lmao. aight.

I'll probably follow those routes ya gave me, 'cept for going down to 72... that'd add about 20mins onto the ride. I'm ~10 mins if that from the TN border as it is.... so it's a quick hop up to the interstate to get into chat.

hah, yea, when you get to the lookout, if you're heart isnt pounding out of your chest... it will be in the next couple hundred yards.

Cops love wheelies.

When are you going?

[Lamnidae]

Probably leave the HSV area @ 1100 6JUN08.

Wanna meet up somewhere en route Smittie? Ya going to the rally?

[Smittie61984]

Hadn't planned on it. I'm only 4hours away so it's just a day trip. So I might come but I kind of want to avoid the Gap in the summer.

Trip, what's the fastest route to the gap from Boston?

But seriously... jeep and trailer with bike. Fastest way to Tapoco? The way google maps gave me or no?

I am going to shout this because this is important.

DO NOT FOLLOW GOOGLE MAPS IF YOU ARE COMING FROM NORTH OF KNOXVILLE VIA 40. IF YOU ARE COMING FROM 75, YOU ARE FINE.

Downtown knoxville is a cluster fuck right now because they are doing construction that has closed the interstate through there.

once you get to interstate 81 (not going to deal with the shit from boston to 81, you can get google maps to do it for you), take 81 to 40 just outside knoxville, when you start getting close to knoxville take 640 completely around downtown knoxville. Once you get back on 40/75 heading south, you want to get off at exit 376 which is I-140 and you want to go towards Maryville which is going to take you around the roundabout after you go under the underpass. Take 140 to exit 11 and make a right onto 129. Follow that all the way to Tapoco.

Or those with Verizon cell phones download the VZ navigator. The new addition that was released in the beginning part of may has automatic traffic updates and will re route you around road construction and trafiic jams..... It's $2.99 daily subscription (24hours) However it does cost "data" charges unless you are on the America's choice plans. Check with your local store.... or ask me and I will check too.
