Trying to talk my wife into going.

[Rox Crusher]

Here is the just release schedule of events.

Time to confirm your participation in our caravan leaving on Saturday morning, April 9th.

[plumbdoctor]

Who's driving and who's towing?

[Rox Crusher]

Phil, Mike, and I are all planning to drive

[Moab Mike]

I just got my time off approved at work!

[landshark]

Depending on work - still unsure if I will make it. I will drive the bronco

[Kinder]

I'd love to go, but I'll likely be starting my Ranger season April. That said I could likely talk them into a late start, so I'm a possible and would drive.

[Rox Crusher]

We have rented a large house right in Townsend and still have some room.

If you want to stay with us it will make the price lower for everyone.

Space is somewhat limited and we have to confirm any additional attendees with the owner so please let me know if you want to firm up as soon as you can.

Also, we are planning to host a bbq & beers event one night if that is of interest.

and Broncos, what could be better ?

[Moab Mike]

I just registered for the event too!!!

[plumbdoctor]

Ok guys, getting closer...........anyone else thinking of jumping in at the last minute ?

Yesterday we realized just how adventurous we are.

Project Viperwolf1 is new from the ground up.

Mine will have a fresh 351w with EFI Guy OBDII ignition system.

Keith is just now finishing up his better half's rig.

So 3 of the 4 rigs will be on their shake down cruise.

[akaFrankCastle]

Who is trailering and who is driving?

What's the planned route?

Just curious as it might be possible to reach out for support from others in the event of breakdowns and such.

[Rox Crusher]

I think we are all planning to drive.

Three of the rigs will be equipped with C4 so the overdrive crowd will take up the rear so others can set the pace.

With this in mind we might want to take a more back hiway route where we aren't on I70 blocking traffic or feeling the pressure to maintain freeway speeds.

Any and all suggestions welcome.

[Kinder]

What do you think your cruising speed will be, 65 mph?

[Digger]

Is there room for one more body?

I'm still on the fence, but would like to go. I was also curious about cruising speed, but with C4s in the crowd I can't imagine us doing 75-80 the whole time.

[Moab Mike]

I think the fastest route would be Kansas City to St Louis to Nashville to Knoxville. I am feeling my musical roots and would like to stop in Nahville on the way there and then go through Muscle Shoals, AL and then Memphis, TN on the way home.

I think the C4's will be fine. I cruised to Moab last year at 75-80 MPH with no issues.

Nashville would be great.

I think we could also slip through Clarkesdale, MS (crossroads)

[Digger]

What day is the convoy rolling out? Returning?

Did everyone buy the full week pass?

There is still room at the inn..........there is one other person straddling the fence..........if both of you decide to join in the fun.........the house will still have room for a couple more

Bring it !

The plan is to leave Saturday April 9th and I think to head back on the following Sunday

But I keep hearing the NASCAR track in Bristol calling my name

[Digger]

Roger that.

The earliest I could leave would be Monday morning, arriving Tuesday night in Townsend. Leaving Townsend on Sunday would be okay.

If there is anyone that can't leave Saturday the 9th, but would be interested in going, let me know. Maybe we can form a 2nd convoy out.

[casadejohnson]

I have been avoiding this thread because I really want to take Stubby out but sadly, its not an option. Most of my vacations this year are going to be tied up getting my dad moved out of California and out here to Colorado. As it turns out, he has a lot of crap and at 80 he won't be doing much of the heavy lifting.

Those of us left behind will be expecting photo updates from the road.

[hockeydad4-22]

What Jeremy said.

I too really wanted to take time off to go, but alas.... it simply is not to be.

I do want many - many pictures.

[Viperwolf1]

Oh I'm sure there will lots of pictures from the side of the road.

I like the way you think.

CO-KC on I-70 is about 620 miles, depending on where you mark the stop point. If you don't want to hit downtown, which really isn't that bad of a route depending on time of day, use 435 to 470 as a bypass.

KC-Clarksville, TN (about 60 miles north of Nashville) is 480 miles, ish. Take I-70 through St. Louis. The bypass in STL only adds time and frustration to the drive. After STL you've got 64 to 57 to I-24. This was my monthly route on long weekends when I was stationed at Campbell.

Kansas should be the only place where you'll have huge gaps in gas station/parts store coverage.

Hit up Michael Mudd on Facebook. He's friends with the CCB Facebook account. He has a pretty good sized shop on the south of of the town I live in now. If you've got trailers going, could be a good place to park them overnight if you plan to crash in KC for the night.

Wish I could go. Or at least provide roadside support from KC, but I'll be in Texas.

[Digger]

I took the week off work and the following Monday, so count me in. I won't be showing up until Tuesday night in Townsend, but I'll be there through Saturday.

I need to make a new tire carrier, upgrade the wipers, add some sway bars etc. Better get to work.

[EFI Guy]

Looks like I'm in!
