all 5 trucks made it to the VA meeting point. We'll be leaving at 8:00am on the final leg to NC.
12 hours on the raod yesterday doing our best to maintain 75mph. We were all pretty tired and any more road time would have been too much.

Glad to hear everyone is safe.
Weather is going to be awesome for y'all.

Tonight: Isolated showers and thunderstorms before 11pm. Partly cloudy, with a low around 48. South wind between 4 and 7 mph becoming calm. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

The upper camping spot will be a little colder at night but not much. Sat night is going to be awesome up there.
As far as Loops closed. Non were closed 6 weeks ago. I know that for a fact.
Stay safe. If y'all need any help me and a few friends will be about an hr away. We are camping and fishing an area that is being closed by the Foresty Service next week forever.
Call me if y'all need any parts or tech help. 864-414-0563

Great trip to say the least. Linda was a trooper for her first trip out... we actually talked "mods" on the way home so it was definitely a success! Don't think the "troopy" talk worked yet, but I'll keep up the pressure.
Thanks for the invite and look forward to seeing you all again at another event!
Here's a couple of teasers.

Guess I'm the first one back up north. We actually got in at 3am last night, did it straight... That is a long drive! Thanks to everyone for a great time! Great people, great weather and great wheeling... can't ask for much more. Can't wait to do it again!

I got back @ 6:00pm tonight. Eric that is a long ride and am glad you made it safely. Next trip down south will definitely be different for me as I'll need a little more time to get there and a better break up of the time for returning. Still a learning curve.
I've got a bunch of pics but everyone will need to wait until the weekend as I roll out in the am for a 3 hour drive to my first service call. It's back from which I came unfortunately.

I think 2 days without coffee followed by 3 larges made it happen. I would never plan on doing a trip like that and I would have stopped if I got tired but guess I was on a mission. Glad you guys made it back safely too.
I could make a week vacation out of that... travel on the weekends in less of a rush and camp and wheel all week.

I was telling Jason, that relatively close to where we camped the first night is wolf reservoir (45 minutes down off the trail and on the main road). If we were to go there in the summer it would be nice to do the loop in the opposite direction of what we did this year, and end on us jumping off the cliffs into the lake for a nice refresh.
