Call me when you get close. We have a spare bedroom and a cold beer.

But I could leave a few days early and then I do have the weekend of Aug 10th & 11th off. I also wrap up on Friday the 16th and do not need to be home until Sunday night the 18th, so it is so tempting to take the Boxster.

Looks like my route would be similar to Black Box's, only I would not be heading west once in TN.

Black Box, did you go through Johnson City?

What routes did you take as an alternative to 81 from Harrisburg PA?

I think I will get my car in for a pre-trip inspection on Monday.

If you will be in Western NC at that time you could go to the In Den Bergen in Waynesville NC. Great event. should be over 80 cars this year.

I'll be there.

Whip,

Thanks for the heads up. It is on the weekend of the 10th & 12th which I will be down there and not working so it should be a go for me. I have a freind I work with that lives in Ashville. He owns a BRZ and a classic TRV. His TRV is for sale and I think he is itching for a new toy. Maybe he will come along as well.

I look forward to meeting you and Mountainman.
