I am building a list of TN members, private message me your info
name, city, zip, e-mail or phone #, and what MV you own/drive.

I have 14 SS's on the list so far and have reached out to the knoville group and the Nashville group. I think it is reasonable to attempt a rally summer of 2013. Land Between the Lakes is looking like the most central spot right now.

Attn: TN members. I recevied an invite to all TN SS members to an event in September.
the invite is from our Knoxville group Gary Henderson of "The Knoxville Military Vehicle Club" He replied with the following:
I am sure some in our group would like to meet some other vehicle owners somewhere in the future. One thing we do every Sept is the group camp at Tennessee State Parks: Fall Creek Falls which is more like a boy scout camp, small cabins ( bunk beds, one electric outlet , screened windows and door ), shower houses, and large mess hall for $120 per night. Might be a good place for a gathering. We will be there Sept 7/8 leaving the 9th. If you have no plans think on joining us and check it out. This is a family event so there will be wives and children present. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I will e-mail each of you who have already sent me your e-mails. I will do my best to attend this event and meet more MV owners in TN, and perhaps boost support for a Statewide rally next spring or summer.

Plenty of places to off road and camp around manchester, woods reservoir, the unused sections of AEDC(most of the bubba truckers here go out that way and its perfectly legal).

BTW PM sent with my info, I don't have any MV's yet but i have a Cummins powered dodge with a banks kit in it.

Hi Dwight,
I am waiting to hear back from Gary Henderson of the Knoxville MV club on the rate. I do know it is $120 per cabin, now I am confirming if it is per night or $120 for the weekend. Also I have asked tennmogger about food to see if we need money for a mess tent or if we need to bring our own rations. I do know fall creek falls has a great general store for supplies. Lets hope this heat wave is gone by September.

Thanks
Jedawson

Jedawson,
We have the smaller 100 person group camp# I Tennessee State Parks: Fall Creek Falls: Lodging. It has 19 small cabins with 3 bath houses and a mess hall. We just split the cost by the # of cabins taken.The rate is $120+tax per night for the entire group camp. They do add $1 per guest after 50 people. Last year it ended up costing $35 per cabin, not too costly for two nights of camping. As for food we all share meals. We have done that in the past, especially breakfast. Some things like bacon and eggs can easily be brought by each of us and pitched in for breakfast. We share cooking duty, and cleanup duty. Some like the Friday night seafood buffet at the lodge, $22 for all you can eat. Sat. night we cook out so bring something to throw on the grill.
We will have one or 2 Deuces, maybe a couple of Unimogs, 1 HMMWV and a M151 so a Five ton will fit right in.
That weekend is their Mountain Festival, live music, food and vendors so there are other things to do besides sit around the fire,( my favorite thing ).
No booking needed, hope ya can make it.

FYI This is a Tennessee State Park they do have rules, they are listed on their web site. I will say they do like the big trucks coming in.

If anyone is in my area and see my truck just start hollering I'll stop. Im having trouble posting pics tonight, but its a big green flatbed Cucv so its hard to miss lol.

If you guys still want to have a rally somewhere around here in Tn count me in and probably a buddy or two.
