Summer Get Together in the Knoxville Area. (217)
The_Kansan: Cool! Right now we're figuring on August 16th (Saturday) on Melton Hill Reservoir (The Clinch River) just a few miles west of where we live. I still have to check the availability of a specific location, but it shouldn't be a problem.
We'll get more details as we go along and I'll be able to send specific directions, as well as my cell # just in case anyone gets confused.

I may come in that Friday after work, and get a hotel room, let me know if there is anything I can do to help get things set up.. will there be a cookout? If so should I chip in with some of the food?
cardsfan24: Will def try if i can, that would be a blast meetin all of ya, but last time i got hit with work and couldnt get off the road, right now im off the road but will let ya know as it gets closer to time.....
You know any good trucking companies that allow pets, and won't need 2 yrs exp?

Not right off hand, Stew, but I know they're out there. I got really lucky with the outfit I work for now - Strictly Southeast regional, I'm home every single weekend and usually a night or two during the week.
If nothing else, maybe you could luck into a run down here and then layover for the weekend - We're only about 8 miles west of the Pilot Truckstop at exit 117 off I-75. (I think maybe I could arrange to pick you up, or even give you directions to a closer place to park.)

As it stands right now, we're kinda' thinking about a using a caterer and then just hoping to recoup expenses. There are several motels in the area, as well as quite a few good camping areas.
Amongst other things, we're hoping to have a batch of Sassafras tea made up as part of the refreshments. I'll try to find my old ball glove (just in case) and maybe dig up a frisbee or two?
It's really sounding good, folks!!!
I am sooooooooooooooo looking forward to this hoe-down!!!!! Can't wait to meet all of you!!! I will finally be able to put a voice to some of the beautiful faces I see.
Time to hit the road - Anyone who's interested, keep on letting us know. If I'm not available, then Jackson should be around off and on to provide any additional info.

Thank you Don and Jackie for thinking of this! Too bad this ain't next year, me and my dad are heading to Knoxville next year for the speedway. Heard it's pretty good there :P

After the first mention, it seemed to take on a life of its own!
Glad you're planning to attend!

Well, maybe it will be such a success that we will have the "second annual" one next year! Regardless, drop us a line when you're in the neighborhood next year!

I hope you do have another one, it'd be nice for everyone to get together once in a while, well for those who live near there anyway :P
But definately will drop a line when we go.

That would be such an appropriate way to celebrate your anniversary every year, since you two met here! Congrats by the way! You give us all hope! -J

Why didn't I think of that?? (Maybe because being organized enough to think over a year out is entirely TOO organized for this old brain! 
)Looks like we'd best consider it, though so that Nessy can attend!
Thanks for the congrat's. The past 18 months (since meeting Don) have been the happiest of my life!
