Doc, I'd come back down but this time I try not to take the Harlan route, it was a bit tough.

 

OK guys and girls, this is just FWIW thing. Nothing at all against what was schedule at Truckstock which, was IMO, a first class event. What if we all drove to where we ate, any excuse to drive the trucks. That Pine Mountain Grill appeared to be a great place to eat. Less work for Shane and Amy. Wouldn't a bunch of old Ford trucks look good lined up outside? Anybody who drove a modern truck would have to park in back
I would love to see many original type trucks show up but face it, at fifty mph cruise speed or less it takes a while to get somewhere in these old trucks. I believe there were just two of us who drove original type trucks for any distance. I can only imagine what Bob and Michelle endured on their seven hundred plus mile one way journey.

 

OK, it is time for us to take vote and start to plan for the next Truckstock 2013 I VOTE DOCS PLACE, thats 1 SPONGE BOB VOTES DOCS THATS 2

My truck won't even be close to ready and my daughter will start college next fall, but I will start scheming to see if I can get away for it. I have a Truckstock picture as my wallpaper. People at work have asked if any of them are mine. I just laugh and say I wish....Western TN would be a lot closer for me, but Doc's looks beautiful.

 

Doc has the best food in the south I vote Doc plus Tenn. Is one most beautiful place's at
that time of the year and I miss it lost year .I'm not going to miss it again...:-) :-) :-) mountain Food is the best that's what Garry said...:-) :-) :-) :-)

 

Very good points, Ray. I wouldn't want to eat in town every meal, but at least one big meal a day would be great. In a place that can seat us all together.

Having our trucks there is essential, to the greatest extent possible. That's why I think regionals are a good idea; even if I had a decked-out rig like Garry's or Kevin's, much more than 300-400 miles requires at least a 4-day weekend, maybe more. Gas ain't cheap, either.

 

Homemade if we all get to vote too be fair to Doc (and so he can keep his happy home) Amy better have the final vote !!

 

OK it's settled if Doc wants to put it on ,Then pick a date and start planning.I would imagine most of the original group will sign up.Now for a novel ideal.Why not have more than one? WE could do Docs in the fall and maybe one in east Tenn,or north Ga,Wi. or anyplace else in the spring or early summer.Maybe Townsend on a off week end.There are lots to chose from.Being retired frees up my dates.

 

Hmmm... I may even fly out to the next TS.

 

Ray, the drive wasn't bad at all. The F-2 drove like I was used to. It's an old truck and it drove like it, which I really enjoyed. I just took my time and enjoyed the scenery in IN and KY.

Boy, you're arms are going to be tired

 

sounds like I need to mapquest my place to Doc's!

 

Just ride with Bob.

I'm curious if Bob will drive the F2 to Doc's place again if Doc hosts the 2nd annual TS.

 

I don't think we should be volunteering Doc. Let's explore all the possibilities before heaping all the work onto any one person, especially if more people are involved.
Besides, Doc's place has snakes...

 

Hey panelman if you fly into greenville I will pick you up.and we can ride together.

 

Ross are you talking about the guy that showed up with the Chevy?I kinda liked him.Then there is the hay to bale and fence to paint.If enough guys show up early we can all help out.
