Okay, it's early and nobody is even thinking about joining me in my annual trip to Maryville to meet the OKI contingent as they come staggering in. As usual, we'll wander out of the Wildwood Grill parking lot around 1:30ish, drive the Dragon at some ridiculously sedate pace and head to the Exxon in Maryville. Once the OKI group manages to get to the Exxon, we'll leave Maryville in a motley group and go to dinner at Park Grill in Gatlinburg.
After dinner, we'll split up into two groups (the slow group and the old fogey group) and drive the Dragon at night.

You know the procedure, just post if you're interested and eventually I'll get around to adding your name to the list of usual suspects who join me in this twice a year quest.

Committed (or maybe should be):

1. kgf3076 (Ken)
2. GUTI007 (Justin and Melody)
3. Derka (Derek and Tiffany)
4. S2K Dude (Dave)
5. Artin

 

I promise the OKI group will be there by 7:00 PM this time! ....

Well... if traffic is bad on I-75... or I see a new liquor store..... we may be a little late!

 

You mean like normal? We'll bring tents and sleeping bags so we can be ready when you finally arrive.

 

Mel and I, as always, are IN!

I have a dream of SC-ing the S and adding a hitch to be able to tow a small color matched tear drop camper...maybe one day we can incorporate that into waiting for OKI...

 

You mean kinda like this??!!

 

Which one is yours?

 

Jay! That's the greatest thing I've seen so far in 2018. Yes, EXACTLY what I'm talking about...

 

Get the cops to block 321 for us, when we pull outta EXXON heading for Gatlinburg for dinner..

.

 

I'll ask nicely.

 

Anyone else going to tag along with Ken?

Park Grill will be calling me in a week or so for our number of diners!
