July 12th Meeting & Cruise Weather forecasts earlier in the week had predicted a 50% chance of rain showers today but we managed to have lunch and complete the cruise without any rain dropping on us. We had a small but entertaining group of members at lunch with eight Corvettes in the parking lot. J.R. & Barbara Murphy (in their recently purchased 2005 C6 Coupe) lead five Corvettes to Tellico Plains, TN where we stopped to visit the Cherohala Skyway Visitor's Center & Museum. Everyone enjoyed the hospitality and materials we received at the Visitor's Center. As we left the Visitor's Center the Murphy's started their return trip home as four Corvettes began their cruise over the Cherohala Skyway. The weather was great for cruising with the coupe tops off and the convertible tops down as we did experience a small drop in temperature as we topped the mountain at the 5,290' elevation and stopped at a picnic/parking area. We then cruised back to Blairsville as the Allen's decided to continue their return trip to Milledgeville; John Wentz, Gene Clopton, and John & Dena Callahan stopped for pizza in Blairsville before ending the cruise.   ****** Steve's Steak House                 ****** Cruise from Blairsville, GA to Tellico Plains, TN         ****** Cherohala Skyway Visitor's Center & Museum             ****** Cherohala Skyway             The next meeting is August 9th.
