      Man, I'm racking a lot of miles this summer, I'm putting on as many miles this summer as I did in the past two years.

                Little help with this...

The road in is 18 miles from US 441 (Cherokee, NC) up the Blue Ridge Parkway; there are signs.


                How to get there properly? My car definitely won't make it up a fire road...

                    Go to Cherokee, NC; turn right (or left) on the Blue Ridge; 16-18 miles look for signs to Balsam; turn left and follow signs; good roads all the way.

                    Here's a map:

                    Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
                    That way, if you do criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

                    It takes hundreds of nuts to hold a car together,
                    but it takes only one of them to scatter it all over the highway.

                      Fun roads all over the area, I am anxious just to go for some quiet time...

                      I am ready to get away for this but it sure seems to be coming along sooo sloooow....:)

                      Nobody should try the fire road in a BMW.. you will not like the outcome !

                        I am coming to mostly relax. If I can ride with others that would be stellar. I want to relax, take a nap, maybe go into town somewhere with someone and go shopping.

                        Don't want to be up and trying to drive for 6-8 hours a day :)

                                Exactly. Relaxation time :)

                                Maybe we can bring some boards games or something and we can chill and listen to Jack Johnson...
