    Default GLFWDA Smoke Mountain Trek. When was it?

    I am trying to find out Info on this.
    Like when did it happen? If any one happens to know of any one that went on it?
    I know it took place sometime ago I just wonder when.
    My reason is that I just pick up a 68 Bronco that has a few window stickers in from this event and very old GLFWDA sticking in the rear window.

    Kind of hoping I could find out some history on this thing. Plan is to fix it up a bit and just have some fun. I will post some pics tomorrow of it.


    Thanks Chris

    Well, I was there in 1982 with Clyde Christmas as the GLFWDA Trailmaster.

    I recall because we also went to the World's Fair in Knoxville, TN on the trip down. Took the family and my youngest daughter, who is now 33, was selected to be on stage with one of the singer entertainers. She was like 6 then!

    Not sure how many years after, the event continued?
    I'll have to search my Boondocker archive for any trace of an answer.

    WELCOME aboard, looking forward to seeing the old Bronco back on the trails.
    My IH Scout (we drove down to the Smokies) is long gone ... but not forgotten!

    Wow, been a few years since I've heard of that run. Too bad it and the TQ Swamp Rat run are no longer, both were a load of fun.

    I attended a few, but only after it was no longer a GLFWDA event. It ended on a very sour note! Too bad, it was a great event at one time.

    Seems all to many events fall to the same fate.
    Some times you live and learn, sometimes you just live.
