What's the plan for travel logistics for December event?

I was told to coordinate with NC guys, but that seems likely to be inefficient due to added drive time

Got more information, rendezvous point is Asheville NC, seems workable

How many are coming with you?

6 from AL. 4 from GA. I can tell you more once I know the destination

More than likely we’ll rendezvous with you after the GA guys

Maybe the same location. We’ll see

Sounds like a convoy

Yessir

So, you and the georgia guys are coming through knoxville on your way to asheville to meet up with western NC, or are you taking a different route?

GA will be rendezvousing with FL. I haven’t communicated with any NC guys. Looks like AL will be traveling individually. Either way, we can rendezvous with you on the way if you’d like

Okay, you and how many out of AL?

There will be 5 of us

2 vehicles

Bringing a lot of stuff for the event

Right

I say we don't consolidate vehicles until Asheville, when we meet with Marcus NC

That might work. I’ll know more once I receive the location

If going through Asheville is along the way, sure

Asheville is where Marcus said he'd be meeting you, but that was last week, and it seems plans have already shifted somewhat

I have never spoken with Marcus

Ah, well he said to me that he was to be meeting with GA and AL people

We very well may. I’m sure he’s meet with GA and FL.

Either way, I’m like you, I’m not gonna go too far out of the way if I don’t have to

He said he would be headed to SC to grab a guy, and then on to asheville to rendezvous with GA/AL and me

Presuming likely destination, both you and I would waste travel time going over to asheville

Exactly

Okay, let's plan on me meeting with your group in east tn

What time do you expect to be in my area?

I’m estimating around 10 in the morning. We’ll be departing early. Like I’ve said, I’ll know exactly once I receive the location

Right, just need rough estimates to plan accordingly

So Friday morning 10:00

No sleep for me, I guess, maybe a nap

Roughly, yes

there will be room for you in Norman’s car. You can put your things in his car or the bed of my truck.

You can get a nap in transit

Eh, I might just take thursday off

It’s gonna be rough for me too. I’ve been working nights the past 30 days and will wrap up on the 1st.

Ain’t nothing out of the ordinary for us lol

Is there any special gear consideration?

Just winterized clothing/ gear

Got that covered

And plenty of personal lighting

Same

Do either of you have radios for travel, either CB or HAM?

We do

You?

Both

Hmm. May come in handy. We could practice along the way

Anyway, I think the best plan is that I join your group, meeting location should be Sweetwater TN, Exit 60 on I-75

7:40 a.m. at the location you provided

Did you have access to your phone at camp or during the convoy?

How far are you from Chattanooga?

Yes, I ran nav for Norman

I'm 1 hr from chatt
