    We will be driving down I75 on our way to the rod run, not to far from you. we will be going down early in the week thou. Townsend is a nice place to stay its only 15 miles from Pigeon Forge. that,s where we are staying. not sure weather we are camping or getting a hotel, it depends on how many from my family come down with us. i called about some prices on hotels, they run around $65.00 weekdays and $85.00 weekend. I cant wait it looks like we might have a good turnout. :dance:

She said they still have plenty of rooms available, rates where decent $65 weekdays $89 weekend. we are staying Wednesday thru Saturday. can't wait to see everyone. Now i just need to get the motor back together, had to put a new cam in it. hopefully it will be running tonight :drool:

    I know there is 4 that already have reservations (cabins, hotels) 2-3 that are local and a couple others that say there going to it :16suspect. I have been working 10 hours a day 7 days a week so i have not had time to plan:( but i will get things rolling this week. I'm going to be there from Wednesday-Sunday, and im planning the actual Minni Meet on Friday or Saturday. We need a rallying point, I'm staying in Towensand Tn About 15 miles west PF. Anyone closer have a place we can meet up?

    I will get there late Thursday, around 11pm. Im staying until noonish on Sunday. Any popular landmark with a big parking lot should work for a meeting place. I havent been there enough to know of anything specific. We usually spend our time in Pigeon Forge. Only drove up to Gatlinburg once and that was for the Aquarium.

    One good place to meet in Pigeon Forge is the factory outlet mall. Easy to get to from wears valley rd.Mels diner is located at 119 wears valley rd. turn right at the diner onto Florence dr.go approx.3/4 mile the factory outlet mall is on the left at the top of a hill.plenty of room for a mini meet. ( this is only a suggestion )
