TN classic

[hedgeapple]

Pappy, I'd really like to come to the classic but as I mentioned before, I'm booked the weekend of May 1st.  But it seems there's quite a few folks coming early.  I might could be there Saturday April 24th or Sunday April 25th and hang out, lend a hand, socialize, swap yarns until maybe Wednesday.  Would that be ok?

[StevenT]

Hum.... I may have to invest in a different tent.  What is the temperature range that time of year?

[cracker]

About 50ish at night and 70ish in the daytime.

[Keenan]

Like Eddie said, Keenan, the weather is really predictable. It's gonna rain like a cow pissing on a flat rock. The whole time. We even had a tornado touched down nearby a couple years ago for variety. I have never regretted shelling out the money for a good tent. I've stayed dry every year so far.

  Thanks Steve that's a term I understand,,,,,,,,,,

its pretty dry in the hotel  too

Yep but you miss all the fun of runing for your car when your tent gets flooded and finding someone else already mistakenly crawled in your back seat.Ron

[Pappy]

Except for the year you set up while it was comming a downpour Steve.   Come on guy you are going to scare everyone off.  Sarah,yes it is, and pretty dry under your tent once you get there,just a few small leaks. Hedge come on down,I will be there from the Friday the week
before till the Monday after.Temps usually ant that bad,Long sleeves at night and early morning and
short sleeves during the day,except for Eddie,he is in shorts and flip flop's and Chris in a skirt.

Am I going to be able to keep my truck close to my tent? I know some places you have to park in a different area. Reason I am asking is you guys got me wondering about the rain. I am going to be in a tent and if I end up with a crick flowing through my tent, I have a hard shell on the back of my truck and would have no problem putting my air mattress in the back of the truck an sleeping in the  bed of the truck.

The cap on the back of your truck is to keep your wood dry, ya won't melt in the rain

As for temps first year I went it got cold enuf to freeze the dew so be prepared for any extreme Bring a rain coat

Trust Dana he is wise when it comes to lots of wood.

...that is true   

[Hillbilly]

The temperature range I've seen is pleasant-ranges from frost to fry eggs on a rock.

[Pappy]

You are right about Dana and the wood. You know if it wasn't for all the fun I don't
know why anyone would want to come to this,TN.Weather is strange sometimes.  One thing is once you get away from your camp we have plenty of roofs to get under and always have a
big fire.
