Another great Maggie Valley Gathering 2016.
Kathleen and I had a great time in Maggie Valley meeting new friends and seeing old ones again. Weather was the best we have ever experienced. Hope all can come back next year as we feel that it offers the greatest riding area in the country. Jim McDonald (mcdonaldroadcapt)
A GREAT time at the Trike Talk Gathering in Maggie Valley!
Sara and I really enjoyed being in Maggie Valley with the Trike Talk folks this past week. We enjoyed the rides, enjoyed the other trikers who were always ready to talk trikes and pass the time of day, enjoyed the mountain scenery and enjoyed the laid back ambience of Maggie Valley! But most of all, I enjoyed the ready willingness of everyone to have their trikes and themselves blessed. Most of the trikes at Maggie Valley were blessed and everyone I talked to realized the importance of doing so! I have been known as the "Red Patch Marine" in the past, and it is an honor bestowed on a special group of Marines, but after Maggie Valley, my new user name will be "Chaplain Dave!" The Marine name indicates my past, but the Chaplain Dave or CD name is more in line with where my life is at and where I am headed today! (Randy & Marge, please note!) We tried to make reservations for next year but the motel isn't prepared to accept reservations a year ahead of time! There were many cancellations this year due to health issues, finances, employment, trike issues, weather issues and accidents. My prayer for next year will be that all the folks who missed this year's gathering will be with us next year for another GREAT weekend in Maggie Valley! My thoughts and prayers will be with you all! Dave aka Chaplain Dave or CD & Sara Sherwood
