[clint44]

Kevin,I see that guy with the chariot trike was on the ride. Can you get a pic or two,with some info about it?
That would be cool.

Kevin will probably come back with some good information on this rider, but he's a member of CMA spreading the word. He is organizing a coast to coast run at some point. He does have a web site but I can't remember, so no help on that. Sure an interesting ride he has there.

Yesterday a bunch of us rode "The Rattler"....

I think there were around 25 of us. Here is some of the group in Hot Springs, making a U-Turn

It was a fun ride!

A look back.

Didn't think we could have had a better time than we had last year but we did.
Even with those folks in 116.
LET'S DO IT AGAIN!!!

Made it home

Arrived today about 12:30pm. Maggie Valley was excellent this year. All the rides I went on was good everybody seemed to enjoy them selves. I didn't think it could beat last year but it did. The only bad thing was Jr. & Darlene couldn't make it. Just imagine the how much more fun it would have been. :clapping:epper:

Great 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 personally 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 "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! (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 and weather issues. My prayer for next year will be that all the folks who missed this year 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

We got back home to Michigan at 11:30 PM saturday.
We had a great time, met a lot of new friends and got reacquainted with old ones. The two groups we led were very easy to hold together with out a lot of delays. Sorry I couldn't get a friday ride together. We spent thursday checking out the route but found roads closed or turning to gravel. The waterfalls were too far from the road and the last straw was there was no Ice Cream stop!

Three hours??? Hell, I did that before the sun came up and still had 15 hours to go.

 

[Motorcycle Mike]

Yup, 3 hours. And we made it all the way in one day too. :kpzxvq:
It was great meeting you. Looking forward to next time.

 

[Papa Zook]

Bad news, heard those people in 116 will be back again next year also. Probably right next door to YOU!!!:gah::gah::gah::gah::gah::gah::gah:

Yeah they said they'd be back for sure and requested an adjoining room with the big guy. :laugh: Parrrr-Taay! epper:

 

[Motorcycle Mike]

We did have a bit of a party every night. Fun was had by all who attended.

 

[keepinon]

We're still on the road. Left MV for Nashville & riding south on the Natchez Trace. The Trace is a pretty ride, but can't compare with the BRP. One of these days, I'm gonna ride the entire BRP.

We're back in Arkansas now, going to go ride in the Ozarks for a few days. We've done 2400 miles so far on this trip. I'm not quite broke yet....

Poor Puddin' says he's been handing out money left & right, what with the snakes (and snake bites) he's been carrying around in his pockets. Maybe could get him to float me a loan so I can keep riding?? LOL

Jr, if'n you read this, we'll stop by on the way home... maybe this weekend.

Thanks to all who contributed to the camaraderie at MV, especially M'Mike (and his better half) for the leads on the lesser known roads in the area. We had a BLAST!

 

[Motorcycle Mike]

I thought I was the better half. :Shrug:
Please don't tell Shirley I said that.
