WKY GTG Fall 2012

[Mastermind]

We're about ready......

 

[gcdible1]

My next truck will most likely be a Ford. I had planned on having a new truck before the GTG but I honestly havent had any free time to go truck shopping. My Dodge has 200K on it now. I just got it back on the road after changing the steering shaft. It stripped out at the steering box and left me stranded a mile from my house. Luckily I was stopped when it stripped.

Most of my ride is I81 and I40. I'll be going through Knoxville and Nashville on my way there. Going to be a good ride. Never been far past Knoxville that way. I've made the drive to Terry Landrums before. I think she'll hold up for me. I just changed the oil and I'd like to get an alignment job done on it this week so I don;t wear out my new Mickey T's.

BTW: It's a red, extended cab Sport. '97 model. Stop and scoop us up if you do see it on the side of the road.

Im about the same distance myself. Dont think im going to make the trip. Really really wanna go but prob not a good idea right now for me. BTW Funny my brother has the same truck but its a black one. Had about the same steering issues too. He likes it because the parts are old school and cheaper and easier to replace than newer stuff. My Duramax has never been cheap to fix, but I love it. Hope you have fun and a safe and not stranded trip.

Your last name Griswald? That sure seems an out of the way route from VA to W KY. I'd think 64 through WV and down, or come through the gap and hit the Cumberland in KY would be the quickest routes... but I have no clue where you are or mapped the routes. bing puts me at 3& half so in my beater it will be 4... those big ol mudders don't like flopping around much above 65 mph.

I thought the same thing, but the navigation and google maps both put that as the shartest route. 7 1/2 hours. Next best route I could find was no better than 8 1/2. I'm in the SW tip of Va. Not 45 minutes from Tn.

.... I'm in the SW tip of Va. Not 45 minutes from Tn.

Ah, down around Harlan and Pineville KY. Know the places and the roads well. No direct rout to anywhere through there.

Well when (if) our motivated gov't officials ever see fit to put in I-66 you'll be set for the next GTG....

If anyone can help I'd be glad to pay for your troubles. My local Stihl dealers can't get me a 56dl loop of PS3 chain in time. If anyone has a dealer close by that stocks full chisel pico chain please pick me up a loop.

Given that I-66 runs west from D.C. I do not see how an extension would help getting to Kentucky (especially from Southwest Virginia). If I-66 was to go farther west, it would go north of I-64 anyway.

Is that the rest of my saw?

No the plan is to drop down south of 64, through Begley WV, Hazard and London KY and tie into (follow) the Cumberland parkway at Somerset KY and continue through Bowling Green KY. and on out west some where....
