Mid TN Fun Run #3 - 6/23/07

Hey guys, below is information regarding upcoming meet and drive we are getting organized. Please email me if you have any questions. Also, please email me if you are interested in attending so Ican add you to the dist list or email.

Proposed route?
OK, I have been thinking about the route for the next run and in the spirit of trying to keep things kind of centrally located between Nashville and Memphis, what do you all (those interested that is) think about meeting in Jackson, TN for brunch and then hitting the road when the gabbing starts to ebb a bit? We could meet at the Sonic off I-40 exit 80b, by the Home Depot (lots of parking right next to the Sonic, so plenty of room), and then driving the following route:

(SEE MAP BELOW!!!)

The drive should take 1.5-2 hours. We would end the route in the Natchez Trace State Park. There is easy access to I-40 exit 116 on the north end of the park, where we could part ways and head home. There could be photo op's at Pinson Mounds State Park, and at Natchez Trace State Park. I can go drive the route this week sometime and make sure the roads are decent. I don't mean to put it in my backyard so to speak, but it would be a convenient place to meet - we might even get some from north AL, north MS, east AR, and south KY. Please pass the word around and post the details from here anywhere you think would warrant it. Also, please email me if you are planning to attend or needs further details.
