Sunrise at Zentrum where everyone who was still here gathered for the Sunday drive

Tired of convoys, a few of us broke off and headed for the long route to the resort. There were three different routes setup so that not all would get to the lunch at the same time. I choose the long route of course.



Dieter Z managed to stave off attempts at passing by this one

The drive was great with lots of twisties, gorgeous scenery and many photo opportunities

 

Its quite evident why they are called the Great Smokey Mountains








The route went through many tunnels were Dieter Z and BabyZ showed off the Borlas, deafening all others in the tunnel with us. We were driving with Wayne who said they had a camera person with the group who may have grabbed some film and sound of the Borlas

Arriving at the resort, I was impressed with how gorgeous the place was - It was a beautiful mountain resort built of stone - both inside and out




A huge ballroom was setup for the lunch, and was continually filled as the Zs from the three different routes filtered in

After the lunch, we headed out on our own separate ways. While following BabyZ (1.9l), I noticed this one little discrepancy
