Well if you guys want to get an earlier start we can do this route. In it's present form we would run it in reverse and you would get to run US 129 north to Deals Gap then turning south on Hellbender 28. Follow 28 down to where it becomes NC-28/US 64. Stay on 28 down to Warwoman Road going over to pick up Hwy 197. Then pick up 356 cutting through Unicoi State Park scooting to just North of Helen.
We then would take Alt 75 back over to US-129 to run north to ride Blood Mountain. For those that like clean pavement with tight bends this is a good road. Let's just say the first time I scrapped my pegs on the V-Strom I was running this road. We will get to go by Vogel State Park and then pick up Hwy 180 aka: Wolf Pen Gap Road over to Suches where T.W.O. is.
Then back on Hwy 60 north (really West) to Skeenah Gap Road to Blue Ridge Highway and head East. Then pick up 515 briefly over to US-129 South back over to 180 East to 17 north to 76 west. Next turn is 175 to Hwy 64 East to Patton and then onto Wayah Road. Follow Wayah back over to 19 South to Pick up US-129 back to Robbinsville.
This route is about 325 miles. We would need to be ready to go early Sunday morning. The GPS says it will take 6 hours and 50 minutes. Figure a few fuel stops in there along with lunch and we are talking about 10 hours.
We can cut out Hellbender 28 and save an hour by just taking 143 over to 28.
But if we did this route I would like to get on the road by 8:00 at the latest. If we also eat something on the fast food side of things then we should make good time. Review this route and if we want to cut out parts of this let me know. This would cut you deep into Georgia and will hit several of the many popular roads in Georgia.
But here is the link. Thanks for posting the first route Rowdy. I was able to figure out how to do this I think for this one. Can't figure out how to clean up the link but it works. Just have to ask yourself how many curves are going to be too much?
