I've given my work notice and put this trip on my calendar. I'm thinking about leaving Tuesday (10th) and arriving in Marietta Friday evening. I'll run up through Arkansas and then maybe straddle the Mississippi River for a while before turning east. After the rally er..... RAMBLE, I will take the long way home.
I'm planning to bring the Tequila.
Depending on how far you are gonna travel on Friday, my plan may fit with your plan....
I have a Masters Class that I cannot get out of. But Friday, I am heading East. I can take the Slab and get there by Noon or head South East and bisect somewhere likely along your route depending on how far you plan on traveling on Friday.
Possibly hook up somewhere in the Hoosier Forest of Indiana. I bet someone can lead us toward the best roads in Kentucky to pull into Marietta.
I will bring the Jim Beam Maple.
