I plan on being in Robbinsville NC October 19 and 20, 2023. My plan is to drive the Tail of the dragon/Cherohala loop. 21st drive to Dawsonville GA. It would be great to have others join in. Have a coffee or cold beverage. Let me know.

That sounds like fun - perfect time of the year too! I don't think I can swing it due to other goings on but am not discounting it totally! No matter, you'll have a good time.

well, right on queue, I had to get a new front tire this morning before heading out Wednesday.

Nail or screw? Or pot hole damage?

On the bright side, better now than when in the middle of your excursion. Have fun and let us know how it goes!

A group of us were scheduled for a 3+ hour drive up the coast a few years ago and, as I pulled out of the driveway, one of my CV joints just shattered and the car wouldn't move. After figuring out what happened, I remember thinking exactly this... I've broken down on the coast before, and it's a 3 or 4 hour ordeal to get a tow home.
