Ok so when are we meeting and where is HQ? I am game sometime during the holidays. Only time i am off.

I'm just the opposite, I'm working through the holidays. I have so much other crap going on when I AM off, I don't know what I will be able to commit to.

So, convoy from Charlotte to where for a rally?

Charlotte to Pigeon Forge Tn

We would have to keep a Sharpe eye on Gimp.
If he can roll a truck on flat ground what's gonna happen on the side of a mountain.

Pigeon Forge sounds cool. Whats to do there? Any forest service roads, trails to go play on? Camping spots?

 

[Scottd9990]

Just wondering what driving a manual steering deuce through the mts will be like? My arms hurt already!!!

 

[wilfreeman]

I might still be in - depends on date and family matters. Looks like around 210 miles from Charlotte to Pigeon Forge + about 45 for me to get to Charlotte.

Looking at maps are places to go play. Not seeing much in Pieon Forge area.

Not sure about forest service roads. I think it would be cool just to roll down the main strip in lots of deuces.

 

[Scottd9990]

Is this a fav location for you? I am more interested in dirt roads and mt camping.

LAst time i was in pidgeon forge I saw a custom crew cab bobbed deuce roll through . I totally want to drive mine artoubnd in pidgeon forge. Yeah mountan roads would be much better.

I'm late to the party, but would definitely be interested in whatever gets planned!

 

[Scottd9990]

Here is what I am thinking: there is a trail system called Trans Atlantic Trail TET that runs from the pan handle of FL to New England. Mostly offroad, back roads. I want to drive the SC/ NC sections as much as possible. I have the GPS files. Any one else want to give it a try late winter??

 

[Scottd9990]

Correction its Trans Eastern Trail . Google it on ADV Rider.

 

[drivebymashing]

Are the roads deuce freindly? Looks close to where I live Ive never heard of these trails though.

It reads like it's all a motorcycling trail (going east-to-west):

- But maybe I'm looking at the wrong trail

Am I reading that correctly?

Check it out here. I think most of it is doable. TETS 2014: http://youtu.be/W-5EcPNRH-k

Disregard:

- I looked up Trans-America Trail by accident.
