RIDE UPDATE:
Yesterday, before our meeting, Sharina and I drove the highway from Elk Rock to Knoxville and back again before we met with the Asst. City Manager of Knoxville to discuss possible routes and possible gathering places for our trails end social.  The meeting went well and we think we have everything hammered out...BUT we need to wait for final approval from the city council on a few things before I can post any final details. We just want to wait until we have EVERYTHING put together and finalized so we don't have to change things yet again..

I can tell you this, though...Because we anticipate such a large group of supporters for Whit and her family (which is totally AWESOME), finding parking for all the rigs and a place to put all our horses is an issue.  Sharina and I have put together a  reverse route starting in Knoxville and ending at Elk Rock.  We feel that this would eliminate the need for all day parking of all our rigs, it would help ease the stress of the city of Knoxville and Elk Rock is already set up to accommodate large amounts of people and horses.  

We have asked the city to close off a street near a park for us to unload and use as a "staging area" for the beginning of our ride.  This is what we are waiting on approval for.  I should be getting a call back by Tuesday, then I will update yet again!  Thank you all for your patience!  This has been quite a learning experience for us!  More updates to come....stay tuned!
