The motel has been sold the new owner is American I've talked to the new hired help and gave my phone # for him to call me. Was told everything will be the same they will have firewood for us and things will remain the same ( we'll see ) . Miss Reba is in a nursing home and not doing well according to the lady at the motel. I'll take a ride up soon and spend the night and check it out. This could be the last " Fall Color Ride " in Robbinsville or maybe not.. If so I've found a nice place to take its place.

A change of venue might not be a bad thing if different roads are to be ridden. Sad about Miss Reba but she's a tough old bird and has been fighting hard for a long time  |

We haven't had much luck catchin' a spot at Miss Reba's over the years, only stayed there once. Been at the Econo Lodge down the street, but since it changed to Quality Inn the rate's $271 for the weekend. That's within $26 of a beautiful B&B jus' up the street so this year we've decided to splurge. Hope the color's this good...& hope to hang with some of our friends!
God Bless Miss Reba

I spoke to a white male over 50. He sounded. Ok. I thought you went by in person. Reb and I are taking off Saturday morning for " somewhere " if he's good with it I'll try swing by and scope the place out and hopefully talk with the new owner. |

3rd weekend in October I'll be up the road a bit at Moonshine Camp Ground with my other Honda group.  Maybe I'll come over and meet some new riders. Do you guys do group rides or ride smaller groups? Generally, how long are the rides? |

Generally, how long are the rides? Usually "several" (two or three) groups head off somewhere, leaving the gas station at McDonalds around 9:00, sometimes a little bit later. Some rides take longer than others, I've led a couple and I get lost a lot ... Groups generally start rolling back into the motel between about 3:00 and 6:00 or so... -Mike |

Ron look me up at Moonshine, I'll only be there Wednesday night and Thursday night. 2006 Black ST from Florida. Raymond |

Raymond-I thought the "Black Pearl's Captain" sounded familiar. I'm not making it this year. I injured my elbow. Enjoy your ride!
