We belong to the most marvelous Porsche Club! The Appalachian PCA does an outstanding job of organizing monthly day time drive and dine events to interesting locales with friendly, welcoming members.
This past weekend we meet up and as is typical, there were two groups of about 10 cars each. Each one has as a leader and a sweeper who keep track of everyone in between via hand held radios. As you can see, the weather didn't look like it would cooperate.
We all headed to Lake Lure for Pontoon boat rides with the hopes of a sunny, warm day with beautiful fall color. It wasn't sunny and it definitely wasn't warm but for the most part it didn't rain. No real color either.
Our group filled 5 boats, trolling the lake and enjoying the wonders of our smoky mountains region. Lake Lure is famous for being the filming location of the movie "Dirty Dancing", none of the iconic buildings are still standing. This fact may be a surprise to many since it's assumed it was created in upstate New York.
As we headed back to the dock, the next stop was to be a lovely group lunch. However 'the husband' has been experiencing dreadful pain again, so unfortunately we bade goodbye so he could get home and rest.

Sorry your trip had to end...but so glad you both got to enjoy this weekend event!
Those clouds are right on top of you. What a fun event. When I visited our son and daughter-in-law in Charlotte in August, he rented a pontoon boat on Lake Norman and we went out for most of the day. It was beautiful, and the water so warm. Not the mountainous area you are in, but still lovely. I'm so sorry your day ended- your husband's pain management is a constant for him and you. Glad you can still stay active with the group and adjust as needed.
