My plans are still flexible and iffn Obamma and Jerry leave me anything this year.  So if the river don't rise and hell don't freeze over... I'll be coming.  I need a week of watching trees go by.  So if you need a driver, and someone to load them canyon carvers... I might be comin' your way.

Right now I'm planning on the full week in my tent.
Yamakid won't be with me this year. He has his bike for sale. As I still have many more $ in it than he has, I may keep it myself.

Sounds like plans for rooms will start out with 3 guys in a small room with Lancer, Verslagen and me staying "as early as possible".   Lancer and Verslagen will refine their game plan as we get closer in to it.   We are assuming a Monday/Tuesday as being "as early as possible" but we will learn the real truth as the plans jell a little better.

Wednesday Toymaker (and Rocket Phil ??) will show up, which means rolling over to an apartment or taking out a second small room, depending on what folks want and who else is actually coming.  Current cost differential between apartment and room hardly makes it worth moving all your stuff from A to B, especially if the apartment is not totally full.

I have to deal with seniority on vacation times and with the time span we picked this year I will likely have some other folks requesting the same vacation time span.   So when Lancer and Verslagen spit on their plans I'll press for the vacation days early and then we will see how them dice roll.  I am currently low man on the seniority, so we will see (might have to get sick or something).

Al, which bike are you bringing ???

Okay it looks like I'll be rolling in on Wed. and will require a nice soft comfy bed. I'll be bringing the savage. It might be a bobber by then but we'll see what I can get done before the trip. I think most of my spare time will be spent riding as soon as the weather gets better. We got 10" of wet heavy snow yesterday and it looks like I won't have any power at my house until at least tuesday. A power pole came down and wrecked my deck. It just missed the gas grill. If it had fallen in the opposite direction, my new C50 would have been crushed. And I haven't had a chance to get insurance on it yet.

Anyway, I'll be there on Wed.

Date for me IS the 29th.  Just booked flights in and out of St. Lucia.  Arrive back on 6/25.  That will give me a couple of days to get things ready.

Mountain time...yeehaw

Will talk with Rocket Phil today.

Well, here is hoping that all goes well and you get here for some riding and that my back is fully functional as well.
One thing for sure is that I DO NOT WANT TO TRY THIS TRICK AGAIN ....EVER !
A broken back hurts and takes a long time to heal.

Roll Call

I need a room for a July 1 and 2 (days brother with back problems will be with us).   Friday and Saturday night.

The first of the week .... Monday night through Thursday nite  (Monday needs to be DRY for the ride there) ....  anybody want to split a tent ?   It has a seven by seven foot  floor in it and doors on both ends .   The doors can be "wide open or half open and half dry storage.

Let's see,

We got Big Zuk and MMRanch firm on Monday with a tent a piece with spare room in each.

We got Al and Toymaker rolling in on Wednesday to take 1 small 3 man room.  

We got Verslagen and Lancer coming up as soon as they can get the truck loaded up and get there (fine details not yet known).

I am pending on applying for and getting vacation approval (got me one known conflict and another potential conflict which would inflict the "seniority on vacation" rules).   I may go ahead and just apply blind for Weds-Friday since I am running out of time to "be applying early" and that seems to be the most mountain populated period confirmed so far.

MMRanch, I will be pulling out Friday AM so your brother in law can have whatever bed I vacate.

I really wanted to ride the Dragon this year, but not to be. My riding partner is deploying to the Mideast the beginning of May. My promise to ride this ride with him will have to wait,until he returns. Keep him and his buddies in your thoughts,we will appreciate it. Evidently our leader does not think these people,putting it on the line, are important. Why pay them? Don't politicians amaze you. Did not mean to hijack the Dragon trip, everyone have a safe and a great ride. We hope to do the ride soon.

Sad


Durned if I know how this is all gonna work out -- my bosses have finally realized that too many people are asking off at the same time and have come up with their "solution" -- a sign up calender that will be given to each person in order of seniority so they can pick from the available spaces and sign up for all the vacation they plan to take for the rest of the year.  

According to them, only one person can be off at a time as we are short on manning right now.

Looks like it will be at least a week before I even get to see the stupid calendar and since the week in question was what caused the calender come to being I bet I don't get that time span off.

There is one bypass method, which is to pay someone to work your assigned days and shifts and that is expensive and you have to find somebody that works there who is willing to do it.

Tongue

We have never seen the Gap Lodge filled up during the week so that is a good thing.  Somebody will take an early room and that can hold 3.  Weekends get tighter and the apartments are generally booked in advance for the weekends, so I would base your plans on a single room as soon as the first roomers show up, with additional rooms added on if needed.

Right now you don't have enough rooming people yet to fill up a weekend apartment, not until Lancer and Verslagen declare their final plans anyway.  Certainly you don't want to commit to one for the weekdays as you have a scatter shot arrival pattern so far.

(and you can lose your ass on an apartment if it isn't filled up pretty much)

And to all them fine folks who stiffed MMRanch last year on that last mountain trip, saying they were coming repeatedly and then simply not showing up, well there is a special hot tub in perdition for folks like you, filled up to the lip with boiling tar ....  


    Angry

              I think it's tar .....

                  smells sorta rank though, all dark brown and bubbly .....
