We have set the rally fee at $370.00.  This will cover the tours and you will enjoy two full breakfasts and three complete dinners.

Most of our meals will be catered by the Jellystone Watts Bar RV Park and held in The Lodge.

All meals at the Jellystone will have utensils, coffee and water.

The closing dinner will be held at Calhoun’s, known for Tennessee BBQ.   Calhoun’s is located at the Loudon Lake Marina overlooking the water.

On getaway Friday, we’ll have donuts and fruit cups ready for a quick grab-and-go.

Tuesday night we present for your enjoyment, the Wild Bill and the Brusiers band from Nashville. They will bring that full-tilt, wild-eyed old school country/rockabilly vibe and showmanship that unfortunately has been missing in our lives.  Check them out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdHonr8pjDQ&list=RDjXUPGO8-YmM&index=2

Tours include the American Museum of Science and Energy (AMSE) and the K-25 History Center.   AMSE tells the story of the advances in science and engineering that have occurred in Oak Ridge since the first days of the Manhattan Project.  They are a national resource that is proud to be located in east Tennessee.

The K-25 History Center honors the amazing men and women who helped construct and operate the K-25 uranium enrichment complex, first as part of the Manhattan Project.

We’ll be visiting the The Globe/Temco Swift Museum at the McMinn County Airport in Athens, Tennessee.  This unique museum showcases a remarkable collection of Swift aircraft. You can check out their link here: The Globe/Temco Swift Museum.
