Author | Topic: Smokies from Florida |
prowlerbabe![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Treasure Island, Florida |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I was wondering if any Florida Kat owners would be interested in grouping together for the trip to the Smokies. I will be leaving with the Kat box sometime Sunday August 24th and plan on making a stop somewhere along the way to stay at a hotel Sunday night (12 hour drive from Clearwater) and arriving in Pigeon Forge sometime Monday afternoon. (Check in is at 3:00 at the Music Road Hotel.) I will be traveling up I-75 the entire way. If anyone is interested and this plan coincides with your itinerary, please let me know. I'd love to travel with a group of people. Thanks, Kendra ![]() |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Mike, why Saturday, doesn't the event begin Monday evening? You all got something special planned? |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Kendra, the event starts Monday but I think the Sunday pre event show should rival the Superbowl halftime! |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yes Kendra, Jay Harris, the unofficial President of the Florida Chapter has good things planned!!! Com on Jay where are you?? DQ |
YELLER CAT![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:FLORIDA, USA |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Here I am... These are some "TENTATIVE PLANS" and I emphasize "TENTATIVE" awaiting more input from other Florida Cats that are heading for the Great Smokey Mountains. At this time, the YELLER CAT is heading North early Saturday morning via the Turnpike with the possibility of 4 or 5 more Cats joining in along the way. Our departure time and rendezvous will depend on those desiring to make the journey with us, so everyone should post something and I will finalize the YELLER CAT's plans with hopes that a bunch of us can get together. Plans are to continue the Saturday drive all day until we reach Stockbridge, GA, just South of Atlanta. Currently we are checking out the room accommodations there. Anyone have any "personal" experiences with this area's accommodations? Departure Sunday morning from Stockbridge is being favored to miss the usual Saturday or Monday traffic through Atlanta... Sunday morning seems to be the best time for missing the usual Atlanta congestion and delays. Arrival in Pigeon Forge will be early Sunday afternoon giving us time to relax before the Monday's events. Also, I have promised some other Prowler Owners I would be available Monday for some installations. Again, these are the YELLER CAT's plans being we are traveling from the furthest South. This provides everyone else an idea of when and where they may join in. There are 2 other South Florida Owners attending but they are leaving several days earlier so we will meet up with them in Pigeon Forge on Sunday. PLEASE post your "preferred" route and times ASAP... these are only suggestions for consideration. THANKS, Jay |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Jay, myself and Gordon Karns are going up to Pigeon Forge on Sunday as well. Maybe we could hook up with you. I live just north of Atlanta just off I-75. I am not sure just yet what route Eddie Powell is taking but he is also going up on Sunday. I will be trailering my Kat. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() STAY TUNED... same channel for more information as it develops. Sounds GREAT Rich... any suggestions South of Atlanta (Stockbridge) for lodging? Talk about an arrival... WOW, this will be lots of Cats coming in the same time... what a beautiful sight! Jay |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For those arriving on Sunday I am quite sure we can find something interesting to do - and of course stand around the parking lot admiring everyone's kats! Rebecca & I and Garty & Kelly Archer will arrive Sunday in late morning or early afternoon depending on how we feel after the Saturday night NASCAR race at Bristol. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Mike, I can go for that! Maybe we can meet at the Land O Lakes rest area on 75 between highway 56 & 54. Just let me know what time. Kendra |
Eddie Powell![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Marietta , Georgia |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It looks like I will be the only one driving my car from GA. OR Fla. , I think I will take a more senic route through the mountains. My Kat would get lost between all those trailers on I-75. This message has been edited by Eddie Powell on 08-03-2003 at 11:21 AM |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hello fellow Florida Kats traveling to the Smokies. We are going to leave Saturday to meet up with the east coast Florida Kats who are coming up the turnpike. The Turnpike intersects with I 75 just north of Tampa and I was thinking this would be a good place to meet.Please email or post as time is getting short. Kendra are we still traveling together on Saturday? and if so what do you think of the meeting area? Mike DQman |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Regarding our Saturday nite stay South of Atlanta... if you are waiting on me, then you will have sweat it until Tuesday. Nancy's brother who lives in Atlanta is out of town until Tuesday. When he returns, he is going to personally check out the parking, accommodations in the Stockbridge area. Our alternative that we have is North of Atlanta @ a Hampton Inn, next door to a TARGET. The TARGET Manager has given us permission to use their parking lot so we can all park together. However, we still prefer staying South of Atlanta and Tuesday's investigation may find a similar parking arrangement... a shopping center next door or an office building... something. More later, but for sure Tuesday afternoon. Nancy and I will be leaving Saturday "about" 7:00 AM... much later than we would like, but we have recently moved and the Yeller Cat and trailer will still be at the old house which requires us driving South then back North before we get started, so if anyone needs to leave earlier, we'll just catch up as quick as the Hemi can. Based on the Yeller Cat's departure time from Ft. Lauderdale (7:00 AM), how about someone posting some rendezvous points and times, remembering that the Hemi will only go as fast as the signs posted on the side of the road. This is going to be FUN, FUN, FUN... we are counting the days. Need to talk... Office 800 669 3540 or Cell 954 812 3008. Best wishes, Jay |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sorry Jay I had to leave town Thursday to attend my Aunt's Funeral in North Carolina. I did not see your post as we just got back this evening. Eddie is a great guy and I am she he has taken good care of you. Looking forward to seeing you. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Kendra, I would estimate 3.5 hours from Ft laud to the I 75 intersection. That would give us a meet time of 10.30 AM to 11 AM. Does that seem right to you? I also will be leaving Marco at 7 AM and I figure I will be into the Tampa Clearwater area at 9.30. Now we need a meeting spot if you think my calculations are reasonable. Mike Jay we are waiting till Tues for the overnight info, post as soon as you know who to call,. Mike DQ Cell 239 404 1166 This message has been edited by thedqman on 08-18-2003 at 07:11 AM |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Mike, I-75 meets the Florida Turnpike up near Wildwood, which is about 1 hour 20 minutes north of Tampa. If you are coming up I-75 we can meet at the Land O Lakes rest stop between Highway 56 & 54. That would be about a 3-1/2 drive for you (I think) - so we could meet at the rest area about 10:30 if you are leaving at 7 AM. Mapquest says that from Ft Lauderdale to Wildwood is 4-1/2 hours - Jay, do you think the Hemi can do it in 3-1/2? ![]() |
YELLER CAT![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:FLORIDA, USA |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The HEMI can do it... however, I can not! Limited budget has not included any funds for "donations" to our State Trooper's Retirement Fund... sorry! Another request... PLEASE everyone that is meeting along the way, post your intentions as where we can meet and the times. Most of all, post your Cellular Number so we can check in when we are in your designated area. This includes other than Florida Cats too... the ones that we will be meeting Sunday Morning North of Atlanta. Don't forget your walkie-talkies... the "Official" channel is 13.0. It's not long now till the FUN, FUN, FUN begins. Jay Yeller Cat Cellular # 954 812 3008 & 954 812 3010 |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Jay, do you think meeting at the I-75/Florida Turnpike intersection at about 11:30 - 12:00 would work. I'll get with Mike/DQ man to see if that would be good for him. My cell phone is 727-448-4564. The kat is already in the kat box ready to go & I can't wait! Kendra ![]() |
