Booked... On the first floor in a room with two queen beds.
Hopefully the Queens don't come with it!

One week till the fun begins.
It is just a week away.
Phyllis and I should be there mid afternoon on Wednesday.
There are 20 rooms booked and I know of several rvs staying in the parking lot.
Looks like on Wednesday evening we will ride to Pigeon Forge to the steak house for dinner.
There will be group rides both Thursday and Friday to the Tail of the dragon.
Looking forward to seeing everybody.
Billy

I'd sure like to make it down. I already have a trip planned for May 15-17 (BMW Spring Fling). I may try to make it down for the 14th and visit for one day before headed to Natural Bridge. You guys wouldn't mind me showing up minus six cylinders would you? Lots of stars will need to align for it to happen but it's a slight possibility ...

PS Moose - When are you arriving? Do you have extra space or did you find a queen? I'm probably 30/70% now ...

IF things go well I will leave Wednesday Morning and should get there 10 hours later. The Job that was supposed to Start up the last week of May is getting power Monday Morning. I will see how urgent the start up is to them. If they want to run next week I am screwed but if not I can go. Will know Monday Night for sure.

So far still flying solo so if you want to play Queen for a night ...

I guess I stepped into that ... Thanks Moose, I'll keep you posted.

If the new job insists on install earlier then planned tell them you are taking a medical leave of absence ... the voices you hear in your head need to be quieted! They'll understand!!

Well it looks like I won't be making it down, really sucks being so damn close! The Dr's started me on new meds and I need to stay close to home to be sure no strange reactions ...

You guys ride safe and ride fast, take some pictures for us poor souls that can't be along for the ride.
