Not sure if the wife and I are going yet, but went ahead and reserved a room at the Tremont Resort for Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. There are not many places left available. Hope to make a mini vacation out of it.

Well, the wife is up for a road trip, so we should be attending the Southern Jamboree. May do Beale Street Wednesday night and then on to Townsend Thursday. Probably stay over Sunday and Monday to do some back road exploring. Then wing it on the way back home.
JW51, we should be staying in Cape that first Tuesday night and will hit the Pilot House that evening for dinner. Want to join us?
Craig, will there be t shirts this year? Oh, and Vicki should be baking her cookies again for this trip!

The Smokey Mountain Nationals are focused on the Advanced Design (AD) trucks and since I drive an Art Deco 1946 Chevy I thought it would be prudent to ask if my truck would eligible to register for the show, probably not for judging but at least allowed on the grounds for a good parking spot. I did mention that I would be attending with the Southern Stovebolters group.
Here is the first response: "Archie, this is Dave. I haven’t heard of the Southern Stovebolters group. How many are coming?" My response: "Stovebolt.com with about 23,000 followers, the Southern group of about 25 has met the past two years in Lebanon TN. Coming to you this year from southern states. They would like to park as a group." Then Dave introduced himself and supplied a phone # for contact the I will PM Tuts 59. "Well we are honored and will have a special place for your group! Thanks for thinking of us. Can i announce on the FB group page?"
From this point, I will leave it to Tuts 59 to make any arrangements for our group and information about Stovebolt.com for announcements on their FB page.

Archie, I have been in contact with the FB link and asked several questions there and had responses, no I haven't actually spoken to the organiser. I will reach out to Dave and get back to the group. I didn't mena to duck your call, I actually had a forklift run over my phone this week and have to get another, the new phone is much harder to navigate, it's a learning curve I guess.

Archie and Linda are registered and we will make the adventurous drive through the mountains in the '46 arriving on the first of June and departing Sunday the fourth. I received a call back from Dave, the event organizer and he informed me that I did not need to register the 46 since they will only be judging the AD trucks for this show.

Don, that would be "Yes". My old phone died and unhappy Death under a 10k all- terrain forklift. The girl at AT&T had a time trying to download my info from the phone, looks like she was able save most of my stuff and contacts and pictures at least..
Linda and I will be there Thursday afternoon.

I hope to make some sort of reservation for something (even if it’s just a tent camping spot). Still unsure of my plans, but I have this penciled in.
