This mildly spirited beer run takes us through the Nantahala Gorge to 28 towards Franklin dangerously close to Lazy Hiker, but that’s another run. We go on to Wayah Road across to Hoppy Trout in Andrews for beer and pizza. Bonus stop for anyone interested is Buck Bald in Murphy for dessert.

In case the group is split, we’ll regroup west of Franklin at the Wayah/Murphy/Patton Rds intersection so everyone has a chance to catch up.
