Walkin' In Memphis : Fall Meet 2013

[Ghost Ryder]

RedRyder:

I’ve tried to get an agenda going but it seems like people just want to wing it lol. We’ll see how that goes. I think it would be better if we had a few things planned ahead of time, then other times maybe we do whatever. Otherwise we might all get there and meet, then stand around for hours trying to decide and agree on what we all want to do and when.

So true-

Agree, there needs to be a plan of some of the things happening on the Saturday, at the very least, since that is the full day we are there. I'm thinking Friday might be a good time to cruise downtown Memphis a bit, and of course, BBQ.

+1 for cruising

What part of I-65 is being worked on?

Originally I was thinking I-71 S to I-264 S (or East at that point) around down to I-65 S, then meeting the L-ville caravan somewhere along I-65 outside (south of) I-264. That would be the most efficient. But then if that river park is the best meeting place, I guess we’d be taking I-71 to I-64 W, then after we meet we’d all jump on I-65...

I-65 south I believe, right after the Kennedy Bridge ends coming from Indiana to Louisville. I believe that you can just stay in the right lane and take the exit to i64, and then take the exit right after that to the Waterfront Park. I'll try it tomorrow and let you know how it goes, and if it is possible. Chris and Derek, how low are you all? That may play a part in the construction, and I'd hate to see your cars scraping just to go a shorter route when it could be avoided.

I am at 1 finger+ right now, so I SHOULD be fine.

0. That’s why I’m taking 71 instead of 75 through Cinci, 75 is a dump inside the city. So yeah…would like to avoid any really bad areas.

Are you saying that anywhere on 65 that is south of 64 is okay? I don't know that area well but I assume this bridge you're talking about is north of 64? How far south does the construction extend?

Would it be easier to meet you and Daniel off 65 south of 264 (outside of 264 at southern end), meaning we'd take 71 to 264 to 65...

Yea, you should be fine. I'll try it out before though. I was about 1 finger in the front and tucking a bit of tire in the back on the TL's when they had 235's. The 215's go on tomorrow, so I don't think it'll do much to the height

 

[SykVSyx]

Thanks for checking that out, Evan.

Hopefully no issues for any of us. My front end is about the same height as yours, but since the back isn't put together yet, not sure how low it will sit.

Ok so 71 down leads into Louisville, and you should go right under the construction part and onto the exit for Waterfront Park. 65 down may work, but I don't think you could get off in Indiana before getting into Louisville first. 264 would work, but how would you get there without going through Louisville first also. Daniel, you live down there also, jump in and give us ideas.

Chris, if you are a 0 finger gap on 18's, you may be the same height, maybe a little higher or lower. I'm like right around 24".

I'm actually talking about avoiding downtown Louisville completely. Looking at Google maps, 71 intersects 264 at Northfield, we'd get off 71 at this point, take 264 south then west over to 65, then head south on 65. We would meet you and Daniel off 65 somewhere (between 264 and route 1747/Fern Valley Rd).

But if there are no good areas to meet in that general area, then we'll just stick with what we have.

That should work, I don't see a problem with that.
