Tennessee Dirt Devil // November 12th

We're up to 6 CONFIRMED and maybe 6 "possibles".....I've watched several videos (You Tube) with groups of well over 30. We also have 1 of those confirmed that have done Dirt Devil at least 2 times.

One of these guys is going....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0s7H3_Aj2Yk

 

Ahh okay. It just seemed like there we're going to be a lot of people, maybe because I've seen it in so many different places. A group of 30 would be miserable there.

 

We have a lot of "interested", but not interested enough to say they're going. A favorite old saying I adopted from my dad; "Until it's in the boat, it's just a fish story".

I'm looking for around 12 to a max of 14 based on early interest. These days' if you get 2 people on the same agenda, it's a success.....

 

Daria is counting 3 confirmed. I have 3 (plus myself) that I can depend on, plus 2 more I'd bet will go. Then 3 that really want to go if everything works out where they can. Then it gets sketchy....I have a long list of "I want to go"...You know how that can work out. .If we get too many, I'm going to suggest breaking into smaller groups at intervals to prevent the long line. If the Jeep guy who's been 2 times already is good with it, he'll be up front. My plan is to follow up in the rear of the line if at all possible. I'm old and slow. (or else lead a second group...)

Numbers are changing, up and down constantly.....But totals aren't exactly breaking records so far.

 

If possible, add me to interested list. Kids sports will be the only conflict.

 

Interested also. Kind of a newbie so it seems like a decent trail for that?

 

2wd friendly, you will be absolutely fine

 

My list is changing and evolving. Still have 2 guys who aren't members on TW, but ARE active off roaders that are in. One of the disabled vets that was coming along is now scheduled for back surgery the week before, so, looks like he's out. After watching all the You Tube video's, my wife will make me go even if NO ONE else goes! She's very excited about this trip. A small group of Midwest Overlanders is scheduled to go on a trip we have planned for October 21/22/23 to Black Mountain. Several of them will let me know then if they're in for Dirt Devil. That will be a very diverse group if they go. Everything from Range Rovers to 4wd vans....

 

I'm still on the fence because I have no idea what my school schedule will look like next week, much less two months away. They have basically told me that my schedule is theirs until I graduate in May. I probably won't have more than a week or two notice to let you know if I can go or not.

 

I guess that is to get you used to the rest of your career in that field.....Long hours of hard work and little time to relax.....

 

I'm in, as long as my lift arrives and is installed.

 

I'll be doing 3 in 4 weekends.

 

I'm @ 99,460 now. Average over 400 a week. The 3 trips I'll be taking are wrapped around vacation days....I have about 30 days to use up before the end of the year.

 

Add me as interested please and thank you. I'll come be the overly built for this if it's for 2WD haha

 

I'm ok with that, will be fun to meet some more members and chill. Close enough for a day trip for me.
