2019 Enroute Reunion

435th OMS ENROUTE MAINTENANCE VETERANS REUNION
Gatlinburg, Tennessee 
When:  9-13 October, 2019

** ENROUTERS, FRIENDS & GUESTS **

Our 2019 Enroute Reunion will be one of the most remembered reunions we have ever held.
Mr. & Mrs. Floyd Johnson - (Reunion Hosts) have worked countless hours on this reunion.
One of the BIGGEST highlights of our reunion, will be the Private Tour of Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
This tour will be a chance of a lifetime for our members to go "Behind the Fence" and see the ever famous-
Manhattan Project and associated areas.

Folks, please do yourself a favor and  "Google / YouTube" Oak Ridge TN and The Manhattan Project prior your arrival for the tour, because it will give you a better understanding and remembrence in what you will see. If you were to go to Oak Ridge on your own, it literally takes 1 year to get on this tour.
We are being blessed and are being given a Private Tour, by Ray Smith. (You will become very familiar with him and his important role during this important time in our American history).

Gatlinburg, Tenneesee

Trolleys covering various routes around the area are available right across the street from the hotel.  This is the only location at which all the routes come together, so you have easy access to virtually any location.  The best deal is available at the hotel front desk.  Get an All-Day On & Off Trolley Pass for $2.  The pass is good on all routes except the Pink/Dollywood and the Tan/National Park routes.  Individual fares vary by route from 50 cents to $1 per trip, and exact change is required.  The Yellow Route costs $1 for all day (exact change).  www.gatlinburgtrolley.org

Just one of the many, many attractions to visit in the Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, right across the street from the hotel.  As with every place in Gatlinburg, ask about the military rate.   www.ripleyaquariums.com/gatlinburg/

Airport Transport -The nearest large airport is Knoxville’s McGee-Tyson Airport (TYS), approximately 40 miles from Gatlinburg.  Hosts have arranged cut-rate van transportation from the airport to the hotel.  $80 per trip, with up to 5 passengers and luggage.  Others can charge that much per passenger.  You MUST notify the host of your anticipated arrival flight #, arrival time and number of passengers so we can group you together for the ride and thus reduce individual costs. This offer is expired and no longer available.  However, Tom Kinkaid sent in additional info.  "Hello Floyd.  Please let everyone know that Uber and Lyft have service from Knoxville to all hotels. I have booked a trial fare from the airport to the reunion hotel and both have quoted a non-surge rate of $30 for the car, bag, and passengers. (identify how many people and number of bags when calling for a car)  Thought you would want to know. Thanks, Tom"
