weather permitting, i'm going to drive down to the mountain cruise with the georgia gang next sunday(as of now it's still sunday).

any of you guys wanna get out of town for a day and drive down with me.

mapquest says about 225 to get where they're gonna meet, and then someone said another 2.5 or 3 hour cruise through the mountains.
