Day trip from the Raleigh area to Boone and the BRP on 10/10

I know that spyders in the smokies is scheduled for 2 weeks later, but I feel like that might be a little late to catch the leaves in full color. So, I have decided to make our annual mountain trip on 10/10. We will be meeting somewhere in the Cary area and heading out on 421 towards Boone, N.C. Once there, we will hop on the BRP and take that down to Little Switzerland. Then we will do the Diamondback Loop, and head down towards Marion. Once we got to I-40, we will just grab another bite to eat, and then head home. This is about a 450-500 mile round trip. We will probably be leaving early on saturday morning (around 7), and should be getting home just after dark. It should be a great ride, and we do plan on taking plenty of stops as to not wear anyone out. If you are interested in going, please post up.

Thanks,

Keith

At what point are you getting on the BRP? I can meet up with you at Cross Roads Harley Davidson in Wilksboro on 421. I'm about 2 hrs from Wilksboro. What time do you think you'll be Wilksboro?

We will be getting on where 421 crosses the brp. I will post up times as we get closer to the date. We normally stop just past Winston Salem for breakfast, and then gas up 1 last time in Wilksboro. I will post my cell before we go so we can plan on a meeting place.

Sounds like a plan.

Looks like I might be in your neck of the woods that weekend so I will try to make it.
