Don't give up yet. I'm driving up from Chattanooga and saw sunshine on the way.It may be cloudy but thats why they call them the Great Smokey Mountains.Just turn on WDBX and think sunny thoughts.

 

Regret it didn't turn out better for you Roger.....I hope too many are not headed home.....We'll still be here....Hoping to still get a good turn out for the BBQ tonight......Have our cottage rented until Wednesday.......Lots more for us to do up here, besides the car show.

 

I'd sure love to be there, rain or no rain... maybe next year

 

Home

Got home at 9 central time. So we beat our down time by a couple hours. I drove thru to west side of St. Louis then had my wife drive the rest. I'm tired and sleepy.

 

Glad you and your wife made it home safe and sound Roger.....It was good to meet you.....Glad you got to share in some of the fun my friend

Wow glad your safe `N ` sound :tu

 

It started raining on us going to Pigeon Forge about a third of the way into the trip. Marguerite ask if I wanted to turn around. I said no,were going on and I'm glad we did. It rained off & on the whole time but we had time in between showers and it was a great experience meeting such a good group of people. We will try to do it again next year. 525 miles round trip, probably 400 raining. My raingear wipers met the task headon. Nothing like driving in the great smokies in a down pour with dense fog on I-40.

 

i left around 3pm also.rain out side and water in the floor in my room from a leak in the water line.i thought i had the 55 sold but the guy never came back.

 

Well Roger, all I can say is you missed out. We set up a couple canopies Saturday morning during a lull in the rain and huddled underneath with our chairs and had a great time.
Something was missing though...some home brew and beef jerky... would have hit the spot.:sign0020:
Dixie and me, Bobby (smooth56) his wife, Starr, Blake (B/MP), his wife Margaret, Joe (Bamaboywoody), his wife Margaret, David C, his wife Pat, Troy (GREEN56), his brother Scott and his friend (sorry can't remember his name), Mickey and several others that came and went.
Dwight (dead carney) and his wife Lisa had their dogs with them, so didn't come over to the tent to stay long.
It was a little wet, but it was great telling stories back and forth, laughing and becoming really close friends jostling for positions under the tents to stay out of the rain.
One of the best times we've had at this event, believe it or not, in spite of the rain.

 

You'r rite Jeff one of the best day's there even though it rained. Roger sorry I didn't get you'r message until Sunday morning new phone don't know how I put it on vibrate lol.:blowtiedb:

 

Wanted to let you guys and girls know how much me and my wife Pat enjoyed the PF weekend. We met friends from last year and a few new ones this year. Thanks to Blake and wife Margaret for the use of the 2 EZ-UP canopies that we shared. Had a great time getting to talk to the other members and friends of Tri-Five.com. A big Thanks to David (POPS), for organizing the dinner at Tony Gore's BBQ. It was delicious, and we felt like we were at a family reunion. We only go to a few shows a year, and this one is at the top of our list. A really GREAT group of people. See ya'll next year!

 

Rain? Isn'y that just water? The way I see it if you go that far you might as well stay and enjoy the great company:tu I usually just close the hood and windows if its raining, the rest cleans up.

 

We left early Sunday going back, rained ( poured) the whole way but I had so much fun and got to talk to everyone I smiled all the way back and can't wait till next year!

I think this was the biggest bowtie-trifive member turnouts yet at Pigeon Forge.
We may need a couple more canopy tents next year. We could have used at least one more this year.
