TEENERPALÜZA Driving Event - Sept 24-27, 2020, Post Your Photos - see post #99 Options

[poorsche914]

Feeling the need to get out and drive? Missing that interaction with other teeners? Mark your calendars for September 24-27, 2020 and join other 914 owners for some fantastic driving in beautiful east Tennessee.

This fall, head to the mountains of east Tennessee to celebrate 50 years of the Porsche 914 in America. The drive will be based in “action packed” Pigeon Forge, TN – home to Dollywood, outlet shopping, music theaters, moonshine distilleries, mini golf and go-karts! What more could you ask for?

Roads? You’re asking for roads? Well, then… how does close proximity to some of the best roads in the southeast – Foothills Parkway (including The Missing Link), The Dragon, Moonshiner 28, Cherohala Skyway, Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Blue Ridge Parkway – sound?

FRIDAY DRIVE: We’ll enter the newest section of Foothills Parkway in Wears Valley and travel west to US129 / The Dragon. From there, the drive takes us into North Carolina along Moonshiner 28. Photo op at Fontana Dam and then break for lunch and free drive afterwards. Hit The Dragon multiple times or take the scenic Cherohala Skyway.

SATURDAY DRIVE: A day of leisurely scenic driving in Great Smoky Mountains National Park and a portion of Blue Ridge Parkway. Lunch in Maggie Valley and then return the way we came. Plenty of pullouts to enjoy the scenic beauty of the Smokies.

Feel free to join us for the entire weekend or meet up with us for one of the drives. The main goal of this event is to bring 914 enthusiasts together to enjoy driving mountain roads. And with Pigeon Forge as the base of operations, there is plenty to do while not driving.

hey Steve, i may have a friend coming with but he's not really interested in the shirt etc, but may change his mind once he sees it, anyway Jim has been up to Okteenerfest before, and found out he will be able to get the time off and come up. If he doesnt want a shirt, is there any reason to "register"? just riding along -
Oh and i hope your temps cool off in the next 2 weeks, looks a little warm still.... i know you cant control the weather but..., but it does not matter, we will be driving teeners in the trees!! - is there a good place to go hang out outside in the evening like up in Helen along the creek?(with room for proper social distancing of course as well).

Looking forward to it,

Phil
