The Stovebolt Site Forums The Side Lot Southern Bolters Townsend Convoy

Good Morning all. Just over a week from the Smoky Mountain AD show and the 4th "Southern Bolter" Jamboree. I wanted to lay out a timeline for the trip.

Wayn67svert (Wayne) is driving up from FLA to meet me and Linda in Brunswick, Ga. on Wed the 29th. From there we will take I-95N to I-26W, we will stay on I-26W thru SC and pick up I-40W just west of Ashville NC. We are going to stay overnight in Maggie Valley and meet everyone Thursday morning at the "Buttered Biscuit> for breakfast. After breakfast we will get back on I-40 and head west to Pigeon Forge on on to Townsend from there. As Wayne and Alvin are going to trailer their Trucks I estimate us being in Townsend between 1:00 and 2:00 Thursday afternoon. No doubt we will be chasing PaPa Joe the entire way up I-40.

You should not need a lunch break after the Buttered Biscuit, sounds like a plan. See you Thursday afternoon

We won’t be able to make it to Townsend this year . Have a Beach Trip planned with the Grandkid’s. Y’all could come in the Back way to Townsend on Dragons tail. LOL

Dakota, last year the final Cruise for the Show was over the Dragons Tail. We didn't have any from our group take part on the Cruise, we decided to set in the shade and drink Beer.

My darling wife is asking about any potential cookout where she might need to provide a dish to pass?

Archie
I don't know anything about a cookout but, Vicki is baking her "made from scratch" cookies right now and the last count I did was over 120 cooling on the table.
I have had three so far straight out of the oven.

Don

you know I am a sucker for the cookies

Safe travels everyone wish I was travelling with someone now to Townsend not happening going to New Zealand for wedding next week made it too tight to get Townsend in as well .Don we will catch up next year or maybe K C thanks Alvin for making my trip last year so good hope Helen enjoys the weekend meeting other Stovebolt people

Here you go cookie eaters!

I was thinking of Friday evening, last year we had people leave Saturday after the Show. We had access to the covered picnic area and tables at our campground.

We all gathered at Burger Miester on Saturday last year.

Wayne67vert (Wayne) left his house about 7:00 this morning. He should be here in Brunswick around 10:30, a short break and then on the road to Maggie Valley NC. The adventure begins...

I am not convoying but there will be 2 of us leaving in the morning.

Where are everyone staying? Jordan and I are staying at Happy Valley.

I've gotten sidetracked, hit a piece of 4x4 and damaged a tire. Waiting for Sam's to mount a new one. Going to be dark when we get to Maggie Valley.

Wayne, looks like you are in the running for the hard luck prize, if there is one?

Vicki and I have checked in at the Drury in Paducah. She got a tour of the Quilt Museum while I sat and watched the Ohio river go by.
Should be in Townsend tomorrow mid afternoon.

Safe travels everyone and keep us posted!!
Don

The joy is in the journey
The joy is in the journey
