    Hence why I constantly get asked "does the roof come off?"

    The OP asked that the title be changed from Tuesday to Monday. So it has been requested, so it has been fulfilled.

    I am. I live in Piqua and plan to leave around 9 AM, so I can beat the morning rush thru Dayton and Cincinnati, grab some lunch in Corbin, KY, and still pass thru Knoxville before the afternoon rush hour. Hopefully, I'll get checked in by around 6 PM.

    I take US 129 South out of Maryville to Deals Gap, make the jog onto NC 28 South and head to Fontana. After I turn into Fontana Village, YOU will stay on 28 to US 74. Turn LEFT onto US 74 East towards Bryson City and your lodging.

    :Thumbsup: Sounds good wmwny! I'll PM you and see if we can hook up. We can definitely be in Piqua by 9:00 and we wouldn't be opposed to getting an earlier start even. One of my suppliers is actually based in Piqua - Emerson/Copeland!

    Any other takers out there??

    Leaving Detroit Monday morning if you want to switch a day. We will be driving with a dozen MINI's or so.

    Sounds like Monday is a go. Hotel is now booked for extra day. I got Monday off of both jobs. Now just waiting on reply from my wife's work for extra day off. Pretty sure it won't be a problem. :cornut:

    Leaving at 5 AM should get him to Fontana when he says, but I'm pretty sure the restaurant won't even be open yet when he blows in! :devil: He drives by HIS speed limit! :eek6:

    It is only a 6hr 49min drive from Grove City, so that leaves 11 minutes to spare.

    Don't know what people are harping about. I've done the drive a few times in the rain on carpy tires for the conditions in like 7 hours. It's not a difficult drive at all. The roads are good and if one avoids the built up areas during "drive times" it's really quite relaxing.
