A lot of water will go under the bridge between now and Labor Day but I plan on being there.

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. (Giggle)
When a boat (sub) is at 400', taking 5 deg. rolls, you know the guys on the surface are taking a beating!
Big salute from a heavy seas sailor. Not sure about the 'volunteer' thing back in the 'old' navy days, it was difficult to get off a tin can, 'cause nobody wanted that sea duty. I was good with it, and my only alternative choice would have been underwater. I knew where every thing was and all aboard on that ship by name. A cruiser, a carrier, I could get lost just crossing to go ashore on liberty. ASW, our big thing for that was hedgehogs, that goes way back. Man, we did a lot of those exercises. Well I must say, this thread has been high jacked by some old swabs. Zook is very tolerant, I know a forum that the mods would be all over you for that infraction, ask me how I know. Thanks Zook, apologies all around for those not interested in the read.
We just need a hotdog flipper. Lord willing and the creek don't rise, Jan and I intend on being there.
Okay ... now I really need to get my B*tt there ... I gotta learn how to be a hot dog flipper ... ... I have visions of like a pizza flipper or pancake flipper. I'll bet them little round buggers are tough to catch on a spatula. :AGGHH:
If going by past years, date for arrival Mon Sept 3, Tues registration and Rattler ride. Leave Fri Sept 7. Randy would have to arrange prices with the owner and do preregistration. The event pretty much runs it self. Destinations are decided by the attendees. We just need a couple ride leaders and a hotdog flipper. Lord willing and the creek don't rise, Jan and I intend on being there.
:clapping:Agreed!This is why I don't fret about this.I understand the need to put in for vacation time or make plans.Far as I know its always the week of Labor Day and that can be used to plan the days and the rest will work out.I think we seem to have the most fun just letting it run itself but thats just my opinion.This opinion written with a lighthearted chuckle.

No spatula needed.
Just lick the fingers so you don't burn them, grab the burger and flip.
Ok folks, I'm working on getting us the hotel. I have contacted Randy and he or I should be able to accomplish this soon.
I believe once we have the hotel with dates and prices are set, everything else will fall into place. We have great people and don't think we will have an issue with ride captains or other events such as meals as most do their own thing. Once we get the Hotel set up, we can establish the registration list. I can look into the possibilities of having a TT Maggie Valley T shirt made up if enough folks are interested. Looking forward to some great rides and spending time seeing old friends and making new ones.
Hey bro, THANK YOU! I'd be glad to help out and make sure your sub stays surfaced! We need your warm body, not a periscope! LOL! You impress me as the kind of guy you need to have in your sub when all hell breaks lose! I look forward to seeing you once again in person!
Best regards,

You're absolutely right, Dave but, you're confusing us. I would have liked to have DblTrbl as a shipmate but he chose a different service.
