    Default 2018 Maggie Valley gathering???

    Just curious if there will be a gathering at Maggie Valley this year?

    Trying to plan vacation time for the year since I escaped yesterday's layoffs..

    EDIT:

    Registration Info and Links Below

    The rates for the Best Western in Maggie Valley are $76.46 per night. Our reserved nights are 9/03/18, 9/04/18, 9/05/18 and 9/06/18. This is a great rate considering it falls on Labor Day. We have 30 rooms reserved, you must tell the Best Western Staff that you are with the Trike Talk Group and you must be registered on this registration page in this thread to confirm, as I am told that this rate is just for our members.

    We will be calling to confirm with the Best Western staff that those who have called to register with them are on our member's approved list or your room reservation will be cancelled.

    Register and see who registered using the links below

    There was an earlier thread on that topic and it sort of died. Zook usually spearheads this, but I'm guessing he has a lot on his plate with a business to manage. I agree that there should be something early in the year so folks could manage their vacation time to attend, it's a great trike roundup with mountain roads to enjoy. It will probably take on some interest later in the year and be 'a happening'.

    I believe they are looking for someone to jump in a organize the event if people want it. Randy just doesn't have time for the big events and run his business and the web site.

    SO IF THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT WANTS TO ORGANIZE IT people are asking.

    Hey bro, I have the same question.

    Sara and I have always enjoyed our fellow trikers at Maggie and enjoyed blessing the trikes and the trikers, and I certainly would hate missing an opportunity to receive a catch-up on the past year of your life!

    I think we all need to hear Randy's personal take - albeit the facts - on what is or what is not planned for Maggie. I am sure he & Marge are up to their necks in work running their successful business; they've worked hard for it, and it looks like it has arrived.

    Be happy, healthy & blessed for 2018!

    Chaplain Dave & Sara

    OK happy riders, guess that settles it, all good things must come to an end. If I weren't 85 and long in the tooth, I might give it a shot, but it is what it is. If we had a triker in that part of our world with the ambition to get it done, that would be cool, but that is a very long shot. Happy trails to all.

    All I can say is this.We know the date and place.I'm not eligible for vacation till July and I don't know if I can lock dates before that.I figure I should get through probation before I rock that boat too hard.I will be there if it works out.

    Yes, or course, I recall now, knew it was in September, but still, I would be pleasantly surprised if it happened.

    Hey, maybe it will just evolve, folks will just show up, no problem with that plan. Love the periscope shot, underwater sailor?

    Hey Bill, it looks like that could happen. On the downside, should things go that way, there will be no special consideration for room cost or room location, and both are important. There was an issue last year with trikers all over the place, and it challenged our front porch visits and dismayed many trikers. Also, since the Labor Day week is a busy week at Maggie, there should be an allowance made for pre-event signups. Should trikers show up at the Best Western or Maggie with no pre-registration, Labor Day week motel rooms will be hard to find and the price of rooms will go up considerably from the price we are used too.

    I never thought about the underwater Navy in periscope terms, is that why our friend's eyes are so close together? It must be because he has had more periscope experience than the rest of us. LOL!

    Take care, bro,

    Chaplain Dave

    I absolute agree with all your comments, but seems it's better happening by chance than not happening at all which seems to be situation, or not. On reflection, I'm just not sure it would be worth tripping to Maggie not knowing what's gonna happen, sure gotta have reservations....... but who knows maybe something will evolve with some semblance of organization.

    Funny about the eyes, I always wanted to be a sub sailor, but alas, they stuck me on a destroyer, which in heavy weather, is almost a submarine.

    Funny about the eyes, I always wanted to be a sub sailor, but alas, they stuck me on a destroyer, which in heavy weather, is almost a submarine.

    As a Marine on a Med cruise with the 6th fleet back in the late 50's, we ran into an Atlantic winter storm that took the whole 5" bow gun and it's turret off an AKA, a destroyer escort had a wave go over it that took all the ships masts, radio & radar gear with it, and our LSD (not a drug, it was a Landing Ship Dock!) did a 38 degree roll, hesitated like it couldn't make up its mind which way to go, and finally came back to the upright vertical position. The ship's captain called general quarters and said the ship should have flipped and gone bottoms up at 35+ degrees, but we survived the tilt because we had a couple of LCM's and some tanks down in the well deck that gave us a lower center of gravity, and we had no trucks, equipment, etc. up on the superstructure over the well-deck.

    I enjoyed working with the Navy when I was aboard ship. I slept with the swabbies, had a wall locker (not a sea bag) and had a single or double bunk at most, whereas the other jar-heads down in bowels of the ship reeked of diesel fuel and were sleeping 5 bunks high. I always felt sorry for the guy down in the troop quarters who had to make a run to the john after taps...

    Ah yes, them were the days!

    Best regards,

    Chaplain Dave

    Hmmm, as a submariner I've been accused of many things but . . . . On the other hand I have had more time on the "scope" than most submariners. Ah, the memories.

    All you had to do was volunteer!

    One of my fond memories was conducting ASW (Anti-Submarine Warfare) exercises with 2 destroyers, both DASH (remote operated helicopter with dipping sonar) equipped. The entire exercise period was in heavy seas, so much so that the DDs lost one of their DASH units. Watching the DDs race around the ocean trying to find us was a real treat. First they'd bury the bow in a wave and then we'd watch as their screws came out of the water and churned air.

    When a boat (sub) is at 400', taking 5 deg. rolls, you know the guys on the surface are taking a beating!

    Back at the end of WW II, Newburgh, NY where I lived many of my early years, had a German submarine come up the Hudson River and be on on display at the waterfront as an award of war. I had the opportunity to go aboard, so I guess I have been aboard a German sub more than an American one! I think my memory of the event would have been greatly enhanced had they done a crash dive! But thankfully, the river is sorta shallow for that kind of thing along the shore line. Although the crew (USA sailors obviously!) took the sub out into the shipping lane and did submerge for show.

    In 1939 the Sargo-class submarine USS Squalus (SS-192) sank off Portsmouth, New Hampshire during a test dive. On May 23, the diesel-electric submarine went down resulting in the death of 26 sailors. Thirty-three survived. My neighborhood friend of the day had relatives in Hampton Beach, NH who witnessed the event, and when we went to Hampton Beach that summer, they pointed out where the sub had sank. https://www.navalhistory.org/2014/05...75-years-later

    Ah memories...
