A little more information:
I think we need to be rolling from The Cave at 2:00pmish at the very latest.

Directions From the Cave:

https://www.mapquest.com/directions/...-bbq-304631146

It is ~ 4 1/2 Hrs from The Cave to the Dragon Pitt Inn.

I am suggesting we have wheels turning from the Dragon Pitt Inn by 8:30AM
It is ~40 minutes from the Dragon Pitt Inn to Chilhowee Lake pull-off. I suggest we take pictures and ground ourselves for the Dragon. Just ahead lies Tabcat Bridge and the start of The Tail of the Dragon.

From Tabcat to the gate is the classic 11 miles of the Tail. However, many locals consider a full run to be the 23 miles that takes you down to Tapoco Lodge.

After lunch and maybe one more pass, we head out Moonshiner28 (intersects at Deals Gap). Moonshiner28 takes us to Highlands, NC in ~2.5 Hours.

We have time for a break and relax (ice cream anyone?). We take 106 south out of Highlands, NC and ~30 minutes to the Dillard House. I think this will take at least an hour due to the great pull-offs and picture locations.

Dinner and conversation at The Dillard House.
