Dirt Devil, November 12th. Who's going?

I thought about confirming, but...
Sorry I missed it. I'm reading through the updates and taking notes.

 

Before I do, check your inbox from last night (actually 8 min past midnight for you). If I sent it to the wrong person, I don't want to make the same mistake twice

 

Yes you did! I even wrote it down on my notes.

Sorry I have to cancel too. too much going on around this time for me right now

 

My status as well, so I'm glad I actually sent it to you!

 

Well now! My trip just got better! I'm a 4 hour + drive each way from Dirt Devil. As it was, I had to drive home, get unloaded, grab a few hours of sleep and be at work by 4:30 AM on Sunday morning. Status just changed! One of my employees needs off Monday and Tuesday, (usually off Sunday/Monday) so he's covering for me on Sunday. Now we can take our sweet time about getting home, sleep late, take all day Sunday to get unloaded and wash the truck! Hurray for our side!

 

Update @Bluegrass Taco ... Map arrived today. I will try to do a "flyover" in Google Earth this weekend to look for features, and make notes of what is/isn't paved.

 

The map is hard to decipher. I made my own route in google earth and I can email the file to you which might make things easier. It is about 90 miles altogether and makes for a nice loop ride with a possible stop for lunch in Centerville. I'm out of town right now, but PM me sometime after Sunday and I'll send it to you. I have it as both a .kml and a .gpx file.

 

That woul dbe great, @Dave41079, will do. I had someone share a log of ~15 miles of it from the Track Kit app. I havent quite learned how to use it yet, but I think it can import .kml, as well.

 

@rmepilot @incogneato @NKYTaco @toycoma2016,

OK....Here's the TacomaWorld members going Saturday. (+ me!) We also have one other confirmed (From Expedition Portal) and MAYBE 2 other....But 6 for sure!

I have a list of cell #'s and will call if any sudden changes (which I do not anticipate)

We will meet @ 4348 Old Hillsboro Rd Franklin, Tn 37064 (Leiper's Fork Market) @ or near 9AM, with departure time no later than 10AM. (Sooner if everyone is there and ready)

Take I 40 (west from I 65) to exit 206, turn left. Merge on to US 431 S/TN-106, via exit 3. Turn RIGHT on to Old Hillsboro Rd. T46. 4348 Old Hillsboro is on the right.

See y'all there!

 

Not to be that guy, but it's @toycoma 2016. The other toycoma is from canada. I dont think he's gonna come this far to wheel. LOL see ya'll Saturday. Thanks

 

Fixed it for you! Sorry.....

 

So far, 7 of us....5 Tacoma's, a Sequoia, and a Jeep Comanche. 1 or 2 "maybe's" still.....

 

Hey guys, I've been keeping an eye on this thread... I don't have my taco any more, but have a decent Land Rover Discovery 2. I might be there, if you don't mind?

 

Please do come on and go with us! We'll have a Jeep and a Toyota Sequoia along for the ride. LRD2 will be a nice compliment,,,,,

 

Awesome! what kind of trails should I expect? can I get route info?

 

I've never been there before, so I don't know all that much about it. From what I hear, it's a mix of old paved roads, 2-track gravel, some dirt roads, and creek beds/water crossings. Nothing too challenging, but a really good ride.

There is a link earlier in the thread for map info I do believe.

 

I won't have a working CB, I ripped my antenna off my rig last time I went to Woolys...
Can the lead guy send me a PM or text with contact info.

Post #30 has all the info on where to meet. I'll PM you my cell#.

 

I've never been but have both the paper map and a kml file, courtesy of @Dave41079 (thanks!) loaded in the Track Kit app (which will be my first time to use). It looks like our meet-up location is 13 miles from the start.

The Track Kit map is 93 miles, but there are several options to shorten it, if that is too much in a day for the travelers.
