  • On Friday, August 27th club members met at the Brass Lantern under beautiful bright and sunny skies (Kathy’s rain dance worked!) for a spirited adventurous drive (when we didn’t have logging trucks, electrical workers and Sunday drivers in front of our group!). 15 cars containing 27 members (we were joined by 4 guests once we arrived at the restaurant) traveled along beautiful Tennessee roads – across hills, over mountains, through valleys, all the while thoroughly enjoying the thrill of the curves! We ate at Smoky Mountain Brewery In Maryville – where our large group was promptly greeted, seated and fed in record time! After lunch, some departed and headed off on their own, while we continued in with a smaller group towards home and a stop for delicious ice cream in Harriman. We had a great time together and look forward to our next adventure!

    Thanks to Roger and Kathy for leading!!

  • Thursday August 19th Plateau Corvette Club members Cruise the Mountains, Valleys and Rivers that Tennessee is Famous For, It was an unique cruise through the countryside that encompasses some beautiful Tennessee scenery.

    A stop was made at the Children’s Holocaust Memorial in Whitwell Tennessee. Afterwards they stopped for lunch near Chattanooga at Edly’s Barbeque – where they serve some of the BEST BBQ in the South and a brisket that will “melt in your mouth”.

    Thanks to Roger and Kathy for a great drive and the pictures.

    Ready to Ride
    Nine Corvettes, all in a row – dodging rain drops (at least it’s not snow!)
  • Our “we just wanna drive” – N – dine Cruise was a blast! 5 cars with 10 people started off together at 8:30 am headed to Tullahoma for “Corvette Days” at Stan McNabb Chevrolet – hosted by Middle Tennessee Corvette Club. On our way, we traversed some of the original HWY 1 which ran from Bristol to Memphis, drove through an area where the Confederate Army did maneuvers during the civil war, drove by the headwaters of the Stones River. In Woodbury we drove through some beautiful countryside together!

    On the second part our our journey from Stan McNabb’s Chevrolet to Monells at the Manor – was also a beautiful ride – we went through Bell Buckle and Wartrace on our way to Nashville – boy it got HOT – 98 – but it was a great ride!

    Once we got to Monells, we were seated at the restaurant, the food came fast and furious! All plates were loaded up and ready to be consumed in what seemed like seconds!

    Roger outdid himself picking a superb route – both coming and going- for this adventure; if you weren’t with us, you were missed – we hope you can come along next time! Great times, great ride, great friends – wonderful memories!

    Thanks to Roger and Kathy for a great drive and pictures!!

  • Five Corvettes and ten people traveled along some absolutely beautiful backroads – over mountains and hills, through scenic valleys enroute to our destination (all the while dodging rain drops and really ugly storm clouds)  – first to McCutchen’s Magnolia House restaurant for some really good down home cookin’ Next, onto Unclaimed Baggage where we all did a little bit of treasure hunting,  combing through racks and aisles full of “stuff” The ride home was as beautiful as the ride there – but, there is NO place like our beautiful state of Tennessee and its mountains and hills…..we had the “patriotic” thing going with the cars lined up red, white and blue – and we all thought we would make it back home without hitting any rain – but alas, it dumped on us.

     Thank you to our leaders – Dennis and Carol and Roger and Kathy for the pictures and words.

    Rain on the way !!
  • Wednesday, July 14th, Plateau Corvette Club members joined John and Reggie for a “back roads cruise” to Jacob Myers Restaurant on the River in Dayton, Tennessee, for lunch. Thanks to John and Reggie for a fun day and great pictures.

  • Wednesday, June 30th, the Plateau Corvette Club “Cruised along to celebrate this day in history”  – June 30, 1953 – the Birth of the Corvette. They enjoyed the curves, the sun and the comradery of friends getting together to celebrate  the Corvette and just have fun! They had lunch at Casa Grande in Gainesboro which everyone said they enjoyed. They cruised with more curves and beautiful scenery on the way back home – and, of course – a stop for ice cream at Cream City in Cookeville.

    Thanks to Roger and Kathy for a great drive and pictures.

  • July 9th Plateau Corvette Club members took a leisurely drive down Hwy 70 and 55 to the Jack Daniels distillery, Their they took the dry tour and after the tour they had lunch at the Twisted Oak Restaurant outside of Smithville, TN.

    A little rain didn’t dampen their drive

  • Saturday June 26th Plateau Corvette Club members went on “Norm and Gail’s Sparta Adventure”, it was a well attended drive and dine – with nine cars and fourteen members who cruised the scenic backroads together, ultimately arriving at a Plateau Corvette Club favorite destination – Calfkiller Brewery. Although they were not able to take a tour (dang! All sold out ) – the group spent a little time and enjoyed not only the beautiful day, but friendship, camaraderie. After leaving the Calfkiller, they enjoyed a short, scenic drive to Yannis Grill, also in Sparta. The food there is always good!

    Thanks to Norm and Gail for a fun drive and great pictures!!
