We would be meeting Sunday Aug 19th at the Petro Express at Hwy 321N and I-85 at 8:30am and leaving at 9:00am. The ride would take us through Lake Lure and Chimney Rock then on to Asheville and Maggie Valley. We will stop in Maggie Valley for lunch before going to the Museum. I figure we would be at Wheels Through Time for at least 2 hours then heading home the same route. Figure on being back in Gastonia about 8 hours later.
Let me know if you're interested in going
