Well...I have noticed "LOT's" of people registered for this thing we call Wake the Dragon !!!! Guess it's time to get the Cincy Caravan list started, for "WTD-2009"...As in the past...we will be departing Hooter's Newport, Kentucky somewhere aroun 9,9:30...or 10:00AM ?????? on Thursday Morning 4/23/09( Just when everyone is ready..!!! )
....for those that don't know...or don't remember, Hooter's is located @ 301 Riverboat Row, Newport, Kentucky, 41017....PLEASE.....arrive with a "FULL" tank of gas.....!!!!! We will meet & greet, as in the past...take some pics...etc. When we are ready.... ( set radios for 4.2 !!!! )we will depart. Group-up on the entrance ramp to I-471.....and on the "Flag-Drop" via I-471.....head for I-275, then I-75 South....thru Lexington, and the Gravity Cavity, straight down to Berea Ky, where we will get off the Interstate on the 2nd exit to Berea Rt.-21.....We will fuel-up, eat and mingle a bit...probably meet-up with a few stragglers, and the Central Ky, peeps..as well as some from the Indy area, that may be coming..!!! Re-group..and head for Alcoa/Marysville....!!! I-75 South to the Knoxville area...( MALFUNCTION JUNCTION ) I-75/640/I-275....!!!!!! Take I-275 Straight ahead....( follow the group ) We will stay on I-275 till it dead-ends into I-40...Take I-40 West...till the first exit ( stay in the RIGHT lane....) We will get off @ 129/Alcoa highway...Stay on 129 / Alcoa Highway, till just past McGhee Tyson airport..( can't miss-it, on the right ) just past the Airport, be in the LEFT lane...bear-off on 35 ( to the LEFT ). We will make a STOP...in this area, ( to be determined later ) for GAS, BEER, BOOZE FOOD etc... Be sure to gas-up....Not much available from this point on.....
We will re-group !!!! On the other side of Alcoa/ Marysville, bear to the LEFT...This is Highway 321....Stay on 321 till we arrive @ the Foothills Parkway...RE-GROUP !!!
.................................................. .................................................. ...............
.................................................. .................................................. ...............

Now for a LITTLE change, from years past....Some of us are going to head for Gatlinburg, TN...... Most of you will head for the Dragon / Fontana, via the Foothills. We will see you late that night...or in the morning...!!! Have a "SAFE" drive over !!!!and watch for "Ranger Rick"...on the Parkway !!!!!

Those that are going to G-Burg....we will continue on 321, ...to 73 !!! We will take 73, thru the Smokies ( twisties )over the mountain, and in to G-Burg...Shop, have dinner @ the Park Grill !!! ( my favorite ) ...then after awhile, you will be in for a "REAL-TREAT"....We will head-back to Fontana...and you will drive the Dragon @ Night.....

********* If you are leaving from Hooter's with us, just post. I will keep the list current, as possible.....Doesn't matter if you are NOT, going to Gatlinburg. For now all I need to know is if you are coming on the "Cincy-Caravan"....
