[uvbnbit]

We're planning on meeting at The Smokehouse Restaurant(Mont Eagle Mtn I-24) Sat. late morning (11:00ish)Nov.1st for brunch. After that, we'll be cruising scenic Tenn. Valley Gorge for a couple of hours. Then, check-in at hotel, then dinner and a social evening. We're still in the planning stages...stay tuned

We have 15 rooms (10 King, 5 doubles) blocked at the Hampton Inn (423-821-5500) at Exit 174 off I-24 west of Chattanooga for Sat. Nov. 1.The rate is $84.60 and will be held till Oct. 15. Members can access the block by using Confirmation #84030038. The Chattanooga Hotels are filling up fast that weekend because of a rowing tournament.

Here's the updated itinerary:

Here is the proposed schedule: Take Exit 134 (Monteagle/41A) off I-24 and go West about 1/2 mile to the Smokehouse Restaurant on the left. Meet about 10:45 AM (Central time) for breakfast. We'll leave at noon and be at the Tennessee-Alabama Fireworks Store at Exit 158 off I-24 at 1:00 PM. Late arrivals could hook up with us there or call me (Joe-event host) 931-808-6070. Then its off to the TN River Gorge, up Signal Mtn., down into the Sequatchie Valley, arriving at the Hampton Inn (423-821-5500) by 5:30 (Eastern time) at Exit 174. We will leave at 6:45 for dinner at Mount Vernon. On returning to the Hampton, spirits are available right across the street. Sunday's schedule is open, but a cruise up Lookout Mtn. should be spectacular. SSSSee ya' ssssoon.

I'm trying like heck to get off. So far, I give it a 50/50 chance. Question though:

Why are we staying at a hotel? Someone call Tony and get the gate code for us! His "friend" wants to go as well. So, I'm sure that'll make Tony happy

 

[musicncars]

we will be there.....just trying to reach Hampton Inn, they dont want to answer the phone

 

[V10SpeedLuvr]

Ok, looks like I'm going Do we have Tony's gate code yet? If not, we can just draw straws and short straw uses their Viper to ram the gate until we knock it down

 

[uvbnbit]

No gate code yet. Shall we start suggestions on possible "passwords"??

reminder: MEETING TIME ON SATURDAY AT SMOKEHOUSE RESTAURANT IS CENTRAL TIME.

My guesses...."Ashley" or maybe "thong" or possibly, "freak"

I wiggle my way out of work and looks like I'll be getting up about the same time as I would for a work day. DOH!

 

[uvbnbit]

I think you're in the right mode there. possibly: "roses", "alcoholic", "tennis skirt",

"Hardees"

 

[uvbnbit]

"Hardees"

That's it! That's got to be the pass code. You're a genius, genius, I say. What else can we hack in to?

 

[musicncars]

Count us in, the room is booked!!!

 

[uvbnbit]

Right now, the weather forecast for Sat. is Sunny/66!

 

[musicncars]

nice......sounds like the top will be down.

 

[uvbnbit]

Just a reminder: Meeting time for lunch Sat is 10:45 CENTRAL time.

weather update: Sunny and 71

 

[V10SpeedLuvr]

Looking like me, a white mamba, b/w GTS coming from GA. Meeting us at the steakhouse will probably be a 08' Orange SRT, red RT/10, a red Roe GTS, and a 08' red/black ACR

 

[uvbnbit]

So what you're saying is, there will be more GA members than AL/TN members at an AL/TN event ?
Actually, this is turning out to be another "AL/TN/GA/VA/NC" rendezvous LET'S ROCK!

Hey Chip. I have tomorrow night off, so would I be a **** if I decided to join in on this? You know, let Beth crutch around house after Wyatt. The last Friday night I had off was when we went to the dragstrip.

No, you'd be a **** either way (you asked for that!). That would be awesome if you could make it. I don't guess it'll be an over-niter for ya? I think we're up to 15+ cars now. Dr Joe flew to Detroit yesterday to pick up his new ACR! Can't wait to see it. We're meeting at the usual spot in M'boro exit 81 9:30am

Dr. Joe bought an ACR? I was the person who told him he should buy 1 at the Pigeon Forge trip! Can I get my $1000 Dodge credit for referring him?
