START 2017 - Maggie Valley, NC


Kinsley

Recommended Posts

I thought we were going to make it to START 2017, but it looks like we'll be closing on a house in the Dahlonega area that weekend. After living in Atlanta since 1985, with a weekend cabin outside Dahlonega since 2003, we have finally decided to cut our ties to Atlanta.

 

The new place is a quarter mile from a winery, and 3 miles from a network of Forest Service fire roads.

 

Sounds like a great move on your part to relocate and a good location for a BMWST event with camping in your back yard. :grin:

I was thinking along the same lines. Seldon, it'd be great if you could cruise over, if even for a brief visit and allow us to help you celebrate the occasion!

BACK OFF, I have already called dibs on seldon's spare room, back yard and any other spot capable of holding my gear. I have a permanent reservation :-)

Just a second youngster, I may ask for the seniors right to first refusal. :dopeslap:

Good on you! It is about time you committed!

I maybe dragging a friend (Walter)from Chattanooga along with me. He has a 2004 GSA with the Touratech supertank on it, 10.1 gals. So if you run out of gas it will be good to have Walter in the group!!

It's official, I'm out. I'll be moving up to the frozen tundra on MA and won't have the time to get make it.

 

You kids have fun, and I'll see you at the UN!!

Chris - sorry to hear this. I hope something changes and you can join us! :lurk:

 

 

I give up. I will have to see y'all at the UNRally.

 

Appreciate all the effort you were putting in to make Maggie work. Seems like the soon to be Bride and Groom are being awfully inconsiderate - they just move the whole shebang to Maggie! I mean, it's not like it's all about them! :wave:

 

 

Arrive friday afternoon and leave sunday morning. See you then. Marty

 

Thanks for confirming Marty(!) - Looking forward to seeing you!

Walter and his Uber Tanker® have been added. The Valdez® has some competition this year!

Sorry you can't make it Matt - look forward to hearing about the Frozen Tundra at the UN.

Just a heads up, if you need to reach the Creekside Lodge, use the 800# (800-621-1260) rather than the direct line. Direct line doesn't have voicemail, and the message on the 800# says they are closed for vacation till 4/20, but they will be checking VM. Must be some vacation!

 

I just called to make sure I had in fact made a reservation :dopeslap:

Tim,

You should be old enough to not know what that means. :wave:

 

So, last week, my wife asked the electrician working on our house if he was going to "make that line a 420" pointing to the range outlet.

 

He burst out laughing and replied "I'd better not, or else this whole place will go... Up In Smoke!"

 

Good one.

And

:grin: What's that line from "Mr. Mom"?

My thoughts exactly!

 

Or in this case 420/421? :old:

 

Classic!

Duuude,

I'm so old I remember when it wasn't illegal.

:P

 

But, working with the students in the 2nd Chance setting the past decade or so...time for the Feds to get their act together and deal with the reality of decrim and legalization.

Is that 4/20, or 4:20? Hmmmmmm...

:wave:

Maybe they are expecting people to bring, oh never mind.

:P

 

I am so old I have no idea want the last few posts in this thread are talking about! :dopeslap:

Move afoot in Il to do just that.

Ladies and Gentleman - Boys and Girls - 2017 START Maggie Valley Attendees!

 

Please plan to join us on FRIDAY, April 28 at 6:30 for dinner AND awards ceremony at Snappy's Pizza and Italian. We have our own private dinning room that can accommodate our entire group. Snappy's is located just a block away from our Host Lodge, and Snappy's has a full menu and a variety of beverages, including beer and wine.

 

We've added the dinner announcement to the front page announcement, along with a suggestion to track your mileage to Maggie Valley. Stay tuned for Details :cuz::cuz: :wave:

By the way, that walk to Snappy's is down hill both ways...'cause I know some of you will ask. :Yes:

 

I know a shortcut...

You all are too kind. Ken and I would like you to track your MILEAGE! I didn't think the auto-typo correction looked correct, so I quickly googled -millage and glanced at a heading about figuring millage taxation - and went huh!? I'm used to being wrong, so I moved on and posted. :dopeslap:

 

But I couldn't get it out of my head. So I just spelled it correctly in the Google - does anyone still have a dictionary - and of course, two words, 2 spellings and two kinda similar meanings.

 

I've said it before - you just can't find good help anymore.

I doubt you'll be there before Bernie wakes up....actually, he may be gone when you get there :revit:

Thanks guys, but I have to start early, so I don't get past by everyone. LOL

:wave:

Anyone want to meet up for lunch in GA on Wednesday 4-26? I am planning to stop in Comer again at Maggie's Cafe. :lurk:

Bernie,

I, for one, truly appreciate the lengths you go to in an effort to not hold up following riders...

:rofl:

What ever! I really enjoyed following you last year. Sure wish I was going to make it this year.

 

Hopefully I can ride with you at the UNRally.

Sure you can. I hope Whip will also make.

If you want to stop in Covington instead, I'll buy lunch.

Unfortunately, I have to cancel. I just left a cancellation message on the 1-800 number for the owners, who are on vacation. As soon as I get a confirmation call back, there'll be a Creekside room available.

 

Sorry to miss this one, but as I suspected last year when I stepped down from co-hosting, a new career path would get in the way. Hope to see many of you at the UN.

 

I also hope that I'll have more control over my time by the time FART comes 'round.

Craig,

:(

Hope it works out down the road. Please work on control of FART, before control of your time.

If however, you end up being able to control time, sign me up...

Will miss you.

Link to comment

Sorry, but I won't have control of my timing for FART either. I doubt I can plan for it much ahead of time. I'll just have to sneak in and if the timing works, then I'll come FART with you guys! (How nice of me, right?)

 

All that said and behind me now, are you and Beth going to come UN this summer, Tim?

Link to comment

Craig,

It is right next to a scheduled visit to a specialist at Shands Hospital in Gainesville, now if he has a magic wand...

:lurk:

Link to comment

Craig,

You'll definitely be missed at START...and possibly me too! Work seems inevitable, but I'm still hanging onto a thread. I'm planning on the UN, though.

Cheers to all!

Keith
