Campbell Run, take 4!! Trip to GA, NC, TN to DRIVE!!

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???

 

I'll be arriving at the cabin on the 22nd, and leaving on the 26th. Really looking forward to it!

BT

 

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.

 

Hey man....... pencil us in for dinner on Thursday evening, the 22nd!! Also, if you and/or some of your customers want to join us for the driving on Friday-Sunday, that would be great!! Looking forward to seeing ya'!!

 

The cabin rental is done. Ready to rock and roll!!!

BT

 

have fun!! look forward to seeing video and pictures! hope someone has a camera mount ; )

One of these yrs I will definitely go. Gotta keep priorities straight.

 

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.

 

Anyone feel like taking me?

I'm good with photography!

All kidding aside, I WANT A FERRARI SO DAMN BAD. Could only imagine what it's like up there.

Have fun and be safe!

 

We're on. Sounds great!

 

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.

BT

 

Just sent you a PM. I'm in as long as it doesn't screw up your plans. Email me or PM me with what I need to do.

 

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!!

 

I'm in - PM sent

 

Check your PM's

 

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!

Thanks Fred, id love to go but finances are not in place right now. Definitely will make it up with you guys one of these trips. Id be there if I could but priorities call. Hope you guys top your last trip! May you have empty roads and great weather

 

I'm going to be at VIR that weekend, you guys going to venture close to there?

 

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.

Hey guys, I am back in the mountains(Cold Mnt). where are you all going to be? Your more then welcome to stop by - I am just off the Lake Logan exit(RT 215) on the Blue Ridge
John

 

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.

BT

 

I'll pm my phone # - You all are welcome to stop at my place for lunch

 

Sounds like a plan.

BT

 

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!

 

Venison stew for Easter??? Glad you didn't get hurt.
