Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017 Posted by: RMO 699F Date: September 30, 2017 10:26AM Robert White....although there will certainly be occasional altitudes of 2/3k feet on mountain drives, according to my gps last year, I was surprised to see that the community of Townsend is only about 800 feet above sea level...less than my flat land location in Tipp City, Ohio...

Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017 Posted by: MGBV8 Date: September 30, 2017 10:32AM Or over 5,000+ feet if you drive the Cherohala Skyway. :)

Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017 Posted by: mowog1 Date: October 01, 2017 11:39PM Jean and I am really looking forward to "The Gathering" in Townsend next weekend and will be arriving late Thursday afternoon...in the 1972 MGB....unless something catastrophic happens to it this week. And...just as a reminder....if you are planning on attending the cookout at Mickey and Janet Richaud's chateau on Friday night, please bring $10 per person to cover the cost of the evening, which Mickey has shouldered so far. Looks like we'll have a great turnout...looking forward to seeing you all...making some great drives...and having a lot of fun!!

Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017 Posted by: britcars Date: October 02, 2017 10:07AM Arrived in Pigeon Forge from Nashville yesterday afternoon, planning to be at the Tally Ho Thursday afternoon. Phil & Pam

Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017 Posted by: mowog1 Date: October 02, 2017 10:17AM Phil.... There is a great car collection in Sevierville. [www.musclecarmuseum.com] There is also the Tennessee Air Museum at the airport.... [tnairmuseum.com] Don't let humanity get to you in PF or Gatlinburg. Consider driving through Wears Valley to get to Townsend. You can avoid Gatlinburg (but would miss the Little River Road).

Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017 Posted by: kstevusa Date: October 02, 2017 12:40PM Good to hear you made it Phil! We plan to arrive Thursday pm. Drop over and we'll have a "DICKEL"

Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017 Posted by: MGBV8 Date: October 02, 2017 01:08PM Since you are already immersed in that giant tourist trap, might as well drive thru Gatlinburg to get to the Smokey Mtn National Park. You do not want to miss the drive to Townsend via the Little River Road!

Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017 Posted by: mowog1 Date: October 02, 2017 03:46PM I now prefer Wears Valley Road over driving through Gatlinburg. We'll have opportunity to show Phil the Little River Road during the weekend.

Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017 Posted by: RMO 699F Date: October 03, 2017 07:54AM Hey guys....unfortunately medical issues will be preventing Kay and me from attending this week....no game changers on the medical issues, just slow healing after a couple of recent surgeries. This will be only the second time we have have missed this fun event over the years. Have a great time and will see you all next year! Mike

Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017 Posted by: britcars Date: October 03, 2017 05:14PM Carl, we spent some time in that giant tourist trap (Gatlinburg) yesterday and left some $ for parking and a ride on the gondola. Enjoyed the views and then got out of town, back to that other tourist trap.......Pigeon Forge. Rick, I think we will take Wears Valley Rd. to Townsend on Thursday.
