We still plan on departing northern Virginia on Tuesday morning the 18th, and riding/driving to the vicinity of Tazewell, VA for the night. The trip is being planned around available EV charge stations, as it is looking more likely that will be our mode.
Wednesday morning, we expect to leisurely follow the Rt 16 -- aka 'Back of the Dragon' back to I-81, and on into Maggie Valley via I-26 (Ashville, NC), I-40.
If in the EV, there is a charge station at the Maggie Valley town hall, and though it is the slower one, it is within walking distance of A Holiday, and I would expect to leave the car there, and watch on the phone app for charge completion, then go move the car back to the motel.
Full, the car should give us in excess of 200 miles. Thursday morning, we expect to follow this route:
MV --> Tail of the Dragon --> Cherohala Skyway --> Oconaluftee Visitor Center (DC Fast Charger location) --> MV [and repeat the top-off at the town hall].
We can take two passengers if anyone were interested in joining us for that circuit Thursday morning.
I haven't thought any more beyond that, other than being around (like Mother Goose tales)
@JoseyR3Wales et. al., wonderful nourishment.
Comments (constructive) and suggestions welcome.
So looking forward to meeting all you good folks.
