He just wants to see if you really do have a secret room hidden behind a bookcase (complete with a pool table in it no less) ....

That's OK, he'll never find that secret patio that lets off the back side of the Bat cave. Nor the secret bedroom that is attached to your laundry room and the exercise room, the one over next to the underground pantry.

(hard work, laundry and ironing -- me I need/require a nap occasionally too if I am forced to do any of it).

Hay Toymaker

I've got a secret base of operations in Blue Ridge GA, I can launch from there Friday Morning. Google Map says it's only +_ 200 miles to Granite Fall NC. form there, it's more like 400 from Lynchburg TN.

Now I'm not saying I couldn't do 400 in one day .... But I hope to be better company Friday night only doing the 200, along with not having to "STAND-UP" all evening.

Hope to see ya Friday.

Not going to make this time frame this year as we are already committed. Breeze and I will be there the week of the July 18th--25th. We go every year for a week and stay at the Tree Tops. Maybe we can hook up with some of the locals so we can meet a few of you and ride the Tail!!?? Grin

It's -2 here with 3" of snow expected, so riding is not in our near future. Looking so forward to warmer weather. No amount of time spent in the garage makes up for the wind in you hair!! Wink

However, you have a couch set up for you in the living room.

MMRanch:
I am using map point it says Blue ridge is approx 4 hours from Granite Falls and about 1.5 hours from the Gap. That's the reason I was going to go on to the gap on Friday morning and get a good camping spot. But if I have some one to ride with that would put us in Granite Falls some time in the after noon. I was planning on leaving my house in Calhoun around Day break and I'm only 1.5 to 2 hours from Blue ridge.

Kel 30734

I doin't know the neighborhood around the Gap, it is in N.C.? We can swing by and Claim a camp spot if ya like. A summer day ridding in the mountains is a No-Loose situation the way I see it. I am a bit confussed about the location of "Dealers Gap, N.C. ?"

I've been using "Yahoo Maps", they show (from BlueRidge GA.) Granite Falls NC. being 200+ and Dealers Gap, NC. being 300+, ????

Wouldn't be the first time I've hit a wrong button, if your fimular with the neighborhood ..... what button do you thing it might have been?
