Tennessee River Tour

[DaveStutler]

Anyone on the forum participating in the TRT July 30 - August 2nd?

Is this a scheduled trip? If so who is coordinating?

I am planning a trip from Knoxville to Chattanooga that weekend but it is just me and the family going.

Dave,
I'm assuming you are talking about the MM trip. I've done it a couple of times. Great trip. Whats up with the factory tour? Have they worked out a way for you all to see it?

 

[DaveStutler]

It is the Marinemax (MM) trip. Steve Harris is the captain - 770.616.3146.

Last I heard they were going to do the tour. I know Mack, from CSR, is going on this trip.

 

[Loneranger]

Does anyone know the itinerary of this trip? I will be making the opposite trip from July 30- Aug 4th and did not want to try and stay at a full marina or it might be fun to stay where you guys are staying. BTW has anyone stayed at Ross's Landing in Chattanooga with the boat? I know they have hookups and I have now found a phone number for it but there is little to nothing on the internet other than it exists. Thanks John

Give MM in Chattanooga a call they manage it.

 

[Loneranger]

Thanks Chuck1. We will keep an eye out for you guys. We may cross paths on Watts Barr or Chickamauga Saturday or Sunday. We are leaving Fort Loudon on Friday and will likely stay Friday night at Euchee. We will probably putz around on watts bar perhaps be at sand island on Saturday before going on down to Chattanooga. I will give Marine Max a call. I did not realize they managed Ross Landing. John
