North Georgia in say...Octoberish?

Leaving early Thursday morning to meet with the Duk in Lexington Ky. We will take off Friday morning early (depending on the duk ) ride towards Pigeon Forge then up over the mountain on 441 to Cherokee and then Maggie Valley. I chose this route because I do not think Paul has road that way yet.
 
Is the famous Vaquero from Oklahoma back in???
 
Why does everybody leave me off the list? I may take offense and not turn up.
 


Don't go through Cherokee. That place has turned into a massive mess since the casino's have moved in.
