Drive Times

[dalej]

I was just curious as to some of the drive times and miles that everyone has to the Tennessee Rally.

Lets start with Jon....

ps Jon, what's you account number at Flying J west?

[rfoster]

Dale: One hour 41 minutes - 91 miles -

[dalej]

Roger, I was going to get to you and Tom, he's not far either is he?

[JIM CHALOUPKA]

553 mi.......10 hrs.

says DeLorme street atlas

And what's yours Dale J.?

[Jerry Winchester]

1003 miles, +/- 15 hours

[dalej]

My gps map software says 1049 miles and 17 hours. We have around 200 miles of two lane to get to Interstate.

[dale farley]

AAA says it is 510 miles and 7 hrs 45 min from Pensacola, but I don't think they are talking about driving a bus ast 62 MPH.

[tdelorme]

We're looking at 756 mile and about 12 hours. If I stop every time Jan sees an antique shop, I'll see you all mid week.
Actually planing to roll in Sunday night.

[Jon Wehrenberg]

I don't think traffic will be bad, but as we approach the warmer weather traffic builds to the point where the last few miles down route 66 through Sevierville is an hour long ordeal.

I think our timing is OK. For the few miles from Gatlinburg to I 40 in the summer, especially if there is a car show in Pigeon Forge, the drive time often exceeds three hours.

For anybody coming from the south or west and planning on taking I 40 east to exit 407, route 66 by pass Knoxville and take I 640 around town. The TN DOT is preparing or will be shutting down I 40 in the downtown area. There will be signs.

[dalej]

Time to shut the PC down and hit the road. See you in Tennessee! :)

[rickdesilva]

700 miles....11 hours

[rfoster]

Rally Attendees: While Driving thru Knoxville on the way to the rally, be sure and salute as you pass UT. Lady Vols win Back to Back NCAA Championship last nite!

[lloyd&pamela]

Drive time: 35:56

[lloyd&pamela]

I think the Drive time included idle time. 29+ is more accurate.

[MangoMike]

Closest POG rally to date for the Mango Man.

477 miles - 7:40.

Piece of cake for the Mothership.

See you dudes there.

Mike

[jonnie]

Mango Mike,

You probably won't need any aluminum for or gaffers tape this time. Truk will have to take all the heat.

[Ray Davis]

2,211 miles - 32 hours

Sorry we won't be able to make it ......

ray

[jack14r]

Mapquest said 255 miles and 4.5 hours

[Jerry Winchester]

Ray,

I hate it that we won't get to see your new ride, but I hear they turn busses with plastic shields back at the Arkansas border........

[dreamchasers]

1,119 miles from Livingston, Texas to Sevierville, Tn via Fort Worth, Texas. I had to swing by Prevost Fort Worth for the third attempted repair of a leaking drive axle seal!@##@@!

We are in Memphis tonight and will go to Nashville tomorrow a catch a tour and a show at the Grand Ole Opry friday night.

Then on to Sevierville Saturday. Should arrive Saturday afternoon. I look forward to meeting all.

I hate it that we won't get to see your new ride, but I hear they turn busses with plastic shields back at the Arkansas border........

I am really sorry to miss it. Especially since I'm going to be unable to make Spearfish due to a prior committment.

You gonna make it out to Disneyland again this year? I can taste the Tulsa Rib Co ribs, already. :D

Ray

ps: Shoot, don't you need a plastic shield to protect against tornadoes, or hurricanes coming that way? I was listening to the weather this morning, and a bunch of the country is still snowing! Sheez already ....

[Petervs]

2576 miles one way for us. That is just a little bit too far, even if it is to meet with all of you very nice people.

Now Brian Esler only has 2575.5 miles one way, and that certainly is within the range of reason, and so he will be there.

You'all have a great time.

[Jerry Winchester]

Ray,

We are actually scheduled for Fort Wilderness and Disney World the last week of May. I'll cook the ribs if you can get all the Left Coasters to come for dinner.....

That was a great evening.

[mcirco]

572 Miles - 9 1/2 hours Driving time - Actual time depends on how many stops my old Basset Hound requires.

We are currently at the Sanlan Ranch Campground in Lakeland, FL. To date we have meandered over 4188 miles with about 67 hours driving time at 62.5 mph. We have been on the road for 51 days. A memorable trip away from the rainy Northwest. Will arrive at Sevierville with about 4900 miles on Saturday. :)

[truk4u]

Brian,

Gran is coming to Lakeland and asked me if anyone else was there. I told him you were at Sun N Fun.

[dale farley]

Brian, Since you and Beverly drove 4900 miles and two months to get to TN, you would think you would get some kind of prize for that.

[bill&jody]

Gary,

We are going to church Sunday morning in Gadsden, AL (8AM mass) that should put us in Chattanooga about 11:30 or 12:00. Maybe we could meet up there. I'll call you on the way up. My cell is 985 381 6613 in case you need it. I'll be the guy in the Newell:eek:

[Jerry Winchester]

Paul,

If you get there on Saturday you will be TWO days early, so you might want to check on that one.

[bonhall41]

Hope y'all have a great time! Wish we could be there to meet everyone--maybe next time--whenever and wherever that is. Since we're new owners, I know it would be very helpful.

[dalej]

We are in Nashville at Prevost. It's raining, so a great day for Tim to get his rear wheel seal replaced.

Ted your bus glass is in my possession. We are going to head out later today.

Jon and Roger, I think this storm is headed your way!

[tdelorme]

You Da Man, Dale, Thanks!! We're heading out in an hour or so. Push that rain on East, I hate to get the bus wet.:):)

Hey Jim, remember the gun store in Franklin.


"This is my rifle this is my gun, stop off and buy one, we'll sure have some have some FUN!"......... That's for you Harry:p:D

[garyde]

It's 2307 miles, 32hrs, 45 minutes and I would be there if it weren't for all of this pesky work. No need to say have fun, because I know how much fun it will be.

[JIM KELLER]

Hey Jim, remember the gun store in Franklin.


"This is my rifle this is my gun, stop off and buy one, we'll sure have some have some FUN!"......... That's for you Harry:p:D

Jim, I am afraid to stop in Franklin on the way over because we haven't been there since October. I know I would find things that need attention perhaps repair and I would get involved and not make it to Sevierville. So I'm not even going to stop. I will have to buy, rent or borrow one.

P.S. Thanks for looking out for me, I need alll the help I can get ! See you in a couple of days.

[Jerry Winchester]

Well my drive time is way down now. Made it to Nashville this morning and the weather is great. Sunny and cool. Should roll into Sevierville tomorrow afternoon. Nice drive from Houston so far and a great BBQ dinner at Corky's in Memphis last night.

Loc also turned us on to a BBQ place in Cathage, TX, Daddy Sam's, that worked for a 35 minute pit stop lunch.

Not many parking spaces in the rest areas in Tennessee. Ended up spending the night in the parking area for the weigh station with all the other guys who were having the same problem.

Taco time now..........

[JIM KELLER]

What is the weather like at Sevierville from someone already in Sevierville ?

[BrianE]

Jim,

At 0730 it's 46f, overcast with a 5mph breeze. Forcast is for 50% chance of precip. Possible snow showers tonight and tomorrow then clear skies. Drive safe.

[lewpopp]

From someone down here in warm PSL we were informed that there was a possibility of 3-6" of snow with severe winds tonight. We hope not, for your sake.

A good time to test your Webastos.
