Southern Middle Tennessee Back Hills Whiskey/Moonshine Run; October 3, 4, & 5, 2014
Since our relocation to Tennessee I’ve found many great driving roads that I’m sure most of the family would enjoy so, I’ve put together this Mini Meet that will start with a huge exotic Cars n’ Coffee, then cover 200+ miles, 250+ curves, 2 Distilleries and close with dinner on top of a 1,800 foot mountain.
Anybody interested?
The base for this event is my place in Manchester, TN, located near equal distance from Nashville, TN Chattanooga, TN and Huntsville, AL. The city of Manchester is only 10K in population and Tullahoma that is just as close is about 18K. Both cities have several hotels with costs as low as $40. Per night and it’s not bad (I stayed there for a few weeks in the relocation).
Below is the itinerary with Saturday being a drive day, all day. Aside from the beginning run to Nashville Cars n’ Coffee the roads will be 2 lane back country roads with 55 mph speed limits except passing through several smaller towns. If you’re interested in a more in-depth look, check out my GoPro thread in the ZHP Picture forum, as I’ve captured much of this on Video. You can also check out the stops along the way here. http://www.georgedickel.com/, http://www.jackdaniels.com/whiskey, & http://thesmokehouse.com/
