Hi Bro, it is going to be hard to find a motel that is as clean and well maintained for the price as the Best Western, and to me, there is no place quite like Maggie, although perhaps we are running out of ride possibilities. I like the Fontana Inn (Fontana, NC) at the Fontana Dam and the start of the Dragon ride at Deals Gap, but at $133 +/- a night, it is a mite expensive. (However, Sevierville & Pigeon Forge activities are less than 70 miles away.)
I think we should poll the interest for another motel or another location while you have trikers available to cast their neigh or yeigh vote, and get some kind of immediate overall consensus as to what to do next. If you have the dinner we talked about, it might be a good topic to discuss over dinner. Either way, it would be nice to have plans in the works for the next gathering before the close of this gathering.
Sorry about the long distance advice, but it is what it is! I would rather be there on a trike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best regards,
Chaplain Dave
