Well Kermit, also being a 20 year old, ihope that i can find something else for you to do. Other than being into contours, what are you into?
I have two hobbies, cars and drinking. Though I don't know that the mountains of TN/NC offer much in the way of drinking.
I like hunting and fishing, but not really looking to do it on the trip. Maybe if the rafting stuff looks fun/cheap enough, we could do that.
It's not a big deal if we don't find something to do. I've had a good time the past times just driving and meeting with other CEGers/anyone else that's up there.
Well, even though I am only 20, I am a Bartender at Ruby Tuesday. I also know other Ruby Tuesday bartenders in K-town so I may have some hooks there. While/if in Peigon Forge, my step-brother's dad owns a diner where I am sure i can get a discount if not for free. I'll run that by him later this week.

Ruby Tuesdays isn't exactly the place I like to drink at, probably best just to skip that. And I don't know how the area is with police and underage drinking, plus possibly driving,etc... I'm sure we'll have beer in the hotel room.
The diner thing sounds good.
Are there any go-kart tracks,arcades, or car museums around there?

I'm going to be coming south on the Dragon to Robbinsville on July 3rd (afternoon/evening) and staying at the Microtel until July 5th (morning) when I head through Deal's Gap to Indiannapolis. If traffic's not awful during the day Tuesday, I'll make some Dragon runs, or drive the Cherohola Skyway, as well as watching Independence Day fireworks in the evening.
Grandmasterkhan and I are going from Robbinsville to Indy in caravan on Wednesday, and a couple other Cougar owners have expressed interest, too.
If anyone else will be in that area at those times, I'd love to have company running through the Dragon.
PS - anyone know of a good go-kart track closer to Robbinsville than the one in Pigeon Forge, TN?

I just saw this thread about 2 days ago. I'm going to try to go, but It will be a virgin run for me, so I'm going to take it slow the first couple of runs, not to mention tne G/F riding along with me. She loves riding in my car going on twisties. I love the Dragon website Quote:
please stay on the right side of your lane, if you want to make a straight line, go to Florida.

Right on, I can't really blame you for that. If it weren't for the fact I work there, I wouldn't go there either. but back on topic. Tons of go-kart tracks in P.Forge. Nascar Speed Park is there (go-karts that can do 60 mph+) there is a class you have to take before-hand and last time I heard its 50-75 bucks a-go there. But tons of other attractions in P. Forge and Gatlinburg.

Cherokee, NC has a go kart track and is about an hour closer than pigeon forge.
What do ya'll think about going to that go-kart track and then another 20 miles up to http://www.wheelsthroughtime.com/ museum?
I sort of prefer to do that on saturday to avoid the weekend traffic on the dragon, but whatever works for ya'll.
A buddy of mine in Atlanta plans to come with possibly two friends, most likely all on motorcycles.
