Default Expo & C7

I doubt you will see the C7, could be wrong. The Expo, going back some 25 years, really does not get the GM nod it probably deserves.
However, the move from Knoxville to Sevierville has taken away some of the charm, combined with fewer vendors. Not to mention Sevierville is impossible to get around, especially in the fall, with all the leaf watchers.

Still a neat day or two get a way. Hotels are plenty, and reasonable, the friday night cruise is usually fun if the weather holds up, and visit old friends; kinda kicks off the spring......

I went to both spring and fall for three years in a row. I skipped both last year. I'm going to head up for the spring event. I drive up from Florida, partially for the event but mostly to give the Vette a workout in the mountains. I'll be selling the C5 soon so one more romp down the dragon will be nice. I'll leave Friday morning and make it up in time for the cruise.

Im driving up thursday after work and a buddy told me to check your route before you leave. In the deals gap area there were some mudslides and some roads are closed and wont be open anytime soon, probably be worse after this rain runs thru....may want to check!!!
See you there!!!

We'll start planning the route next week. Byron is working with a restaurant in Sevierville for the crowd. It'll likely be one of those near the "Titanic", maybe the "Hatfield and McCoy" dinner theater, they have a large parking lot.
