My Dad's gone but I haven't personally been. He said it was worth the trip. Maybe if we can get enough people from this site to go together it would be alot of fun!!!

I live an hour away. Have been there twice. Its a good time. Love the smell in the air there.

 Jason says:

^^LUCKY!

I really would like to go. Hopefully I can make it within the next year or so.

 Jack Man says:

Yup been there done that and bought the T Shirt.

It was great.

 oldno7 says:

How did you like it Jack Man? Any pictures?

 Chris says:

So here's a question... I'm in CA and TN isn't exactly close... is it worth the trip to go out there sometime next year? Is there much to do?

How many days should I spend there?

What is the best time of the year to go?

What is the best hotel to stay there?

Is there anything else to do there besides going to the Distillery?

 Jack Man says:

No.

Its pretty much the distillery and thats it.

I was doing a film in Nashville and Id say its about an hour and 15 mins out of Nashville. There isnt a damn thing near it. Lynchburg is in the middle of nowhere.

So Nashville would be the place to visit. Chattanooga is a little closer to Lynchburg but I just drove through there about 9 days ago and there is nothing there at all.

The only other suggestion I would have is to go to the Supernationals in Knoxville and see the show and visit our members there who are real friendly. I had a nice time when I was there a few years ago and was there a couple of weeks ago getting a new exhaust system for Big Bird.

I like Knoxville. Again not a lot to do there.

Knoxville to Lynchburg is about 3 hours 15 mins drive.

Its really not something I would go all the way there for. Its not worth it. But if you can link it to the car show or some time spent in Nashville and say the Grand Ole Opry it might be worth it.

Old no7 Sorry I didnt take any pictures. It wasnt all that to take pictures of.

 Chris says:

hmmm now you've got me thinking that I should use the opportunity to cover an event out there for Truckblog as a good excuse to go

 Jack Man says:

Yup that would surely work. Its a great show and you will see the most beautiful F100s in the world there and plenty of them.

Id love to go to that show again. I had the best time and all the club members were so nice.

 Jason says:

Is there admission to get in?

 Starfleet007 says:

The tours are totally free. If we are talking the JD tour.

 Jacques says:

I would love to go there for my birthday. Maybe we should have a "OldNum7.com" get together or something there.

 JD7 says:

That sounds like an awesome idea...maybe we can get a group price for rooms and such.

its been a dream of mine to visit lynchberg but i can't afford it
