Author Message   Ulywife Posted on Wednesday, June 07, 2006 - 05:22 pm:        JimN - the adventure is Western NC. I think this leaves us pretty open to the area, as long as its not flat or straight. Just like when we were at Suches, Deals Gaps is just a drive down the road. May take you 1-1 1/2 hours to get there, but I don't think anyone will complain. Boone is appealing because there are things to do when Rebecca and I don't want to ride, but have to option to do an afternoon ride with you guys. Maybe this will be appealing to other wives who decide to come along. I'm open, so lets take a vote: Boone area Asheville area Deals Gap area other suggestions??? Kristi   Aydenxb9 Posted on Wednesday, June 07, 2006 - 07:26 pm:        Boone   Ram Posted on Wednesday, June 07, 2006 - 09:58 pm:        I'd prefer Boone just because I don't get there as often as I do Asheville. 'Course . . . I won't be riding the twisties, so as long as there's somewhere I can hang out, drink, and sing 70's songs, it's aaaaaall good.   Ulywife Posted on Thursday, June 08, 2006 - 10:40 am:        'Course . . . I won't be riding the twisties, so as long as there's somewhere I can hang out, drink, and sing 70's songs, it's aaaaaall good. I believe that's where I come in!   Bigdaddy Posted on Thursday, June 08, 2006 - 11:50 am:        Boone, Blowing Rock, easy BRP access, excellent local roads abound -- I know I'm just a western fringe wannabe member G2   Ulywife Posted on Friday, June 09, 2006 - 09:10 am:        I know I'm just a western fringe wannabe member WRONG - this is Carolina Corner Carvers! So, any of your kids joining us for this adventure? Your wife coming along?   Bigdaddy Posted on Friday, June 09, 2006 - 09:27 am:        Hey Kristi, I'm sure I'll have company -- don't know who at this time. I need to look at my wife's schedule and see if she can attend. She's based out of the house and works every other week,,,hospice nurse,,so it's pretty tough to project out that far. My little buddy Boog (son) will be along for the ride. Jen just started her new profession as a deputy sheriff in Lincolnton County (we can really flog them in the western part of the county now :-) ) and she's on some kind of training schedule to December. G2   Ulywife Posted on Friday, June 09, 2006 - 09:41 am:        Sounds good -- I'm hoping everyone else will "vote" soon and I'll start trying to find a cabin in that area. So far it's looking like the Boone area. How far are you from Boone?   Bigdaddy Posted on Friday, June 09, 2006 - 10:39 am:        We're 60 miles south, 321 the whole way, of Blowing Rock.   Jlnance Posted on Friday, June 09, 2006 - 01:13 pm:        Jen just started her new profession as a deputy sheriff in Lincolnton County (we can really flog them in the western part of the county now :-) ) Do you know how much fun she would have arresting you?   Bigdaddy Posted on Friday, June 09, 2006 - 01:41 pm:        Uh, well, hadn't really thought about it. I'm using her $30K sheepskin to cover the 'bang my freaking head up against the wall' indentations/holes. (just kidding,,I'm very proud of her,,,just not my first pick,,,key word being "my.") G2   U4euh Posted on Friday, June 09, 2006 - 06:37 pm:        Boone-lots to do after the ride!   Jlnance Posted on Friday, June 09, 2006 - 07:41 pm:        We'll have to keep U4 away from the ASU girls.   Jlnance Posted on Friday, June 09, 2006 - 07:44 pm:        Greg - Congrats on getting one out of school!   Xb9ser Posted on Friday, June 09, 2006 - 08:15 pm:        I'm game for were ever the group decides   Jlnance Posted on Friday, June 09, 2006 - 08:26 pm:        Too bad these are too small to actually read. But they are just for ideas anyway. I wouldn't recomend following either of them literally. The northern loop was my favorite. The most scenic part is on Hwy 58, which runs through Grayson Highlands St Park in VA: This eventually takes you to Damascus and Shady Valley. Another case of "picture is worth a thousand words." I sat on a motorcycle for the first time in July of 2004. In September I was in Boone doing "Running The Ridge." I can't believe I rode those roads with 8 weeks of riding experience. But I had a great time. Hey, look what I found while looking for picts:   Twig Posted on Friday, June 09, 2006 - 09:09 pm:        Boone is fine with me also. My oldest son is a 2004 ASU grad. Kristi...count me in for solo. Mike W...wanna jump on the band wagon?   M2nc Posted on Friday, June 09, 2006 - 11:32 pm:        Mike W...wanna jump on the band wagon? I sure hope so! We will have to get some C3 friends stickers just for him.   Ulywife Posted on Saturday, June 10, 2006 - 05:20 pm:        So it's looking like Boone for October 6-8. The revised list is: Jlnance - 2 M2nc - 2 Aydenxb9 - 2 Twig - 1 Cyclone - 1 Bigdaddy - 1 + 1 big kid Xb9ser - 1 U4euh - 1 I'll start looking for a cabin that will sleep 12 and preferably have a hot tub!! Kristi   Jlnance Posted on Saturday, June 10, 2006 - 11:13 pm:        preferably have a hot tub!! 3 girls, 9 guys, 1 hot tub. Hmmm   Bigdaddy Posted on Sunday, June 11, 2006 - 06:11 pm:        Jim, That'll take some fuzzy logic. G2   Ulywife Posted on Sunday, June 11, 2006 - 09:33 pm:        Well, there will be frozen fuzzy navels in the blender..................the *&^$ with logic.   U4euh Posted on Monday, June 12, 2006 - 07:22 pm:        3 girls, 9 guys, 1 hot tub. Hmmm OK that was the deal breaker, I'm out! Then I remebere'd what Jim said We'll have to keep U4 away from the ASU girls. So I'm back in. Those roads look sweet Jim. Have to do some research on some good routes to take. Sounds like Boone is going to be fun. Has anyone thought about posting over in the 3% section to see if anyone wants to join us? Just a thought. ps never mind, I done it already. (Message edited by u4euh on June 12, 2006)   M2nc Posted on Monday, June 12, 2006 - 07:42 pm:        U4euh - Yes I thought about it and am glad you did. We may want to put it out for all Badweb. Let see if we can redo a Running of the Ridge.   Jlnance Posted on Monday, June 12, 2006 - 08:06 pm:        Post it AFTER we get our cabin reserved.   Rubberdown Posted on Tuesday, June 13, 2006 - 07:43 am:        October seems a long ways away and I don't know what else is going on....BUT, count me in! Sounds like a good time. I'll be on the porch.   Ulywife Posted on Tuesday, June 13, 2006 - 02:40 pm:        http://www.witsendrentals.com/pages/property.php?id=18 Look familiar to those who went to Suches?? The basement is finished in this cabin with a sleeper sofa and another bedroom. This cabin unfortunately does not have a hot tub, but the owners plan to put one in when they recover financially from the past hurricanes (they live in FL). The cabin is 4 bedrooms/3 bathrooms. We will still need to bring 2-3 air mattresses or sleeping bags. The beds are as follows: 3 Queens, 2 Twins, 1 Full Sleeper sofa and 1 Queen Sleeper sofa. I have to put 1/2 down at reservation and the balance probably 2 weeks before checking in. The total for the 2 nights stay is $548.05. This is who I have planning to stay at the cabin: Jlnance - 2 M2nc - 2 Aydenxb9 - 2 Twig - 1 Cyclone - 1 Bigdaddy - 1 + 1 big kid Xb9ser - 1 U4euh - 1 Rubberdown - 1 I'd like to make this reservation ASAP. So I'm asking for a final commitment and then I'll post our address and $$ per person for the weekend. Thanks, Kristi (AKA Cruise Director/BIC)   Rubberdown Posted on Tuesday, June 13, 2006 - 02:45 pm:        Thanks Kristi   Ulywife Posted on Tuesday, June 13, 2006 - 02:48 pm:        OK - Mike the porch is yours! Kristi   Ram Posted on Tuesday, June 13, 2006 - 05:59 pm:        Kristi - you da bomb. Thanks for doing all the legwork!
