    BT and I are trying to finalize plans for the upcoming Campbell run......... and, we need to know if anyone else is 100% committed to going so we can plan accordingly!!

    If you haven't ever driven the amazing roads of NC, GA, and TN, then you don't want to miss this trip!! Several days of driving, accomodations in a cabin in the mountains, and lots of fun!!!

    Looking at going April 22-25th....... Who else is IN???

    This past Saturday I took a small group on a mountain drive that was about 180 miles. The roads are clear (no gravel/sand left over from winter) and the traffic was minimal. You guys picked a great time to get up here.

    Dave, you really should join us........YOU of all people like driving, and the roads up there are like NOTHING you have ever seen before!! It's fairly inexpensive, especially if you drive up in your car. The cabin is dirt cheap, and so is food while there. The biggest expense is gas/tolls.

    Have fun and be safe!

    We are planning on coming up I-75 to GA-5 / I-575 then GA-515. Any chance of meeting someplace simple to access with trailers along that route? If not, no biggie. We can just meet at the dealership like previous trips. Of course, I would prefer to meet you for a full day of driving.

    PM replied.......

    Awesome!! There's plenty of room at the cabin, and plenty of BBQ at the restaurants.......hope you join us!!

    If you're going, let me know asap b/c we need to arrange how you and your car will get up to GA. If you're going and you want to ship the car & fly up, let me know and I will arrange it & do the same with you. If, however, you want to drive up or take care of your own logistics, then I will trailer my car up. Let me know!!

    3 weeks to go!!!!! Can't wait!! :)

    Just had a funny conversation with Lisa...
    Me: "So it looks like there will be three of us going driving in the mountains."
    Lisa: "What are you talking about?"
    Me: "Remember on Saturday when I told you I was going driving."
    Lisa: "You said you might go sometime. You better check the calendar, there is lots of stuff going on this month."
    Me: "I already checked and my drive is on the calendar."
    Lisa: "Uh, you are acting like it has been there for 8 months, but I know you just wrote it in about 5 minutes ago."
    Me: "Yeah, that's true. I'm excited about the drive!"

    A classic from CR#1. Frito pie just off the Cherohola Skyway!
    :D

    We are planning on some SW Tennessee, north Georgia, and SW North Carolina (farthest north is probably Hot Springs, NC). I don't know where VIR is.

    Unless the weather prevents it, I plan on having NC 215 as part of our route on one of the days (It is one of my three favorite roads). It would be cool to meet you for lunch. I think Fred has your number. Hope to see you in about three weeks. I'm moving my office today, I should be reconnected to the web by tomorrow morning.

    I just got back from a week in the mountains. We had a GREAT time--except for the deer we hit. We hired a guide and went fly fishing and on the way home we nailed a 150# female at 45mph. My Dad's car was pretty beat up. Moral of the story--be careful when you're driving!

    wow!! what kind of car were you driving? hope everyone was ok. That is why I always avoid driving at night. I had to drive to ga to visit my gmom in hospital really late at night and I was dodging deer for 8 hours...was very bad!! I was in the nsx also, so the deer would have won that battle!
