Default Let's Invade Morristown and Blairsville!

Tomorrow's forecast (Saturday) for the SE is pretty much severe blue with a chance of sunburn, temperatures in the 60's and 70's....way too nice to stay home. So...if you're within 300 miles of the Smokies drag that bird out of the hangar first thing in the AM. Let's drop a big bunch of RV's on a few unsuspecting small airports.

First stop of the day is Brian's chapter fly-in at Morristown TN (KMOR). We can pillage the place until late morning.....

......then launch a flotilla to Blairsville GA (KDZJ), just 85 NM south over the big hill. It appears Chapter 1211 is serving chili from 11 to 2. Chili in the north Georgia mountains sounds good:

Both chapters appear to have some active RV builders and flyers. After the shock and awe of viewing a great shining fleet of RVs our brothers would be respected, even revered among their people.

See you in Tennessee.

I'll visit Shelbyville for breakfast and then on to Morristown.
I'm looking forward to a nice day for getting around.
