The plan was to drive through the Smoky Mountains, Blue Ridge Parkway, Cherry Hall Skyway, Tell The Dragon, Nashville, and back roads of Tennessee, Arkansas, and eventually to Dallas. We kicked off the trip by attending LIFT in Durham, North Carolina. Lots of air good Porsches. I didn't bring my nine eleven this time. I was itching to put miles on the Ferrari. We hit the show and then did the three hour drive from Durham to Asheville. We got into the hotel and then did a bar crawl up downtown Asheville. Day two, immediately to Blue Ridge Parkway. Incredible roads with clouds and fog. Almost hit a deer to start the trip. Held up by a best. Snap some photos. More driving. Wow. Tail Of The Dragon by 3PM. tier curves over 11 miles. Back and forth a couple tier. Grab a Crumming Motel. Day three. Up super early. Back through Tail Of The Dragon once more. Best, Cherry Hill Skyway.
