There you go ladies and gentlemen. The rates are up and ready for you to call in. Mary told me that the weekend following our rally is a huge weekend for them so she suggests that everyone get their rooms reserved.

[oledawg]

WOW! Great Rate. http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif That ought to draw a Crowd! http://s2.images.proboards.com/cool.gif

[dkdixie]

Made my reservation yesterday.

Mary mentioned the weekend rates, starting Friday June 18th, will be 140.00 per night. :-/
So, if you are planning on staying beyond Thursday night.....you'll probably want to choose a motel in another location.

To those going out of Georgia, maybe we can hook up and ride to VA together.

[trosco]

After much sole searching and some discussion with the Reaper, I have a hotel room Mon - Thurs in Staunton also. Doug and I are going to share. But we both plan to hang some with the campers.

Sole Searching? Were you looking for your shoes? OH, you mean Soul searching.

LMAO http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[trosco]

Well, I was goning to camp, but then all this talk of semi clothed (barefoot) spiritual rituals (sole searching) made me feel unworthy and so I banished myself to a hotel...
But, I hoped that with time and 1 or 2 bottles of red; Mr Funi, the reaper and I could become honorary members of the TTCC (trailer toting camping cult)!
The initiation being eating copius amounts of smoores!!! Red, even cheap red is really good with chocolate!

[coacha]

I will have to bring this in front of the tribal council and let you know.

[Kawhead]

No, y'all gotta do him like you did me and FORCE him to camp and s'more. After a few choke holds and body slams, I finally got the message and ate until I could hardly breath! :)

[MikeInFla]

After a few choke holds and body slams

We should call it the Southeast Regional WWE Rally - 2010.

[trosco]

Better be carefull now!!! I am just some grey haired old guy but.....

I am traveling with http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif THE REAPER!!! http://s2.images.proboards.com/angry.gif:(" title=">:(" border="0"/> One of the most feared names in the WWE!!!

(or is it the undertaker that is feared? where are my grandkids when I need them?)

[coacha]

Whatcha gonna do brother when the Coach comes calling for YOU????

[Kawhead]

Oh you should have seen 'em twisting my arm to eat french toast, bacon and coffee on a cool South Dakota morning.

Damn, my mouth is salivating http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif..............I know what I'm having for breakfast in the morning. If I can wait that long

[dabull]

[tammyallan2000]

Next thing you know, we will have to haul dessert wine to serve with the s'mores. ::)

[dkdixie]

Talked with Mary at Days Inn this morning.
A grand total of 2 rooms have been booked so far for the June rally.

Seems extremely low to me so please respond if you have booked a room.

[MikeInFla]

Maybe everyone is camping? http://s2.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif

[trosco]

Dick, I have booked a room for Monday night through Thursday night. My note says in PM of 14th and out AM of 18th and have a reservation #? I called Days in on Whitehill Rd in Staunton VA 540-337-3031

[coacha]

Some may be waiting to book, I don't know Dick.

[dkdixie]

With myself, Cliff, Ross, oledawg and bigdave should be at least 5 rooms booked.

I need to talk with Mary again....

[Kawhead]

Hey KawHead, I am thinking of adding chocolate chip pancakes to our breakfast menu, what do you think? OMG!!!!!!!!My mouth waters to think about it! http://s2.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif I might have to go back to the tent and sleep that off. There's an old woman at a restaurant down the road from me that makes sausage mixed with scrambled eggs and cheese and a stack of pancakes to DIE FOR! I have to go back home and sleep that one off.

[Kawhead]

Some may be waiting to book, I don't know Dick.I hope they ain't more folks like me that put stuff off till the last second. ::) Or show up for a ride when it's convenient http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[Todd]

I am kinda waitin' myself :(

[mrfuni]

"I am kinda waitin' myself "

Looks like a game day decision for me. 1,000 miles each way... trailering may be an option...

[coacha]

Game day decision? For the man with all the maps?

[Kawhead]

"I am kinda waitin' myself "

Looks like a game day decision for me. 1,000 miles each way... trailering may be an option...You lucky dawg! http://s2.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif A thousand miles of fun each way. The best part of the Custer rally was the trip http://s2.images.proboards.com/cool.gif

[trosco]

Joe, trailer to Blairsville, that's 730 miles for you. The rest of the days to, from and at the rally will be less than 250! And the trip to and from the rally is going to be as good if not better than the rally.

Common man, join in! I'm bringing wine and Tami's bringing chocolate!

[oledawg]

"I am kinda waitin' myself "

Easy choice Joe! ;)
Trailer up, avoid boring ride on crowded highways, then have plenty of energy for the great scenery and mountain roads of NC,WV,Tn,Va. http://s2.images.proboards.com/cool.gif Then at weeks end Nice shower jump in the Air conditioned tow vehicle for a nice relaxing ride home. ;)

Less un-enjoyable mi. put on bike, more energy for rides at rally,
and relaxed trip home enjoying the stereo,cool drink and conversation with your best girl. http://s2.images.proboards.com/cool.gif Yep easy call. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[mrfuni]

Ole Dawg, Trosco, Kaw-Head, sounds like a plan. Appreciate the encouragement.

Trosco..Why Blairsville? I was thinking about heading up I-95 to I-77 and maybe loosing the trailer in say Roanoke? That's 925 trailer miles and 75 riding miles to Staunton.

Through Blairsville adds another 300 miles to the trip.

[trosco]

Joe: Dkdixe (Dick Campbell) lives in Blairsville. The plan is for us Floridians and the Georgians to rendevous at Dick's place late afternoon/early evening Saturday. Drink, eat and tell stories and sleep (Cabins for rent at the end of Dick's street) Then spend Sunday and Monday doing about 200-250 miles each day on the Blue Ridge Parkway and similar roads arriving in Staunton Monday evening. Then 3 days at the rally and leave Friday morning. Thats two more 200-250 mile days (perhaps on the WV roads this time?)and arrive back in Blairsville area Saturday evening. That leaves Sunday for the one long travel day home.
Right now Dick, Cliff and Richard up there are coming. I believe Ron, Mike and Jim (each with a wife and a camper) are coming. And Doug and I are coming with but we are going to motel it like Dick, Cliff and Richard. There's been some talk of some folks meeting us along the way also.

[MikeInFla]

Ron and I came up with a route that we plan to take with Jim & Leanne. Ron's going to post it soon so anyone who wants to join us can ride up to Dicks house with us.

Joe, take a look at it when he posts and see if you want to hang with us or shoot on up to VA.

[mrfuni]

Trosco now I get it... makes sense..

Mike, thanks, you mentioned Jim...Didn't he sell his Nomad? Is he riding the moped up? http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

JOE!!

There will be no smart comments from the peanut gallery. Leeanne and I will be riding our, uh, hmmm....NOWINGS!!!

lol

That's it, the NOWINGS. We are taking the camper and are looking forward to a really fun trip.

Jim

[coacha]

Joe, Jim and Leanne are going to Tupperware it up, riding in hermetically sealed and burped plastic machines.

Trailer your bike up to Dick's place and we will all ride the other legs up to the rally...most roads will be non-major roads and it won't be a hard ride. I'll even let you help route it...I know how much you like to do that.

I don't care who ya are, that there is funny. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[wompus]

I'm heading up on Wednesday morning...

[Kawhead]

You gonna be the 1st one there ain't cha? You campin' Wompus?

[bokobob]

I just made reservations at the Day's Inn for Wed and Thurs nights....I am riding up from teh Charlotte, NC area, leaving on Tuesday morning, and likely taking until sometime Wed to get there..
I am taking I 77 up to the NC/VA border area (around Fancy Gap, VA), and then onto the Blue Ridge Parkway for the rest of the way..Anyone going part or all of that route, if you want another rider in your group, let me know, please...

I waited this long because I was leery of riding in the rain...the ten day forecast has the weather clear on the days I plan to travel...If it does turn out to look like rain next week, I will just come in the car..too old and "frail" to rough it...

Can't wait to meet more folks..Only have met Ross (Trosco) adn Dixie Dick so far..
