I normally come all the way from ft. lauderdale when i do the drive but i take

I-95n --> I-26w --> I-40w --> US19/74 (or take I-40 to the US281 into maggie valley)

You dont really go through any MAJOR cities going this way and is only about 6 hours from jax idk how long your way takes

Well what ever is best. I'm gonna try and talk Rich into coming up also.

I just remember last year taking Nicks Super secret short cut (The Garmin DIdn't even know where we were) and it took almost 12 efing hours. Jessie I'm good with meeting you and riding up, I'll shoot you my cell number

I remember doing the I-75 thing all the way up to TN, then shooting over via the Cherohala. Got stuck in super gridlock four times. 18 hour drive later I was in Robbinsville, mad tired.

I think final route will be dictated by prevailing traffic conditions at the time. Most states publicize construction projects, which is usually the biggest concern (other than random accidents of course).

Too bad none of my CFL-ers are interested.
 
Just booked my room for the 17th-20th. Not to bad of a price, for a double.:party:
I'm gonna get some more guys from a round here to trek up there with me.
 
I'm just leaving Friday morning, I don't weather well driving through the night on no sleep. I've posted on my other board too, there is some buzz going on there, So we'll see who shows. I'll keep you posted.

Think we outta make this in a pit stop thread?

Yes indeed. While I was going a few over (I was right near MM#11 where you go downhill towards the lake, and there is/was a speed limit increase) the super trooper chased my slow-driving-arse down saying he got me on Laser going 18 over (I was going about 38mph, he said 48 if I recall). My detector was screaming KA band, so I know he way lying. I even pointed out to him (and the three other troopers who showed up, including a supervisor) that he indeed had a Stalker RADAR gun sitting on his front seat. I asked to see his alleged "laser gun," after which the citing trooper got real quiet, and his supervisor declined stating they'd bring it to court.

Basically, the $238 THP extorted from me that day is the last Tennessee will get.

Do they patrol it between 11pm and 3 am? The only way to fly.......

:)
 
I wanna go but I doubt my long term (nearly abandoned) Super Duper TwinCharged SVT FTMFW project will be finished.

Frigg it. I'll ride the Schwinn.

Edit - I used Post number 1000 here? I suck.
