If possible Rod you should just get a room that way you can hang out with the group at the pre and post ride ( At least for saturday May 29 that way you don't ride home in the dark after a full day ride ) . Kickin' tires and tellin' lie's in the motel parking lot going out for supper etc. is where you get to know folk's. If its not possible for you to stay at Ground Zero I'll get back to you on down the line somewhere as the time of the ride gets closer . |

Thanks Joe. Until my 14 1/2 year old mutt goes on to the great dog park in the sky I'm not willing to leave him at home for more than a short day. His hips are wearing out so he needs lifting up at least 2 or 3 times a day when he can't quite do it himself. Needs help traversing the stairs as well. Luckily he has a bladder the size of a blue whale  so being left to snooze suits him just fine.  The Devils Triangle will thrill you as much if not more than Deals Gap  |

The Devils Triangle will thrill you as much if not more than Deals Gap We had a Husky for 14 years he got cancer and did'nt make it  .That ol'dog crosses my mind still yet to this day and just the mention of his name will send my daughter into tears.He died over 10 years ago and I'll never let another dog into our lives as I don't need the heartache. Next year we'll put the ball back in your court on Memorial Day weekend  . I'm lookin' forward to this ride and hoping for a good group of riders and I'm sure all will dig the planned route. |

Man, I know that Joe is going to put on one heckuva ride (as always). If you have never seen the "tree house", it is a MUST SEE! WInghot took us there on the way back from Tennessee one time and it blew me away. Like I said, it is a MUST SEE.  |

The tree house will mess your brain up man, but I love what is wrote in the field as you climb the tower yhou can see it well. Hers's the other part all will love. US Hwy 116 Devil's Triangle. It's pretty close to riding the Dragon, but if'n yah hear Banjo Music you better paddle faster.

That route sounds very similar to your "Stomping Grounds Ride" back in '05 or '06. A good ride indeed and one that brings back many fond memories. I met people on that ride that have become very good friends. Some will be friends for life. |

I met people on that ride that have become very good friends. Some will be friends for life. Changed somewhat from " The Stompin' Grounds Ride " with a few extra added down through the backroads of The Obed River Basin ...I'm hoping to see you on this ride as well Ronnie Are you feeling better now ?  |
