Free Concert Featuring Boogertown Gap
Boogertown Gap is Ruth Barber and Keith Watson, a wife/husband duo and sometimes band. They specialize in the music that was played and sung by early pioneers and settlers of the Great Smoky Mountains and vicinity. Enjoy old Celtic ballads, fiddle tunes, American compositions, Negro spirituals, and those ever-present, unknown traditional tunes!

Next year we will get different stuff of the same kinds, but during the same time span.   First week of October has 66 high and 53 low on average for the month and decreased rainfall.

=======================================

Looking at it, I think we have more stuff than we can do.  

How about each of us say their favorites out of the list and  lets see how the distribution goes.

I like Thunder Run, Dave's Run and Big Dog the best.

Sounds like a most excellent suggestion.

We have a long history of taking little over night trips, on some of the exploratories we did the dotted line trick and never stayed in the same place twice.  To save convenience and hauling space we stayed at cheapie hotels that we found using Kayak or Priceline.

Adjust the length of your trip accordingly to give enough time.

It should go without saying ... but I'll say it anyway !   I have room for over-night-ers' on the way too and from events , in Lynchburg Tn.  The living room has 5 recliners and we have one spare bed (most of the time   )
There is also all the tenting room (up to 100) , fire pit/sitting wall , and covered bike parking (up to 20) .    Bring something to throw on the grill and your favorite beverage (w/moderation)   .

I'm thinking yes on :
Texas
Florida
Kentucky
Blue Ridge Parkway
Retirement life is GREAT --- go with it the first day you can.   Spair time with little money is better than lots of money with no spair time .  

I think we are finally doing some real ride planning ......

We'll go see Dave's farm (and think he underestimates the fun we can have shooting and fighting catfish on ultra lite tackle --- throw in an overnight to someplace scenic and it will be quite a trip.

In 2017 we may do something similar from your end of things, who knows?

And you are right, we don't have to spend a mort of money to have a good time.

Art, I don't like to fish  ---  I like to catch.

It's all in the artistry and fish fooling (cheating) that gets the job done.

Well, down here its all flat roads and beach, unless you guys want to swim in the gulf for the first time, just to say you did it.

I am about 45 minutes from panama city and usually take a semi-scenic route to get there, once there, panama city beach is PACKED with bikes... and about 4 main venues to go look at stuffs.

It lasts for about four days, the fifth day vendors are usually packing up to leave and there a only a few hundred bikes

Still it is something to see and do for a couple days... april might be chilly for dippin' yer toes, but if your from up north 60 degrees sounds great

In all my time down here (off and on for about 25yrs), I've never really looked for historical or entertaining things to do as the beach, bar and seafood thing pretty much keeps everyone busy... and I like to shoot pool and throw darts and have been active in those leagues for a LONG time.

There is parasailing, deep sea fishing, dolphin cruises, and in fort Walton there is an indian mound museum (drive by it all the time, have never stopped in), and SEAFOOD... TONS of it. (I don't like seafood, but can stand to watch folks eat it while I munch on my steak or burger).

Most things down here are tourist trap things....which mean moola'... the beaches are free, the gulf is beautiful and the traffic is horrible during spring break and mid summer

Like I have said.... do a "google" of the area and i'll go check out what folks think would be interesting to see or do
