We had a great time on our Spring Drive in Little Switzerland this year! We had 17 cars. On Friday, we went to Mt. Mitchell by the Blue Ridge Parkway, and then drove part of the Devil’s Whip and the Devil’s Staircase. We ate lunch at Western Sizzlin’ in Spruce Pine, then drove the Diamondback on our way back to the motel. On Saturday, we drove some very curvy roads to Greeneville, TN. We ate lunch at Ma & Pa’s Family Restaurant and then visited the City Garage Car Museum. Thanks to Allen Morrison of Honey Branch Photography for taking our pictures as we drove the Diamondback!
