Hey Charley,
Just FYI, my Brother and a couple of his coworkers left Fri. morning headed to Deal's Gap. Had to turn around Sat. morning and come back home. Seems they stopped for the night around Athens Ga. then got as far as Commerce Ga. (sp?) and couldn't find any gasoline anywhere! They rode 70 miles before they just happened on a station that was getting thier delivery right then. When the pumps opened up, they had to wait in line for an hr & a half. Plus the station cut you off at $20. Witch was ok for bikes. He called our Uncle who lives in Franklin NC & he said it was about the same there. Anyway they didn't want to chance getting caught miles from any gas & running out. Maybe it'll be better in a couple weeks.

Hey cHarley,
I am just south of 20 in Atlanta and I can bring you some fuel if you need it. PM me and I'll send you my contact info. You should be good to go in a couple of weeks though. you might want to bring a bottle of octane boost in case you can only find 87.

LOL!!! Drinking and playing poker are not conducive to winning, ask me how I know this.
Charley, in two weeks, the gas situation should have resolved itself but there are any number of us in the Atlanta area who would be glad to help you out should the need arise. Just keep us posted on your plans and if you're going to be veering over towards Atlanta way instead of through Athens.
