Furloughed BOTD Run?

[swcrow]

So if this shutdown kicks off, I’ll immediately be on furlough which more than likely will cancel flying out to CO to see family…..

If that happens, anyone else in this predicament and want to go run Back of the Dragon?

I’d be down, but that drive out would be terrible.

Yeah you have to leave really early from our area….Tigeo and I left last time around 0530 ish

 

[CaptainRatty]

I just did 1400 miles round trip last week in SC/NC/TN/VA/KY/WV running in the mountains with some Miata buddies but I'm always up for more. We did BOTD on 2 different days and it was as great as ever. I work for the federal government as well but my position is "excepted" so I still have to report to work even if I won't get paid until the shutdown is over.

Look up how far it is for you to meet here:

78 Catawba Ave
Old Fort, NC 28762
United States

Brewery & official lunch spot of the mountain roads I’ve been hitting lately.

BOTD is fun, but Devils Whip & the surrounding area are the best I’ve found

Nice input Jake…. I’ll check it out!!

Cries in excepted employee.

Not a government employee but I technically do need to take a week off to comply with company policy.

 

[krs]

The gov is wack.

My division is completely exempt, business as usually, no furlough, and pay will be as if there’s no shutdown.

I was really hoping for a shutdown longer than last time… Bring it.

Oh well.

We did all of 80 down to Marion after coming across Roan Mountain on our last day. The Devils Whip section is entertaining but I don't think it's quite as fun as the upper section. Jake I don't know how far up 80 you venture but there is a great hole in the wall burger joint near the top called Bonnie and Clydes' located at 2660 NC-226, Bakersville, NC 28705.

Welp looks like I’ll be going back to work

I’ve been pressed for time so we only did the lower part between 40 & the parkway a few times (along with 226A, Three Mile Rd, ect).

My mom rented a cabin up there in a few weeks to get the family together, so I should have a chance to check that out.
