Run For The Hills # 18, September 20-22, 2013

[TopNotch]

This was one of the more interesting runs I have been on. According to Fierofool (unofficial RFTH historian), this was only the 2nd run done in rain. And because it was raining, I didn't shoot any video. (There would have been a windshield wiper swiping across the video.)
But we had fun on the curves any way. And who knows -- maybe we'll do a re-run on a clear day. (We've been known to do that.)

We had one car break down in front of a country church...

It kind of looks like we're going to a prayer meeting.

We hope Elder Mooney didn't mind us parking on the church lawn.


After the run, we had excellent food in the Smith House in Dahlonega...


There's an abandoned gold mine in the Smith House...

A mirror lets you peek down the mine shaft.


The day was topped off by a gorgeous sunset.

...and after the Saturday night sunset, a Sunday morning sunrise from my window.


Thank you Pat, for a good selection of roads.  I do think they are worth another visit on a clear day.  Thanks Ron for taking the time to come all the way from Huntsville to help with the scouting and real-time runs.  That's what makes the run so enjoyable for those who attend.

Thanks to all of you who made this RFTH 18 happen!
The lunch and dinner spots were wonderful.
It was a great route/run despite the rain and I'm sure that another run on a clear day is in the works!
Thanks to Pat and Charlie for some really nice pix and sharing them with us.

Anyone who wasn't there, we missed you and hope you can make the RFTH 19!

To all who joined us for the run , Your Welcome! Make sure that you watch the board and join us at the meetings for more updates on the "Booze Cruise" . Thank you Pat and Charlie for all your time and efforts in making the Georgia Fiero Club the best club that I have ever been a member of.

Thanks to Pat and Charlie for working out the logistics.
I told Charlie, last night, that this is probably one of my favorite routes of all time.
Dry pavement would have been a big "plus", but it was still fun.

I'm glad you all had fun! Needless to say, Anne and I would have loved to participate.

Don... In his natural habitat!

Donster, tell you what!  Next year we'll hold it in the Swiss Alps if you'll cover our hotel rooms and loan us that A10. 

Dragon and Marianna, wish things had turned out better for you and the ABS light hadn't come on.  It would have been great to have had that Mini along in the group.  It was nice socializing with you at the hotel.  Hope you enjoyed the Vineyards tour you took.

JJBlue, it was great to see and talk with you again, too.  Maybe we can convince you to get another Fiero, since obviously they still occupy a place in your heart.  Thank you for the donated raffle items. Looks like they're thinking about a Redux, so maybe you can bring that Challenger along.
