I believe there are some diesel stations near. I didn't need to fill up the whole weekend, but you will be traveling MUCH further than I did. I think the Shell we stopped at when it was down pouring, had diesel. Or maybe the station by the Ingles where we met prior to the run. If not, there IS diesel at the bottom of the hill from Ridge Top if I remember correctly. Let me see if some pics will show whether they have diesel. hang on...

I think we got all our breakfasts at the "bottom of the hill". It is a very short drive from the motel. We're not big McDonald's fans when we are at home but on the road we always figure they are a fairly "safe" place to stop. We've gone across the country on home-made oatmeal cookies and Mickey D's chicken nuggets several times.

There is a Shell station at the bottom of the hill from the Ridge Top. I believe they had diesel. Cause I remember commenting on the price there. Which was high compared to where I live, but that may not be the case now. So when you enter into the Ridge Top you'll see the Shell station right there and like I said, I believe it had diesel. If not, we're not far from a major roadway so SOMEONE has diesel somewhere. But I remember not being concerned about being low on fuel cause there was a station near by.

Default Rock Slide on the Dragon

Hey guys!! I just saw on our local news that there was a rock slide today on the "Dragon". One car didn't get stopped in time and ran into it. The section of the rock slide is located in Blount County, TN. Do y'all know if we go through that area? Good News is that they say the slide should be cleared up by this weekend. See this link of the crash.

I had the opportunity to speak to Charlene Fisher, the manager of the Everett St. Diner. I give her the scoop on our event and our quest for breakfast over the weekend. Here's the details

-Open for breakfast at 7:00
-the restaurant seats 70
-seating is on a first come, first serve basis.
-Although they don't take reservations, they would do their best to save some tables for us. Just give her advance notice and us being prompt to them making space for us .

Mrs, Fischer was very accommodating to my request for information and seemed happy to help us in any way possible. I told her that I would give her notice on our breakfast plans the beginning of the week of the event. She was very, very appreciative of that; she and her staff want to be prepared for the large crowd.

This diner was recommended to me by the lady at the front desk of the Ridge Top per a conversation we had today. She did mention a new restaurant called the Iron Skillet which has been around for about a year. She really didn't have much of a review on that joint, but gave high praises to the Everett St. Diner.

So gang, who's up for breakfast? I'll probably give Cup a cleaning Friday night so I don't have to worry about it in the morning. That way Val and I can get a good breakfast.
