Thanks Rick!! Looking forward to it!!! Brian
 
Does the camp have wifi? Just wondering what to pack...
 
Do any of you guys have a plan or schedule yet? I'm thinking of going up Friday morning.
 
That is what I am thinking + 10 minutes.:grinpimp:

No WiFi in camp. Cell/aircard signal is spotty in some places in the park, but appears to be strong at top of mountain where the main pavilion, RV and tent camping are located. They may have wifi in the bunkhouse by GSMTR, but no guarantees.

I plan on bringing my VZ MiFi card. I forgot to bring it when we were up there last month to check signal, so don't know how well it will work. My VZ Blackberry was able to call and text, but 3G kept going in and out.
 
Planning to leave early Friday morning (the 11th) if anyone wants to caravan up, think it's about an hour+ north of Chattanooga.
 
What time are you leaving? I'm thinking VERY early just to have some time to play on Fri. May have two others wanting to caravan as well.

I'm thinking of leaving around 7ish, I'd like to get up there around 11-11:30 (ET) if possible. From my house in N Forsyth my plan is shoot across Hwy 53 to 515 and then Hwy 136 until it hits I-75 in Resaca. from there it's an easy shot north.

Did this a couple weeks ago and it's cake.

talked to SC the other night and I thought he was thinking of going up mid week. I assume you guys want to meet along I-75, We always meet at the Flying-J Truck Stop at Resaca Lafayette Rd. and I-75 about 9 AM when we head north.

let me know.
 
Passenger Request

All,
Could I ask a favor? I am leaving for GSMTR early in the week, but Melissa has soccer try-outs through Thursday night. Would it be possible for her to catch a ride with someone on Friday that is headed up to GSMTR? I will be at Golden Mountain to take receipt of my navigator.

To set a reference frame; We live in Kennesaw, not too far off 75 at the Chastain exit. She has made every GSMTR since '99, so she has a decent track record going and I would hate to see it end.

Thanks in advance.
 
I should be able to help you out. I'll have two 14 yo girls with me. Can she get up early :grinpimp:

I'll PM my number.

Great. Absolutely on getting up early, but she will probably either go back to sleep, read or sit back and observe the exchanges of the other girls.

Thanks

I have a feeling I'll be the only one awake for most of the ride so no problem. :grinpimp:

TLCA stepped up to the plate and sent a whole box of Toyota Trails mags and stickers. Also have some other swag from them being delivered to the park next week. Have to say they have gone all out in making sure we are well taken care of.

Then we get to my office. Where there are way more boxes of stuff than I can shake a stick at.

Shane Walters at Metric TLC sent two sets of very cherry bench seat upholstery for a 40. This is the full set front and back.

I have no idea how I'm going to fit all this in my 40 with a small trailer but it will make it there one way or the other.
 
talked to Sidney yesterday, sounds like he might join our little caravan on Friday morning but won't know until mid week.

Steenh--what're ya drivin' up there, the hundy I assume.

Yep, hundy it is. I have passengers this time... no rear locker though :confused: Something is amiss and I haven't had the time or the skills to track it down. I'll stick to the easy trails and then it may be time for finishing up the ARB F/R?

So how far is the meeting place from Kennesaw? I'll try to time picking up Larry's daughter with the 9:00 am meeting time.
 
Hey all puffin smoke signals from Augusta!!!!! Anyone to head up on Monday? Workin sunday night and leaving whenever to hopefully set camp before nighfall! My dad and I. may can squeeze a passenger if need be. Rookie practice before the Mini truck shows up hehehehe!!
