Cashiers NC – Cruise to Ugly Dog Lunch
September 5 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
All, we are changing the date for the trip to the Ugly Dog Tavern in Cashiers to September 5th. Yes, we realize we have a meeting that night, but this date works much better for several club members. Please RSVP with me via email (and When moved on the calendar there also)! Harry and Vicky have a great scenic route planned and will lead us. Meet up details will be provided very soon.
Depart from Bojangles Jefferson GA at 8:00 AM
Exit #137 on I-85 North onto GA-129. Go right at exit and go one block U turn at light to Bojangles on the corner. Two gas stations on opposite corners to fill up. Yes you’ll need close to a full tank round trip.
We will do some back roads from Pendergrass GA to near Dillard GA. We should stop at Sky Valley Overlook on NC-246 for photo op.
With 2 and probably 3 restroom gas stations pit stops and the Overlook stop for 15 minutes for photo ops it is a 3+ hour drive. Thus the 8:00 AM depart time.
After lunch we can visit Dry Falls and maybe Bridal Veil falls two of the many fantastic NC waterfalls. Dry Falls isn’t too strenuous with concrete paved steps and path walk. Bridal Veil is right at edge of road if any parking spots open.
We will go to Ugly Dog in Cashiers NC for lunch which is 18 minutes further from Highlands to Cashiers. Food quality and portions are very good.
After lunch for those who desire we can visit Dry Falls on Hwy 64 E – 4 miles outside downtown Highlands. Fairly easy decent traversing path from parking lot to the waterfall. You can walk behind the waterfall! Not too strenuous to get back up to the cars. Plan is to do waterfalls after lunch for 30-45 minutes before return drive homeward. Other waterfall we pass is Bridal Veil but they no longer allow to drive behind the falls.

For those detail oriented and want to know route details here it is. Vicky and Harry Taylor routed and did this drive in June. Fun to be had. Several roads are very nice curvy for our Corvettes!
We will do back roads from Pendergrass GA on GA-82 and GA-323 to get to GA-985 to GA-441. Then GA-197 and GA-76 to get to just south of Dillard GA. Back again on GA-441/23. Then Hwy 246 to Highlands NC.
We should stop at Sky Valley Overlook on NC-246 for photo op.
Once at Highlands NC ongoing another 18 miles to Cashiers NC. Perhaps also use backroads instead of main route to Cashiers.
