Brg ftw
2nd in...
Looking forward to next year! :)
Best year yet.
I'll be posting the official BRG11 dates real soon :cool::cool:
Woot Christy's here.
I'm looking forward to another great time.
GZP will be proud to sponsor this event again :).
Unfortunately, I think I will miss the next one but had a blast this year.
Where would this meet be?
Where IS it going to be?
Personally, I liked the Fontana Resort better than the Pigeon Forge one the year before.
I'm looking forward to it.
As long as my car doesn't act up, I'm in! Too bad I can't tow the bike with the 3000GT. I would love to take them both on the tail of the dragon.
Awwww, why?? :(
We are talking to Fontana Village now about reserving a group of cabins further away from other cabins. 2010 had us right smack dab in the middle of many cabins, and our loud group annoyed some of the cabin dwellers, even though we never were reprimanded by the resort. Golfduke was actually told that we'd pretty much have to commit a felony to not be invited back :eek: The lodge will still be an option for those who want it, but the cabins were nice!
No official thread until I get the go ahead from Fontana Village, but it will be the same weekend next year that it always is, except longer (Thurs - Sun). MANY people talked about adding more days because of the long journey to get there & how much fun it was. It will also allow us to dedicate one day to river rafting (Fontana Village is *not* located that close to any tubing areas - all of those are located on the TN side) and add the Cherohala (as an option for those who want) in the driving schedule.
Touche' salesman!
I hope to see you & Chris in 11 :)
I like the idea of a block of cabins. also this needs to start a day or two earlier but I don't need a bunch of shit to do. it's good for people that want to stuff but I just love to hang out with the people and I missed out on the pool party so we had to break in later after hours.
Yeah - several people brought that up at the gathering this year & in post gathering threads. Starting Thursday and ending Sunday is what seems to be what everyone wants :)
This year will be 6 in a row for me :) The blue car will definitely be there this year after sitting out the last couple.
I think my and my gf will be attending, our first one ever! Living in WV is awesome, im in the middle of the BRG, ECG, and NG11
I don't even know how many this will be for me.. First one I went to we stayed at that hotel in Maryville, and had the run in with the bitchy female cop.. lol
I used to live in Maryville. Auto club used to route travelers around Maryville when possible because of it's bitchy cops. Maryville and Alcoa both were just a big speed trap.
i intend to make it in 2011. i hope my employer is cooperative.
p.s.
any word on sedd?
^ just tell em you got family business to take care of. lol.
best advice i've ever gotten is "do whatever your career will support". given my ~4 years of tenure, i'd say that i still don't have much of a leg to stand on. maybe if i was pushing 18 and didn't care about career progression any more--maybe it would work. for now, the best i can do is try and keep an open mind and a schedule PEX'd out for 10+ months.
Ive always wondered why this is called the blue ridge gathering when its not in the blue ridge mtns, its in the smokies lol
new title:
"3/S smoke gathering"
yeah....sounds more like a burnout contest than riding the dragon...
Im going to be going back to mn in may, but depending on the dates, i might leave my car down here and ride a greyhound bus back for brg and drive the car home to mn at that time. I guess it just depends on the dates and my schedule
I'm in for this!
It could be called "Smokey Mountain Gathering" that way when we use the acronym, everyone will think were talking about guns.
