The fall driving season is the best of all in my opinion. The searing
heat of the summer behind us. Cool evenings and pleasant temperatures through
the day. Great working weather and perfect for convertibles and motorcycles.
So many events happen this time of year I put together just a short note
to let you know what’s happening in the Tennessee area over the next few
months. Please
notice that the info for this weekends tour has changed since the last
newsletter. The is an ancient car tour (i.e. 1900-1920’s) that is coming
through this area the same weekend as we will be there so the B&B is
full. Andy has put a lot of work into this trip and the roads through this
part of Tennessee are some of the best in the state so I hope to see all
of you out for this one. Notice it is on Saturday with an early starting
time.
