Well looks like I'll try to make drift-in 2015 as the rooms are booked solid .

Get on your horse, there were 45 rooms initially, and the woman I spoke to said there were only a "few" left...like maybe 6 or 7!

Are you guys saying ALL the rooms are already booked up ?

What do you mean "if"? I'm coming to stay at your house Monday night, and dragging you to Maggie Valley on Tuesday morning!

Well, that's the plan, God willing....  as long as nothing bad comes up!

IF I can make it down, I would have to fly down and rent a bike, likely a Harley, and get a room somewhere else. I cancelled my room already so that's out.

Well, IF something changes I'm sure you could bunk with Ratman!!  I'd volunteer, but I snore pretty loud!

GPS is not to get you THERE but rather to get you home from THERE

Man, I'm awfully sorry to hear that!  For one thing, I was looking forward to meeting you.  Secondly, now Ratman will have to find somebody else to pick on, which could be me, if I make it there!   Hopefully, if possible, maybe it will still work out.  If it's not meant to be, hopefully next year.

Take care.

No Drift-in for me. Had to cancel my reservations in Maggie Valley. Maybe next year, I hope.  :'(

Sure hope I can make it!! I'm registered, room booked, all that, but not lookin' good for going. :(

Well, I sure hope you can make it, 49!!   Seems like you owe me a beer or something ....   ;D

I hope it works out for you though..

I can certainly understand that! It will be your second long day in a row, so the direct route will probably be best.

No Worries

Troll

I didn't look at the second day, yet, so maybe. I had planned to take it easy on the second leg and only do the 475...I am getting older, you know...

I sure appreciate all the time you're putting in the route/schedule.  Saves me the trouble....   I was hoping to minimize the interstates and make use of as many lesser roads as possible, but I realize that's really hard to do that when going that far.

What are the chances of veering the route slightly to the East to meet up  with the NY contingent?   

No Worries

Troll

I'm still refining the route. I have to balance time constraints against traffic patterns...I still have a few months to get it where I want it...

Guess I'll have to be....   ;D  If it gets too rough, leave me by the side of the road and I'll catch up later...

I would rather go through Des Moines on my way than $hitc@go. Are you up for a long day on Tuesday? About 475 from your house...

greenbarn

What?  I39 all that way??  You act like you don't want to go through CHICAGO!...

Sounds like a plan.   Sounds like I need to get Tuesday off from the boss....

I'd be quite honored if you would do that, Troll.  I believe Ratman is already possibly swinging by here as well, as I'm almost directly on his way down.  What day to you plan to make the trip?

That would be really cool is we could also meet up someplace on the way with the folks from over East yonder, and all ride down together.

I'm thinking Monday afternoon, so we could finish the (one day) ride to Maggie Valley from your place. I don't want to miss the "opening ceremonies" Here's a copy of the plan, as it is right now....
