    maybe I can get the 990 up there Saturday morning. What time will you guys head out for a ride?

    Ok, I might borrow a trailer and get my 990 up. Your roll out time will dictate it all, as I'm coming from Atlanta the night before, and would need to trailer up Saturday morning and drive over.

    we typically hit up Smoky Mountain Bakery for breakfast (they open at 8) and then roll out. And depending on the group, there's always a few lagging behind, so I'd say the 930 is a good bet.

    OK guys, I'll be coming in hot Saturday morning. Hope someone will be on the lookout for me, I'll get there as quick as I can. @CheapB says I can park at the "house" and unload there. I'll camp that night but haven't paid ahead, hopefully I can pay the folks, or if the CG is full I can camp anywhere. Truck topper camping for the win.

    @SR1 You could give the campground a call so they'll know what to expect. (828) 742-1054, Janine or Mark will fill you in.
