I'll be heading to Oak Ridge on the 27th. I-26 to I-40, basically.
For those that want to tag along with me (see this post
4th Annual 70 Series Meet & Greet), lets plan to meet at the parking lot at Windrock Park at 8 on Friday for a departure time of 8:30. What this means is please have full tanks of fuel, snacks / lunch / drinks, and most importantly, permits.
My rides will require each person to have a Windrock Park permit available at these locations (
Permits - Windrock Park ). You should have time to purchase permits on Friday AM at the Windrock General Store - opens at 8 AM.
Friday's ride / tour will most definetly will require a TWRA permit for one person per vehicle (preferably the driver). These can be purchased online in advance here
Tennessee
I have not completely nailed down Saturday's ride, but it likely will require a TWRA permit.
