X3 on that Frostie! I'll keep Joe & Coach company while everyone goes and scrapes their floorboards. (haha)

:)And for those who are intrested, The Dragon is now open from 8am til 8pm 7 days a week, until the rock slide is cleared [ http://www.dealsgap.com/ ]

If you decide on Mountain City or Bristol let me know. Since im not getting to go to the rally it would be a chance for me to meet the group. Im only a hour from Bristol or Mountain City and might be able to join up with the group at around Erwin TN

Does anyone Know when 129 will be open for through traffic.

**coacha** · 05-18-2010, 07:40 AM

Sarge, I heard on another forum it won't be till September, but I could be wrong.

sarge1057 · 05-20-2010, 06:55 AM

I guess I have to change my route.

Sarge check this out [ http://www.dealsgap.com/ ] they are saying its open from 8am til 8pm.

**coacha** · 05-20-2010, 07:50 PM

Ok, I'm thinking Bristol area. I would like to stop south of Bristol, near Kingsport. There is a La Quinta Inn at 357 and I-81 and a KOA not far from there. Then we can either take I-81 up the road a little ways and get on side roads or go side roads from there.

trosco · 05-21-2010, 10:09 AM

That location works for me Ron. The LaQuinta's are always a pretty safe choice for hoteling it.

Plus, if we get there early those that want to could do the loop of 321 and 421 down by shady grove and hampton. One of the best rides available in that area IMHO. And the campers could drop trailer and join in.

Just a thought?

**coacha** · 05-21-2010, 11:05 PM

sounds good Ross.

It's not open for through traffic. Access is only from the south and you have to make a u-turn where it's closed and go back out the way you came in.

**wompus** · 05-26-2010, 08:30 PM

I live in Gainesville, Ga. about 6 miles off of I-85. If anyone needs a place to park their trailer for a halfway ride just let me know.

**coacha** · 05-26-2010, 09:00 PM

Wompus, we will be going very near there on the way up to Blairsville...I think. I gotta get out my maps and look.

sarge1057 · 05-27-2010, 06:52 AM

I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas only 15 days before I leave for the rally.

trosco · 05-29-2010, 10:19 AM

Ron, are we settled on the Sunday night stop of:

I would like to stop south of Bristol, near Kingsport. There is a La Quinta Inn at 357 and I-81 and a KOA not far from there.

If so then I will make hotel reservations. With Joe injured it will be me and Doug and Mike coming up from Jax and we all are hoteling it. There are a lot of choices in that area if someone wants some place else but at that exit the LaQuinta appears to be the best choice?

Let me know?
