I need to be in Winston-Salem, NC this coming weekend. I'm trying to work out a run to either "Thunder in the Smokies" or "Cherokee Survivors" Rally on the way. I've never been to either. I also want to see Wheels of Time before it leaves. I think I can get to WOT on Thursday. I may only have Friday and part of Saturday for a rally. What are the highlights of each event? I've been reading the blogs but I'm not getting a consistent picture, which is probably accurate. What's your favorite and why?
