I hope you won't mind, but I have extended an invite to the folks at Scotster to join the meet-up Saturday. Check out www.scotster.com. Cheers! David

Change of plans. I'll be on the mountain by 2:00 this afternoon!

What times will the Parade of Tartans be? I didn't see any time listed on the Grandfather Mtn website. I'll probably look to find the Wallace tent as soon as I get there. This will be my first time to Grandfather Mtn. I'll be driving in from Interstate 81/ Johnson City. Anyone have any tips for me?

The only thing I can tell you is that if you're within a 30 mile radius of Johnson City, make a trip to Scratch Pizza. You'll thank me later.

Parade of Tartans is part of opening ceremonies. I seem to remember it times past that's around 10, but please check when you get there.

That's going to be a twisty trip through the mountains. Will you be in Johnson City already, or are you coming up from FL just for the weekend? The reason I ask is that there are easier ways to get to G'pappy than to go through Johnson City.

I'm not in FL. I'm currently in Pigeon Forge TN, so I'll be coming from there.

Due to a serious family situation that has to be handled I am unable to be there this year. I do hope all who are there have a Grand time, and make the trip home safely.

My best regards go out to one and all.
