  10. MOTD 2010 Event Guide

    I also noticed that Snooter has assigned different radio channels for the various clubs.

     

    The MOTD Channel is officially 7 Sub 21 and DCMM has been assigned 22 Sub 22 for any conversations between members.

     

    See page 11 of guide for all event communication assignments.

    So we should get a count of who's going to join us for the Wednesday AM drive. I'll have my radio on (Ch7/21) also so we can hear any late comers. Brian, can you create an RSVP on this post to get a headcount?

     

    Hey Ken not to sure about how to setup a RSVP so I will just do a list. So far this is who is interest:

     

    Brian0758

    Keckert

    HzBBlur

    Scavenger

    Mr EZ

    cmcveay (a maybe)

    MMatarella (a maybe)

     

    As we had discussed prior the earlier the quicker we get there. My thought was wheels up by 6am and we will meet at the Starbucks in Centreville (see prior post for location)

     

    Lets talk this Sunday and confirm the time :rock:

    There is a lot of traffic getting through Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge plus lots of red lights.------If you all are in a hurry to get to Fontana, I'd stick with the Asheville route.

     

    That was my thought also. I have driven through the tourist trap AKA Gatlinburg and the traffic/red lights can slow you down to a snail's pace.

     

    I am still up for whatever route the group decides. :motor: We should try to get together during the Spring Fling on Sunday and chat about the route.

     

    See ya all soon :rock:

    I just put together a Google maps route including the recommended detours. CLICK HERE

     

    UPDATE: I just "virtually" drove the detour section in Google Earth and I think the portion of Hwy 71 through the Smokies is going to be awesome! If we leave early enough that it will still be daylight when we get here, it'll be nice.

     

    Here is the route that I was thinking which avoids the Gatlinburg traffic which can be slow. http://maps.yahoo.com/map?q1=14155%20Saint%20Germain%20Dr%2020121&q2=highway%2028%2028733}&mag=5&ard=1#mvt=m&lat=35.416037&lon=-83.754802&mag=5&zoom=13&q1=14155%20Saint%20Germain%20Dr%2020121&q2=highway%2028%2028733}

     

    We would miss Hwy 71 which looks like fun but we would get there a little quicker. Any route is cool with me since we are leaving early :motor:

    Is the Starbucks you're referring to the one at 14423 Chantilly Crossing Ln, Chantilly, VA? For Mr EZ and I, this would have us going more North past 66. Maybe we should pick a meeting spot along 66, or perhaps in Centreville?

     

    Here is a Starbucks close to the intersection of routes 28 and 29.

     

    14155 Saint Germain Drive, Centreville, VA 20121

     

    Since it is closer to 66 it probably is a better location :biggrin:

    I think we're heading due west on 7, then picking up 81 from there. We'll probably meet up with you guys along the way.

    What route are you taking? Also, if you're running radios on the way down, what channel will you be monitoring?

     

    The last time I went down to that area I took 66 to 81 to 26 and from Ashville went West. I am not sure what route Keckert has planned.

     

    As far as radios we would be using channel 7 subchannel 21 that we normally use on the DCMM runs.

     

    Here is the updated list of those meeting at Starbucks:

     

    Keckert, HzBBlur, Mr EZ, Scavenger and myself.

     

    See ya on the road :motor:

    It looks like HzBBlur, Keckert and me will be leaving early (6amish) on Wednesday. :motor: We are thinking about meeting at the Starbucks at Chantilly Crossing in Chantilly off of route 50 near the intersection of Route 28.

     

    If anyone else would like to join that would be great:rock:

     

    More info as soon as everything is setup.

     

    See ya at The Dragon
