Plenty of routes to enter. I think we're probably in as well, but I need to confirm calendar with Christy.

I’ve been wanting to do this trip for years.

I'm about 90% in for Group 2, I have a power steering leak I need to address before then.
I'd consider joining Group 1 but I have no experience on any of these trails so not sure what the trip from the Cove to Coalmont entails.
I'll have a bunch of questions on Tuesday night for anyone who has done/will be going on this trip.

Not sure if we will make it yet, and since I’m a first timer is there a place to park tow rigs? We would be in Group 1 but probably leave out early to mid day Saturday. Planning on towing the pig and son driving the built Lexus.

You should be able to leave a tow rig at the courthouse...at least we have in years past. @radioridge?

As far as leaving early, the lower group is an expedition style ride, which starts in Jasper, TN and ends up in Coalmont, TN, so there would be some highway to return/you'd have to find an exit solo unless someone else would be leaving early as well. Most likely we'd make it to Coalmont sometime Saturday PM.

If you are planning to attend the New Year's Ride and not on Facebook, comment in this thread and let us know if you are planning for Group 1 or Group 2. Just trying to get a rough head count.

Stars seem to be aligning for Group 1 but I'll jump into Group 2 if the scheduling doesn't pan out.
