My apologies to everyone, my attempt to attend Sat's M&G in Knoxville turned into a comedy of errors which ended in an Epic Fail.

Fist I must have jinxed myself when I mentioned the sinkhole on I-75...thought they would have finished the repairs by now. Had I known they hadn’t I would have adjusted my route and departure time accordingly. Unfortunately the repairs were still very much underway and I-75 south was still closed at Jellico.

However detour did take us along a very scenic winding mountain two lane road. While I'm a fully trained mountain back roads driver I cannot say the same for the hordes of I-75 drivers that were forced to traverse 25W from Jellico allllll the way down to Caryville. UGH!

By the time I finished with my jaunt through the hills of east Tenn I was already late. Not one to be deterred I continued onward in hopes of catching the crew before too much time had passed. As I neared, what I thought was my destination, misfortune was again my guide, or in this case piss poor planning, as I forgot to bring my directions.

Guess I need to move into the 21[SUP]st[/SUP] Cent and spring for a GPS or at least a smart phone so I can connect to the internet. Yeah my cell phone is so old it has a rotary dial...

Really hate I missed you guys this time around. Hopefully my next attempt will end in success.

I thought I read something about a small get together. Lol.

I'm still debating it...... Don't want to get out there and get stuck and look like a dumb@&$. But I want to meet too.

They just said on the news today they were going to open up at least one lane this afternoon. A couple days late lol

I planned on going to CC Saturday, but I realized I double booked. Since I agreed to the M&G first I decided to eat BBQ :)

Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with getting stuck and acting like a dumb@$$. I've never really done any wheeling except for gravel roads and some logging roads here and there. I don't want to be out of my league. I got stuck in a ditch in a 2wd ford ranger. Acting stupid. But we had a good time getting it out.

Well even with the misadventures I still had a good trip. I'd never been on 25W before, gonna keep that route in mind for a fall leaf peeping trip and I at least got some BBQ, ribs at Calhouns. Did some shopping in the big city and had a pretty darn good milkshake from MOOYAH's! Besides driving my X is always fun no matter the destination.

I will stay on the lookout for the next Knoxville M&G.
