II wasted so many hours because the scenery was so beautiful that I took an extra day and went to the GRAND OLD OPRY on the way back!! I didn't even know what it was!!! Apparently it's a gift shop. Actually, the Grand Old Opry is a concert hall. Decades of country's music biggest stars have preformed there. A country music singer considers it one of the highest honors to be asked to preform at the Opry. Unfortunately for you, the Opry is still undergoing repairs from the May flooding. The facility is hoping to be open before the end of the year.

He's the blue arrow. Because his name is first alphabetically it defaults to showing him as the arrow. If you click on someone else's name it shows Barra's number. I think I'm still under the George Washington Bridge

Anyone watching the GPS? I can't see the right side with swimmers' names and their numbers, so I don't know who's leading and where our forum member(s) is/are. Swimmer ages range from 39 to 59, unlike other events with younger ages?

Graceland was just a bit too far, although I did get (deliberately) lost in the backwaters of Tennessee on the way back (looking for Whiskey distilleries, though I hate whiskey).

Dave, southwest flies into Nashville or Birmingham(2 hour drives) Delta flies into Chattanooga(with a connection either into atlanta, memphis or cincinnati) PM if you want the phone number of the race director. I think there were a few spots left. thanks wook. i was just kidding. i'm feeling a bit travel weary these days.... maybe if chicken of the sea could commit to driving to graceland after the swim??????

Oh, I didn't know the course has also been reversed! Maybe all the changes will make setting a record more likely? Good luck! thanks

What time on that day should we expect to see the swimmers at Battery Park area? I got conflicting info, one says time limit is 9 hours, that means, if starting around 5am, they should be there around 2pm. But other sources say around 4pm. Which is correct? Hope you get good weather that day! The 2010 swim season comes to a close with the 17.5-mile Ederle Swim now scheduled for October 23, 2010.
