Great Smokie Mtn Convoy 2

Unread post by hondo100 » October 20th, 2022, 5:59 pm

Just finished the GSM 2 convoy. This is organized by Terry Johns. We started in Monteagle, TN. Travelled all back roads to Chattanooga, Asheville NC, Gatlinburg, back to Chattanooga and then to the staging area at Monteagle in ten days. Did the "Tail-of-the-Dragon", TN - 318 turns in 11 miles. Just over 1000 miles in my A2 and recently restored M416. Great time, never did more than 125 miles a day, stopped at all the sites. Can't wait till June when we do the Black Hills.

Good Afternoon Everyone:

My wife and I had the pleasure of traveling on the Great Smokie Convoy with Hondo 100, his lovely wife and their in laws. His A2 ran great the whole time. He also did a great job on the restoration. It looks like it came off of the factory floor! Great travels and adventures with some new friends!! Untill the next First Gear!

Regards,

Walter
