still hoping to make this but looking to get a motel close by. looks like it's going to be quite a gathering. any caravans coming this way?

 

Jamin and Bryan will be coming up from Charleston and Columbia area, respectfully, this evening. i think they will be in asheville about 10 - 11 pm (depending on if they side track through bevard to drive 276 and 151 on their way in)

 

Mike just check out the Atlanta caravan and join up with us in Brevard. You won't have to leave your area until 10am.

 

Are they rolling in their rotaries or riding Subys this time?

 

Are boingers allowed? Hope so, I'm bringing Flipper. He's a 12A at heart.

 

yes ray, boingers are allowed... i don't do a 12A count at this, sorry =P

and Tim, Bryan is here, in his rotary... Jamin will be showing up tomorrow, i dont know what he will be driving...

 

i wish everyone a good and safe trip, wish i could make it, but as of right now i'm getting ready for work .....either way redline a couple of times for me lol

 

We won't be there this year, but thanks to Tray, my engine had great rotors for the build. The engine went in today. Hopefully, I'll be able to start it in the next day or two.

You guys all have fun and be safe!

 

meh...**** happens. u guys be safe.

 

great weekend... to those who couldn't make it, life happens... show up next time...

great pix ray. good to see all the 1st gens that showed up.

 

Great weekend!
Is there another one next weekend? HA HA HA
Long drive in the rain over half the way home but everything is in one piece.
looking for snow here on Tuesday

Another great event cudos to the host

 

Made it home safe as well didnt go through the gap as it was raining pretty hard.

Kentetsu was planning to camp out again tonight and there is 4 to 6 inches of snow predicted for Cherokee, we may have to send a rescue party for him in the morning!!!!!!!!

 

he has no contact with the outside world! so that could be interesting... but i have to, i'll jump in the 4wd and go get him!

 

Here's the Apple cake Jenny spent over six hours on, ( including two hours alone shelling pecans) only to leave it home on the counter! It sure made a good dinner when we got home.
We thoroughly enjoyed putting faces with names, and hanging with everybody.



Here's another pumpkin pic that some of you may also enjoy.



Nice pics Ray. Thanks for the brew Tim. The FB is tucked in the garage for the winter. It's snowing like crazy today.... Lots of work planned.

Anyone gets close to I-77 exit eight in va, we're nine miles north on the BRP in sight of mile marker 190, we'll put you up and feed you or even just meet and greet for a hot minute.

 

woke up this morning to cloudy skies and some decent wind... little rain fall, but no snow in asheville... so hopefully cherokee and mark have the same...

 

Great pics Ray, thanks.

Anyone hear from Mark? I hope he got out of the mountains before it got too bad.

 

Thanks Mike, yeah I'm worried about Mark too. Just his luck he hadn't installed his snow tires yet.

But if anybody can get down a mountain in a snow storm, Mark can. He's from Michigan after all.

 

Anyone else have pics to share? I did not take a single picture. What was I thinking???

 

lol, I tried to post something yesterday, but couldn't get the forum to come up for some reason.

Anyway, yes, I have survived. Got some snow Sunday night, some wind, a few rather large limbs came down near the tent, but they all missed me and my car. Oh, and I had to fight off a bear as well. Wouldn't have changed a thing!

When it came time to leave the campground Monday morning, I found all of the roads closed. The only place I could get to was back to Cherokee. It was back to raining by then, so the snow was gone anyway, but I guess it was still rough at higher altitudes.

Didn't get the chance to use my Michigan driving skills by sliding down a mountainside backwards while blindfolded. Maybe next year.

But I got back home Tuesday evening, and was right back at the grind Wednesday morning. Why must vacations be so short?

Had an awesome time meeting with those of you I was able to meet with. Unfortunately, my sleep schedule was messed up and turned me into a lightweight. I think I had two beers and then was looking for my tent. lol.

See you guys again after hibernation season ends.

 

Good to hear that you dodged the limbs, vanquished the bear, (gotta hear more about that one!!!) and made it home safe and sound. Im impressed that you did not whimp out and get a motel room!!

Was glad to see you made the trip

 

Glad you survived the night and made it home safely Mark. I want to hear more about the bear too.

 

Yeah, that bear must have been awesome. Sounds like all the excitement started after we left.

 

I think that because the campground was nearly empty, they were more comfortable coming in to forage.
