Thanks for the custom graphic, EJ!

Last year I hosted a Ricochet Meetup in my new hometown of Cookeville, TN. I was only planning for a one-night stand, but several people said they were coming from several hundred miles away, so we made it a whole-weekend affair. I'm not expecting people coming from that far this time, so I am just planning a Friday night meetup on June 14th, which is National Bourbon Day. If this doesn't bring @drbastiat back to Tennessee, I don't know what will.

Details edited on 06/09/24. Everyone really enjoyed the night we went to Crawdaddy's West Side Grill, and they do have a pretty good selection of bourbons, so that seems like a natural choice for location. We'll meet there at 6:30 pm CT.

    A note on getting to Cookeville:

    Coming from the north is rough - lots of hills and valleys, definitely not to be done at night. Next time I come down, I might come early, head to Memphis, see Graceland, then take the interstate across. Although taking the main route through Kentucky gets off right by Mammoth Cave, so it could be a nice place to stop .

    The area is gorgeous, but I will not be down this year.

    Yeah, the most direct route coming from your part of the country gives you some awesome, winding country roads through hilly country. A lot of fun in a sports car during the daylight. But if that's not your bag, head for Nashville, then take Interstate 40 to Cookeville.
