Ella and I had a GREAT time today!!
What a wonderful day to spend on the Blue Ridge! Company was great, drive was great, weather, etc. Made for a nice 5hr detour on the way home from Gatlinburg!
I'll post up pics and vids tomorrow...too tired and busy unpacking to much else right now.
Thanks Alan fro getting this all put together! It was nice seeing some of you again and the newer faces as well!

Slow would be the mentally challenged drivers that got in front of me and Kevin. Pretty sure one guy did it on purpose. The second was a minivan that rode the brakes all the way down, averaging about 20 with at least 10 cars behind him. Added nearly an hour to the trip home.
Great to see everybody, its been too long.

That's a great pic Alan!
And no JJ that's not what I was saying. Lol. Alan did have a run of bad luck with the slowpokes coming down the mountain though. But as usual he did a great job of leading the group and the weather he ordered was perfect. I even got a little sunburn on my head.
Also, I took over your duty of SUV patrol and ran one off the road yesterday morning that was trying to pass us on the right. It was pretty close. I couldn't see him in my mirror and moved over...

Alan...Tell Deb thanks for the Stylin & Profilin shot...LOL Thank you for putting this together. Had a great time yesterday. It was great to see everyone and meet some new people. Thanks to the Blue Oval guys out of Shelby for joining us. What a perfect day to play cars.

Alan & Debbie, Kevin, Clint & Debbie, Steve, Blue Oval, etc. yesterday was a lot of fun. Alice and I had a great time and a great ride. Could not have been better, great people and great weather.
We left a little early and went to Crabby "something or other" and then to the artist display just before Asheville. Alice found some things to purchase so the day was good.
Little delay on I-26 just outside of Asheville, 30 min. of stop and go, not fun with a clutch.
Again, Thanks Alan for getting the trip organized and look forward to the "tail of the dragon".
