DGRR Caravan Routes

Kentetsu · 03-30-2009, 02:35 PM

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

HDP · 03-30-2009, 04:06 PM

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.

I guess we'll catch you down there

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

DRTHVDR · 03-31-2009, 01:46 PM

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

classicauto · 03-31-2009, 02:17 PM

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

HDP · 03-31-2009, 04:13 PM

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

***Herblenny*** · 03-31-2009, 04:22 PM

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.

sk8world · 03-31-2009, 04:54 PM

yeah, you guys leaving Thursday doesnt help! DON!

***TitaniumTT*** · 03-31-2009, 11:05 PM

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.
