We'll be leaving Grand Rapids, Michigan in the wee hours of Thursday morning and plan to drive straight through...

Ok, so none of the locals posted departure times or checkpoint ETAs. Well, me and DeeDee are leaving Huntsville Thursday at 1:00 PM CST and arrive in Chattanooga between 2:30 & 3:00 PM CST (3:30 & 4:00 PM EST). We will be travelling Hwy 72E to I-24E into Chattanooga, I-75N to Hwy 74E and then onto Nantahala/Bryson City. Unless we are meeting up with others along this route, the only stops we plan to make are fuel and maybe a bite to eat. With that said, our ETA should be about 6:00 PM EST.

Don, you are going Thursday?

Yes I plan to.

I guess so, that's a shame. Doesn't appear to be anyone heading down from the NE that I could hook up with. Shame, I was hoping to use a few FD's as radar shields ;)

You could always meet us for breakfast in Cincinnati Friday morning. Some people want Bob Evan's. I say OVERPRICED and shit for food. If I'm going to be forced to eat shit, I want to pay a fair price for it. (FYI Canucks, American chains have shit for food.)

What's your timing schedule to arrive at Nantahala Titanium???

There are quite a few people coming down from NE.. Check the other forums (NE section or DGRR section of 8 or 7club).

Daniel started us on the bob evans! I didn't mind it - they didn't force feed me grits like the awful house :lol:

I'm suggesting we go with a local breakfast place instead of a chain.
Any coney island or family dinner will do.

you won't hear any arguments from me. greasy spoon FTW

Hmm, doesn't appear to be much organized as a whole, which really sux... I guess the fun will begin once everyone arrives.

Well, Unfortunately because some of us are leaving at different times, its hard to organize a BIG caravan..

Best is to post a time and try to work out amoung locals..

I'll set up a detail gathering for Friday, saturday, and part Sunday.

I'll post something by this friday.

yeah, you guys leaving Thursday doesnt help! DON!

Yeah, I was actually the one that suggested that we leave thursday night....... then an account that an ADMIN gave to me was perma-banned again by a second admin that has a bit of a napolean complex so I gave them the ole' finger. I'll check the 8 club though.

Cincinatti you say..... that's ~11 hours for me. The trip to DGRR should take me about 13.

Arrival time depends on what time I get outta bed and the coffee kicks in on Friday morning. I'd like to arrive by 3-4 which means I need to be back on the road ~ 8 depending on how long I travel thursday night. Probably going to go till I can't go no more and find the nearest Marriot or Hilton etc. I sense alot of loud music and redbull that night

Phil, let me know when you are heading out. Me and Hobby are planning on rolling out Thrusday morning as well.
