Today I left MM's around 9:15 and headed to the Blueridge campground while MM went to church.  My bike was in the trailer while MM was going to make the 6 hour ride on his bike....so I was going to the campground to unload my bike and meet him at the Dragon Lodge for dinner at 6 PM. While  on the way I found out I was not going to have enough time to do that - so I  went to the Dragon and got there about 3:30.  What could I do for 2-1/2 hours while I waited........Hmmmmm?  Well....I unloaded my bike and rode the Dragon for 2.5 hours.  Time goes by really quickly that way.  While I was loading back up 2 Goldwing's pulled in with trailers that were 57 Chevy's built to look like they were on car trailers.  They got a lot of attention....and a lot of snickering was going on.



MM and I got to the Blueridge about 9:30 and got unloaded....time for bed!

Dave, is it just you and Mike at the Blue Ridge ?

Yep, I had a car load of guns and ammo that I didn't want to leave out by the road to get stolen, so I drove on home.

Grass at the camp ground sure is lush and green, ain't it.

And since I was the official witness and you two were participants my remembrance IS what is official.

And I remember Dave being ahead and MM immediately hollering for a re-do so he could torture his poor 'ol Sporty a wee bit better on the next try.





...... and you two can report on the rematch any which way you want to -- if MM decides he really wants one that is.    

Drag racing is right hard on a Hurley you know, tires and valve train and crank splines and all.

I got cut short last year  with the migraines and missed this year entirely; first time in 10 years.
Do you think there will be enough interest to "Gather" next year ?
Sure hope so.

Any thoughts on a better time of year for the trip?  

We do the current time slot because of teacher Toymaker was just getting out of school then -- but Toymaker hasn't shown up for the last what, 5 years now?

Scoot and Shoot wasn't really all that successful as a widespread popular theme, since only MM and I are the real McCoy cast boolit shootin' gun nuts.

What would you want to go to do?

Toss out some ideas ....

Now that the kids have graduated, this week will be ok.
just didn't work out this year.

shoot and scoot is ok by me.

Sounds kinda neat... there is the western tenn. run with WD, so southwestern with SP?
You  have a few in guys in texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, and Nevada.... could work...
Of course you would know the best time of year... maybe a holiday weekend type thing in cooler weather...80-90 degrees
