Default RTD 2018 - Trippin' to Maryville to meet the OKI group

Okay, it's early and nobody is even thinking about joining me in my annual trip to Maryville to meet the OKI contingent as they come staggering in. As usual, we'll wander out of the Wildwood Grill parking lot around 1:30ish, drive the Dragon at some ridiculously sedate pace and head to the Exxon in Maryville. Once the OKI group manages to get to the Exxon, we'll leave Maryville in a motley group and go to dinner at Park Grill in Gatlinburg.
After dinner, we'll split up into two groups (the slow group and the old fogey group) and drive the Dragon at night.

You know the procedure, just post if you're interested and eventually I'll get around to adding your name to the list of usual suspects who join me in this twice a year quest.

Committed (or maybe should be):

1. kgf3076 (Ken)
2. GUTI007 (Justin and Melody)
3. Derka (Derek and Tiffany)
4. S2K Dude (Dave)
5. Artin

You mean like normal? We'll bring tents and sleeping bags so we can be ready when you finally arrive.

Mel and I, as always, are IN!

I have a dream of SC-ing the S and adding a hitch to be able to tow a small color matched tear drop camper...maybe one day we can incorporate that into waiting for OKI...
