I just hope that, wherever it is, the host city is not too big.  Something considerably less than 100K people would be nice.

P.S.  I will not be riding in any new states.  

Neither will I.   

[ridingron]

Vita and I generally make it there a couple times a year. Love riding the Hill Country when the weather isn't too hot.    

Would that be last week in December or first week in January?

Neither will I.   

Serk will possibly pass thru either 1 or 2 states not previously on his map.  It could be three if he takes an alternate route.

If Serk is going to pass through 1 or 2 new states doesn't that narrow the state down to Arkansas, Kentucky, Indiana, or Ohio?

It could be 10 or more, if he takes an alternate route.

Within the posted Serkle it could be no more than six even with a rambling route.

I accept the correction.  Rather than an I should have said the alternate direct route.

Incidentally I think Serk's map posted is outdated.

Sadly, it is indeed accurate and current...

OK but, are the brothels marked on that map?

[fudgie]

Hmm... looks like its getting closer to me. I'll guess Marysville or Zanesville OH area.

That would be cool.  I wasn't here in time to go to I, II, or III.

*Checking the logs of my satellite GPS uploads*

Double checks the triangulation of the angulation.

Hmmm.... Interesting... very interesting..... 

So what degree of angle northeast, approximately, will the Spawn and I be traveling out of Rowlett, TX to reach Ground Zero?

Of course, there are no roads straight from and to.  When I look at the route I see some almost due east and some mostly but not completely north.   

But then the contract isn't signed so that could change.

He actually didn't hack in this time.  He determined the site from posted pictures.

*Tonight the part of Willow will be played by Serk*

Please note, all I figured out was where certain staff members were during a certain time period, the contract has not yet been signed, so the actual location is not yet set.

You missed a shrinkage opportunity.  Not much shrinkage, but some.

Ok, recently we've been kind of alternating East and West (as you may have noticed).  Unfortunately, due to coronavirus restrictions, the East didn't really get a fair shot this year.  So, we've decided to look East of the Mississippi for XXI.  The site under consideration is, in fact, East of the Big Muddy.

You do know that the term "The Big Muddy" refers to the Missouri River or are you actually implying East of The Mississippi River?

Yeah, I've heard the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers both referred to as 'Big Muddy'. While I don't intend to do any research to verify, I also seem to recall reading where none other than Samuel Clemons also referred to the Mighty Mississippi thusly...

I'm glad this got verified, I was thinking it had something to do with my driveway.

Mississippi River was said to be "Too thick to drink and too thin to plow",

I've only known the Mississippi as the Big Muddy.  Perhaps East of Ol' Man River will clear up any confusion.

Edit: Actually, East of either would be accurate.

Well, it is not due east, so anything at or below that horizontal plane is out.

Well that makes everything clear as mud!

We've had some forward motion in our negotiations, so I guess I can drop another hint.

If Dave Ritsema decides to grace us with his presence , he will travel less than 600 miles.  

BTW, barring any unforeseen complications, the dates will be June 13-18, 2021.

Wow, the middle of summer?

[mbramley]

 Looking at the calendar I'm guessing you meant June?

[John Schmidt]

Hmmm....less than 600 miles from Southbend falls into the Finger Lakes region of N Yk, that would be a nice area for rides. Or northern Alabama falls within 600 miles. One can take a compass and make a sweep from Dave's home area, stay east of the Mississippi and get a lot of possibilities.

The Finger Lakes is beautiful country but was eliminated by the previous Serkle.  Combining the most recent Serkle with Connie's hint you get any place north of Birmingham, south of the Canadian border, and east of the Mississippi.  David is in South Bend, Indiana.

I'm too cheap or lazy to get the drawing software but ask the Serk to post an updated Serkle.

AND You made it during the week of my Birthday as well, how thoughtful of you!

Data crunching and shrinkage time:

I made a isochrone of 600 mile radius driving time (Roughly) form South Bend, IN, and it looks something like this:



Using that data, I did a VERY ROUGH hand drawn crude, I'm not an artist, shrinkage of the Serkle, basically anything under the red line is out of contention:
