NC Departure

I'll be leaving and heading down I-85 south through my hometown to highway 181 out of Morganton. I'll be leaving on Wednesday depending on my work schedule and how gracious my boss is. If I have Wednesday off I'll be leaving at around 8 or 9 in the morning. If I have to work I'll leave as soon as I get off.

Aiming for a 6am departure Monday Morning. Planning on 85 to 321 to 40 to 26.
 
I am suppose to go Tuesday am but Glenn has summer school and it's over when he finishes or the 2nd which is Wednesday. So if he gets done I'll go Tuesday and my route takes me up to Spartanburg where we always stop at The Beacon for an oil change.... lol http://www.beacondrivein.com/ Then we head straight up 26 to Ashville and catch 23 to Gate City and 421 over to Harlan. Cannot wait to get there and get some wheeling in.

Heck, if you end up leaving Wednesday let me know. Your trip is 80% the same route I'm taking.

Will Do! Will all depend on Glenn. IF he has to stay we will not leave till close to noon. :cool:
 
You're about the closest to the route I'll be taking. I'm leaving mid day Wednesday. I might run into ya. Probably not.

Heck y'all let me know too about when y'all leave. Looks like I'd run into y'all around Johnson City. I should know by mid-week next week exactly what times I have off and when I can leave. I'll be making a pit stop in my hometown to grab a spare set of axle shafts for the rear and possibly grab a couple extra tools too.
 
Well it's looking like I won't get off till 5 on Wednesday, so that's when I'll be leaving. That'll put me at the campground around 10-10:30

Text me when you leave town and if you have any troubles on the way up.

Will do. So far I've gotten my front end straightened out to where it actually handles pretty good (for not having the front sway bar hooked up). Got the track bar completely in and did the CAD disconnect. Last thing to do as far as the front end goes is a quick tape measure alignment.
