I love most types of parties .

But during my time in the military I quickly learned that I don't like GI Parties .

Meeting with you guys in Erwin would work though.....
Well that is because we have not posted anything yet. It's only Feb 1!!!

It will likely be just as last year, leaving Pittsburgh early afternoon, drive to Erwin, TN, sleep, wake and drive the rest of the way....

Where are you staying?

For MOTD, we lucked out and got a room at Fontana Village. As far as the drive down, we were just going to drive to Knoxville or Asheville and find the safest looking place on hotels.com or something.

Since it sounds like there's a chance we can make it for the caravan from P-Burgh (or meet up enroute since we're in State College) we might just "hook" up with you guys.

Plano. TX a little over 900 miles. Probably leave on Sat and stop in either Nashville or Knoxville for the night to arrive on Sunday. Gives me a few days of low traffic in the area. Oh yeah and go to a wedding.

Debating on bringing a set of Hoosiers this year too...

Coming from west of Indy. This will be our 5th MOTD. Don't know what route we will take yet, may make a stop in SE KY then head on down via 25E. Should be there Tuesday. Same cabin as last year too (as far as I know).
