MOTD Thursday caravan out of Cincinnati

Just like last year, vdubdoug, rlnewby & I will be meeting up at the first Kentucky exit as you cross the Ohio River on I-75 heading south at 7AM Thurs. morning (May 1st) at the Cork & Bottle wine/liquor store. Map is below. Would love to have others join us if you can as we head down to the Dragon.

The link doesn't appear to work (only goes to Google map home).

What route are you taking to the Dragon and what time do you hope to arrive? I'm leaving Indianapolis around 5am, so your meet time would be perfect for me, but I'm considering a detour into Fontana, such as via the Cherohala Skyway, and/or trying to make good time and arrive by 2ish, so I can do a little hiking on the Appalachian Trail on Thursday afternoon.

Let me know, I may decide to join up!

I edited the link - thanks for the heads up. Last year we went straight to the Dragon (quickest route - I-75 to Knoxville then 129 all the way to Deal's Gap). We got there somewhere around 1:30PM with a lunch break in Knoxville.

Terry! How have you been? No, we are not at Blue Waters this year. Doug snagged a Fontana cabin that we are sharing this year with some other CinciMINI members. We need to hang out again. As soon as I get info on the cabin, I will PM you where we are. Can you say after Brew Swap party?

-Greg

Sounds like fun to drive together, but We will not be heading out until after 12 noon on Thursday, May 1st. We will see you at Fontana. This is our first MOTD event.

Congrats on the Clubman! Hot Chocolate is "the" color IMHO. Hope to meet up with you at Fontana. CinciMINIs radio channel at MOTD is 15 sub 15. Check out the club: http://www.cinciminis.com/news.asp

Bump for last minute potential hook-ups! REMEMBER, when driving, have your two-way radios tuned to the MINI channel 7 sub 21 so you can call out to other MINIs you see.
