I am planning to bring the family, but now it is 7 and we have a Chrysler minivan - not a 4WD. We are likely to leave after 5PM. Black ice is a huge problem already tonight locally. I really don't want to risk problems, even if I'm bringing Saturday breakfast.
So, any locals up there knowing anything about road conditions in NoGa and between Blue Ridge and Murphy?

roads are clear today.

OB, I drove through Atlanta during rush hour Thursday night (also in a minivan) and hit a little patchy ice in the far left hand lane of I-85. The right hand lanes were clear. Once I got on I-985 and 441 the road was clear to Franklin. Since it supposed to warm up today, I don't anticipate any problems from here to NOC. Just take care on rt 74 from near Bryson City to NOC and you should be fine.
Oops, I see you're coming from the the side. Stay to the right on the main highways and keep it slow on 74 and you should be fine

Last minute (as always)...my wife and I will be enroute to NOC after lunch. Looking forward to seeing/meeting everyone.
I'm about to start making my way there. See yall in a bit!
Waiting on the Lady Bug and will be there with 5 kids this year. We are leaving a bit reluctantly - just learned one of her cats has cancer and isn't likely to be with us very much longer. Bringing the usual blueberry and pancake fare, tangerines, snacks and sodas.
And a great time was had by all! Thanks 4shot for all the advice and good wishes! Nice to meet so many folk for the first time.
yes, it was a great event, so nice to see so many ladies at the gathering on Saturday - thanks for a great company! Wonderful to see new faces, and hear new stories, as well as ones I know
A HUGE ROUND OF APPLAUSE for Sly, and all of his hard work making this happen. Thanks Sly, looking forward to next year

I had an absolutely wonderful time. Such a great bunch of people. Having only been once before in 2009 and not really knowing anyone except Cuffs and who doesn't know Cuffs, I was made to feel very welcome and a part of the group. I enjoyed meeting and talking with so many. Thanks everyone.
I am not young enough to know everything.
Great to be with the AT family! So many friends. I took a side trip to Joyce Kilmer...but here is a short vid with some snippets from the SORUCK:
