TVFC Mystery Cruise:
As the Hodges,
Dinsmores and Hursts waited in the back lot of the diner in Athens, we kept wondering
where we were going...we were excited and looking forward to finding out.
Our fearless leaders, David and Mary Wagner, pulled into the back lot
and surprised us with finding out that we were cruising to Tellico Plains to cruise on the
Cherohala Skyway.
It was a beautiful morning, just beginning to warm up and we were ready
to go. The drive was really nice and we decided to cruise to the NC line and then come
back for lunch. We stopped at several scenic overlooks, and the only thing missing was the
wonderful fall colors as most had already fallen off the trees at that altitude. We did
see bear hunters…hard to believe that someone would actually go looking for trouble
like that!
We stopped at the Nut-n-Fancy
restaurant in Tellico, sort of looked like a old boarding house, and the good times and
great conversations reminded me of Miss. Mary Bobo’s in
Once again, a big “Thank you” to David and Mary Wagner for
the wonderful idea of a "Mystery Cruise" and I hope that we have many more of
them.

Turkey Run, Daytona Speedway, FL:
The mornings were brisk and chilly,
but the afternoons were pleasant and sunny for the 2009 Daytona Turkey Run on Nov.
26-29th. With over 4300 cars registered in the show, and hundreds in the sale corral,
there were plenty of cars to look at. Hundreds of vendors gave all an opportunity to hunt
for elusive parts. The Tennessee Valley Chapter was well represented: Dave and Mary
Wagner, Marilyn and Danny McMahan, Molly and Buddy McKee, David and Joyce Hodge and Donnie
Ellis all attended. Thanks again to the Suncoast Chapter for securing such great parking
for the 12 Falcons attending.
