I thought about making " The Meet In The Middle Ride " a memorial to T-Bird however I don't remember him ever coming to this ride in Sparta ,NC . He made every " Fall Color Ride " in Robbinsville NC and even came in four wheels when he could no longer ride. From this day on " The Fall Color Ride " will be " T-Bird Memorial Fall Color Ride " . I'm not promoting this ride it sells out ground zero year after year . If you got a room you're one of the cool kids  . Going to miss my friend he was was one of the best if you ever met him then you know if not you missed out. Picture of T-Bird plowing through the haunted tunnel near Kingsport , TN .  |

Too cool joe I remember one year Shelia and myself picked T-Bird up and he rode with us all 3 of us was all having trouble getting around but we had a blast We stopped at a restaurant on the way up and it seemed like it took us longer to get out of the truck and back in the truck than it did to eat we laughed about that for miles Like I said He will be missed but never Forgotten

The new owner ( he's really not the owner more like a rent to own deal ) is a waterhead from Carifornia I dont trust him since last year when he looked me in the eye and shook my hand and said he would buy us firewood and did not .Miss Reba always made sure we had firewood before our group arrived . LuLu got on the phone and found a local for a rick of wood and we burned every damn stick of it before leaving. |

Joe, please confirm the dates - I think it is October 16 - 18 (3rd week). Looking forward for sure. What exactly is a rick?  |

Generally speaking if the logs are cut 16 inches long and are stacked 4 feet high by 8 feet long, a rick will be 1/3 of a cord. If these same logs were cut 24 inches long, the rick would equal 1/2 cord. So the length of the logs directly impact the amount of wood you get.
