Thank you Tuts 59 for organizing a great get together for the Southern Bolters! I had a blast, these last 3 days, with the greatest bunch of folks I have ever met. My son and grandson also thank you. My grandson Eli especially enjoyed Lugnutz magic tricks! I pray you all return home safe and sound.
God bless!

Good luck sorting that mess out, Jay! Quite an enjoyable weekend, and it was very good to meet some aspiring new stovebolters who aren't ready for Medicare yet!

I’ve been all weekend just a few hours down I-40 in the Memphis area. Oldest son playing baseball. Rain screwed up one of the fields so it’s gonna be a late night.

We bypassed Chattanooga and Atlanta for more scenic back roads.
I can't stop for gas or a pitstop without someone asking about the truck.

Really had a good time all weekend and thanks to Craig and his wife for getting the ball rolling.
I foresee this being an annual event!
Time for bed and I hope to post a few pictures tomorrow.

So nice to see old faces and lots new ones.
Great job tut and everyone else for making this a memorable occasion. Stovebolters rock.....and Cheryl enjoyed making friends with all the ladies.
If all goes well I'll see y'all in K.C. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,917 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,917 | I pulled in my driveway at 11:15 PM after a long day of driving. Jerry and I stopped for breakfast on the way to Dellrose Tennessee. We swapped some stories, swapped engines, and I had a short tour of his shop area. My journey home from his house took me through Birmingham Alabama and then east on interstate 20 to Columbia, SC. The truck ran fine and I didn’t feel sleepy. I kept the speed at 62 mph. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2018 Posts: 38 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2018 Posts: 38 | Tom pulled into his driveway at 10:30 pm last night. After waking up, helping unload and greeting my grandkids, I drove another 100 miles and arrived safely at home at 12:30 am. Those Detroit roads are easier to navigate at that time!

Beautiful drive through the backwoods of Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia. Picked up the Interstate in Tifton,GA.
We had a great lunch at the Smok'n Pig BBQ in Valdosta, GA.
We really enjoyed our time with the Stovebolter's and their wives. A good time was had by all.

We did visit the Nashville Zoo on Sunday and checked out a local Flea Market. Today we went to the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green (A must see) . We also visited the Lost River Cave, took the boat tour into the cave (Pretty Cool).
