and eat on the picnic tables at
the Lodge. After lunch, we will drive the Cherohala Skyway through North
Carolina and Tennessee returning to Knoxville about 3:00Pm to 4:00PM in the
afternoon.

a map of the TN portion of the Skyway is available at

General Info on the Dragon is available at

There is no fee associated with this drive, but in order to assist at the
Topoca Lodge, I would like an approximate head count of those interested in
eating there so that advance reservations can be made. Please reply to
this email address. Thanks and hope to see you on Saturday.
