I signed myself up for the first time. In the past every time I plan something like this life has a way of putting a crisis in the middle of it, so for a while I stopped trying to plan events like this.
It looks like a full week commitment for me including travel to NC. I just keep thinking that this is really worth doing and that nothing is going to stop me! I love the pics of the previous SITM's and want to see the NC landscape.
I am going to think positively, and for all of you in the same boat as me, consider making plans for this event- do something for yourself for a change! I am keeping mine a secret so nobody can sabotage it, intentionally or unintentionally!
I saw "wild hogs" and it was my inspiration for signing up! I almost forgot how much fun it was to take a road trip!
If anybody has an extra bed or plans on splitting a room, or is coming from the Northern Vermont or upstate New York area, let me know! A posse would be fun!

Hey Warren,
I'll be cutting across to PA and heading down, maybe meeting up with the MD/VA/DC group Friday morning if I can set it up. How 'bout I meet you on the way by?

John and Terra -Pistris,
Having been down in the area for several years, prior to owning Rosy, for a Vintage Motorcycle annual gathering, I happen to know of a fairly large RV park/campground in Pineola, a NICE short drive to Banner Elk, and I know of a short-cut, via the BRP, to Grandfather Mountain, from the park. The park has a brick bathroom/showers/laundromat, heated when it's cold or chilly, and there is a stream that goes right by the grounds.
Pay attention to this; NO GROUND LEVEL CAMPFIRES ALLOWED!!!!!!!! The guy can be a real A*****E about this, we've had several experiences with him about this, but the lady is kind and warmhearted. Gated grounds, fairly neatly kept. Kind of a windy dirt single lane in though....
As I am not an RV'er, I have no clue as to what amenities are there, but there are/were many 'permanently' installed RV's/motorhomes, with LOTS of left over spaces.....
Contact me off-line for more info...

Click on this link, then, in the left menu, under links,
click on SHARKS IN THE MOUNTAINS
There is a registration form at the bottom of one of the fields, as well:

No excuses now!

Just signed up and made my reservations. Also just bought my 86.5 as some of you know already. This gives me a deadline to have the mechanicals mostly done, but I'll probably still be the ugly duckling in the mountains (shark bait??) - but who cares? Really looking forward to this!
