djh3 Posted June 6, 2015 #1 Posted June 6, 2015 With the wife having use or lose vacation time we decided to go to the mountians for a week and try to beat this Fla heat. Finally decided on Franklin. We have been there before and like surounding areas. Rented a place as she has to take dog. (I dunno I just give in) I was going o put the bike in the trailer and go ride a couple days while up there. But when I got to looking at time available to ride I dont think its worth the extra time driving up with reduced speed pulling trailer vs days to ride. We are planning to raft a day, kyak another, maybe hop over to Helen for a most excellent pretzal @ the bavarian house. So really only leaves lik maybe 2 days to ride. plus didnt think of taking bike until a day or so ago and have not pretrip checked trailer. We will leave 6/ 11 and hope to get there that night. Come home the 16th Might be able to work out a lunch or dinner if anybody happins to be up and around that area, depending on what we have scheduled for the day. Pretty sure going rafting on Sun as it has cheaper rates.
cowpuc Posted June 6, 2015 #2 Posted June 6, 2015 AWESOME!!!!!! Wishing you folks NOTHING but the greatest "beating the heat" adventure of ALL times DJ!! Ride safe and have FUN out there!!
djh3 Posted June 6, 2015 Author #3 Posted June 6, 2015 Looks as though weather could play a spoiler right now. Long range forecasts as they are says rain in 40% range thru sat. But as we get closer I'll take more stock in that prediction.
Donvito Posted June 6, 2015 #4 Posted June 6, 2015 Hope you have a great time. We were there in May, stayed in Murphy but had lunch in Franklin and we liked Franklin better. Next time, we'll be staying there.
djh3 Posted June 7, 2015 Author #5 Posted June 7, 2015 We stayed there a year or so ago and used it as home base for a week. Pretty central for what we wanted to do that year.
