Al, did you find out your shut down week for 4th July next year?
We need to know
the week the plants are shutting down so we can formally declare the next Dragon Run.
You are the only one I know of that is plant bound, so we will use you as the litmus strip for the manufacturing facilities.
Babyhog, if you are really coming next year we need to know soon so we can plan appropriately. The nature of the beast will be planned to be much more civilized during the span of time you or any other gentle folk will be there, and the other civilized ones will likely plan to be there timewise to ride along with you.I will get detailed county maps of the appropriate counties so if removal of the nasty froggies becomes needed I can entice them to run off to go ride the really nasty roads wid me. Then a more civilized group can ride off in a very sensible fashion to go do something like the Wheels of Time museum.
Given that the Dragon will likely bridge an entire week next year there is time to do a LOT of interesting things, with "interesting things" being appropriate entertainment for several different groups.
Southpaw and Rocketman weren't into our cute little suicide runs, so they went off and did something that was interesting to them -- the museum ride was perfect for them as they were a matched pair as far as riding style went.
I'll manage to see the museum on the way, but I will likely see a lot more things that day as Blackliners tend to cover a lot more ground than the sensible folks do. In one day we can range from the Dragon to Boone and back .... going over tall mountain sections taking them little black lines that you would spend a lot of extra time routing around the elbow to go around as you don't see a connection between here and there on your regular maps like the Blackliners do on the detailed county maps.
(and yeah, some of those roads do suddenly go dirt on you -- but they do go over and through)
Southpaw squeaked when he saw a normal dinner run -- what do you think he would have done if he had gotten caught up on a blackline trip over the tops of the mountains to go visit all the rich people's chateaus?
(at full speed of course)
whuuups !! Where did he go?
