Just finished loading the truck. Turned out my diesel leak was not return hoses but a pressed in return line barb on a injector had come out so had to make a speed run to Columbia to pick up new injector See you all in the morning.
 
Andy, don't forget to leave my junk out. :)

Also, if you change camps from AC to anywhere else, please attempt to let me know. Maybe just shoot me the coordinates if possible.

Lastly, where & when is the Saturday group supposed to meet up with the Friday group?
 
See you guys tomorrow morning.

Looks like temps will not be crazy cold...maybe we can avoid the rain too.
 
Not gonna make it today! No way could I have enough time to come home after work and shower then get my daughter to her grandmothers and roll out of Knoxville by 8:30 So I will be there Saturday .
 
youve got 3 hrs till we leave. ill let the Sat trail guides know to look for one more.
 
Thanks Andy,

I will be there bright and early tomorrow, unless I leave tonight and arrive late, doubtful.

Shawn and I are following each other down in the morning and leaving Knoxville at 7:00am . See you guys at Andys.
 
I'm about halfway there from Memphis now; just about to pass through Nash-Vegas.

Told Andrew (pillguy) already: if my yellow semi is there in the morning but the green mini truck is not, obviously I went on in. Otherwise, somebody knock on my door and wake me up. :)
 
Don't know if anyone from the Saturday group will see this or not, but I'll be at the shop going in with the group. If my green truck isn't there, just means I ran to Sonic for breakfast & bathroom.
 
I see it Steve .we won't leave you. If you do decide to go leave us a note or you can call me @ Rance . See you in a few hours

Uggh...just when you have the truck 80% packed

Guys,

Got a e-mail from work late last night regarding some deliverable(s) that were due wed for a meeting this week are now Monday morning.:bang:
As a result, I am not going to make the trip this weekend :crybaby::crybaby:
I will see you all at the next trip to the cove, hopefully this spring.

Andrew
 
Glad I did not go. Major emergency at the house. The Silverado was leaking fuel all over the driveway. Spraying it out of the top of the fuel tank. If the wife had driven it all that gas on the exhaust and undercarriage could have been a disaster.
 
Just got back to the shop. What a weekend. We cover a lot of ground in three days and had a blast thanks to everyone who came along.

Had a great time too! Hope to see everyone again soon. Thanks for the soup Roger. When you get a chance if you could send me the recipe. We need to think about an April Fools Run at Caryville. Who's in?

Andy, Glad to hear that it was a good weekend. It looked like you were getting hammered with rain yesterday, per the weather radar.

I am interested to hear a trail report and see some pics!

Second Chris's request.
 
Hey guys, thanks for the trail ride. That was a lot of fun. It was great to see everyone and check out someplace I haven't been to before. I would like to ride down there again. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the trail in the future.

Roger, thanks for the soup. That was good stuff.

Andy, we stopped at the store in Gruetli-Laager. Noticed there was a WANTED poster with your picture on their bulletin board. What's that all about?
 
good time with the ride, good group of folks. Best deal for me was no issues with my truck... recent repairs to TC linkage fixed one issue and rebuilt steering gear fixed the other. No fix on ground clearnace yet but, I'm thinking the I'll have to get my moneys worth out of my present tires before I jump off into bigger tires/ additional suspension mods.
