Dont_Look_Now: I probably missed it, but....what are we supposed to bring with us? Food and such wise?


Unless somebody wants diet soda or something special, you don't really need to bring anything but yourselves - We're making arrangements to feed everyone (menu to be finalized later) and just hoping to re-coup our initial expenses.

That way nobody has to worry about toting a bunch of foodstuffs, etc... across a couple of states. -- Just makes things simpler that way.

Still got my fingers crossed for ya' Stew!

(And I'll mention again that if you can get a load coming to the Knoxville area, I'll make sure you've got a good place to park and then I'll give you a ride to the doins and back to your truck afterwords.)

Yep, sure would. And you won't find prettier country to camp in this side of the Rockies!

The_Kansan: Yeah, but it's just in downtown Knoxville - They're about 4 months into a 14 month project to widen I-40 through downtown. It won't affect our get-together.


So I can assume the construction will be after the 275 bypass, because if I am not mistaken 40 and 75 come together on the SSW side of Knoxville? dunno

That's up to you, I guess, me, I'm just gonna wear an old pair of denim shorts & a non-see thru-when-it-gets-wet t-shirt. Might wanna bring a towel but that's about all you'll need.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot!!! I would recommend wearing old sneakers instead of sandels.

Ok, let's see... The construction is on I-40 in the downtown area, between I-275 and and I-40 @ I-640east. So you'll take I-75 to I-40 East (75 & 40 do run together for a bit), then take the I-640 bypass East to I-75 North, then about 20 miles later you'll be at the exit for Norris Dam State Park (exit 128). (And no one - North, East, South or West - will have to worry about the construction project at all.)

I'll make a point of e-mailing specific directions to everyone with the possible exception of Darlynda (because she probably knows more about Norris Dam State Park than I do!laugh) before the event. Might even try to tackle it tonight, but it'll probably be next weekend.

I'll also make sure that everyone (Darlynda included laugh ) has our cell phone numbers, just in case anyone gets turned around.

You're quite welcome! You do know where the 'East' state park is, right? (Just on the East side of the dam and up the hill - 1st available right and we'll be at shelter #1.)

yay yay yay
