I'm a maybe along with another local guy with an XJ.
That's what happens when you have a SEC event not in the southeast.
Not sure who originaly put KY in the midwest, its southern alll the way.

I don't disagree at all, you guys are as southern as all the rest. But when you have an event at the far border of the chapter, you will get minimal participation from people who have to drive a long way.
Nobody from florida is coming to the crawl. It's a 9 hour drive for me from just from the coast.
We are limited on wheeling areas. Even tellico didn't lend itself well to a lot of the members in the far eastern and southern parts of the chapter.
It's kind of like having WF in indiana and expecting someone from north dakota to drive down. Just not going to happen.
So it's easy to see why people from IN, OH, and PA would make plans to come down, because it's the same drive as someone from TN, AL or NC/SC.
Last crawl at Harlan had someone from Florida........
Rambo. He was from around Miami. Loooooonnnnggggg drive.
Harlan was the best place we could find, bang for your buck. Cheap permits, town/fuel nearby, camping at the trailhead. It is just about 1.5 hours over the TN line. We hoped to attract some MWC guys and more NC, and VA area peeps.
Sometimes good wheelin' is just on the other side of the tracks.
RedHeep, we figured we would draw some MWC guys by the location. Hey Brian and Pat are fun to ride with...what can I say.

Stacey and I are going. Nick and his wife are going. We will all be there Thursday night. Can't wait.
I'm in for this as of now. Arrive Thursday, leave Sunday.
Craig, do you want to convoy it down there again? I think I can go faster than 60 now that I have a real truck.
KY was NOT in the SEC when the MWC did it's initial land grab.
So, that is why, we took every thing that was not already in a chapter, OK, LA, ect.
We would have even taken Alaska and Hawaii.....
Brian are you going to camp up top like last time or will you try to get more towards the bottom? Ed and myself have cabins, I think Mark too. Not sure where though. Seems like they are near the bottom except the huge one.
I doubt the HOtel will make it up the hill, I have a spot reserved at teh bottom.
