Moderators, if you see something is wrong or is being missed in the shuffle, reach in and fix it -- that's what you got them long fingers for.

THESE EVENTS ARE IN PLANNING AND DISCUSSION -- THE CONCRETE HAS NOT SET COMPLETELY YET .... I am still plugging in names as people show interest, this gives us a tool for seeing who is going were plus the folks who are going can start the refinement process on dates and activities.

So far we got the following in the rough order of doing them. Adding something is easy, talk it up some, put a date to it and we will see if folks are interested by if they sign up for it.

Santeetlah Lake Exploratory Trip April 23, 24, 26 Oldfeller and MM wanted to go relocate some classic blackline trips and check out some new camping places at Santeetlah Lake TRIP IS LACKING TAKERS AT THIS TIME -- respond if you want to go, please.

From here it is a short hop up to the Dragon, and to all the really neat surrounding roads we love to ride. For East Coast beginners, this is one of the closest (and the BEST) Southeastern trip possible. Some have argued the area is the BEST BIKING IN AMERICA and I might have to agree with them.

Undefined East Coast July slot July 15-16

This is an empty time slot looking for a neat event to center upon. Several have been proposed, but not much in the way of takers. Will be reviewed again in March in hopes of a really neat idea cropping up.

MM's farm Sept 8, 9 & 10 MM, Oldfeller, Dave, Lancer

And here is a tool to use in locating some no cost camping when travelling to get to the rides:

Truth is ..... the Parkway is beautiful, but the speed limit is only 35-45 mph, it is marked with a double yellow line all the way down it

Not exactly true. I ride the section around Ashville/Black Mountain, Cherokee NC, and there are places to pass . . . but they are few and far between. Getting behind an old couple on a Sunday morning going 30 MPH can be unnerving!

Piedmontbuckeye, it really isn't far to one of the scheduled trips, the longest away is 2.5 hours from you and the shortest (Kickstand) is only about half of that distance. You should ride up and meet the group and kick around the mountains some with us. It's fun, as you already know. I'd aim at the first day (arrival day) as we get gone for so much of the rest of the time. Easiest meet up after that is dinner time and we'd have to tell you where we were going to eat that day by cell phone.

If we get 4 or more people we may rent a 6 man cabin so nobody needs to haul a bunch of stuff. BUT WE DO NEED TO KNOW SOON, as the cabins will be gone soon.

Santeetlah Lake Exploratory Trip April 23, 24, 26 Oldfeller and MM

This is a free trip. Cabin has been reserved by prepaying. What is missing now are Savage.com people interested in the ride. We still have 3-4 bed slots open. Trip is now open to CMA riders and "other group" riders that you can personally vouch for. Speaky speaky, don't be squeaky.

I'm kinda interested in the whole lake complex -- for a federal facility they seem to have their heads on straight as far as having 3 managed campgrounds, five (5) Ranger Stations and still having all those dozens of free "open to the first taker" camping places that we have been spotting on already.

I am curious as to if it is "by the person" or "by the tent space" at the three full service campgrounds? We could make us some cost advantage using a big tent if it is by the tent space. I also want to know if there is a shower at one of the payme campgrounds in the complex. Yes, see below.

So, we are proposing April 23, 24, 26 ???

I found another free site with a toilet facility. It is actually on the Cherohola Skyway side of Santeetlah Lake. https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/nfsnc/recreation/horseriding-camping/recarea/...

I also see mention of 2 cabins that you can put up to six people into each at a cost of $35 per cabin a night. That is dirt cheap compared to where we have been staying.

https://www.recreation.gov/camping/cheoah-point-cabin-2/r/campgroundDetails.d... YES, there is an open to all campers shower facility 150 feet from Cabin #1 (and Cabin #2, but slightly further away). You can book this place on line, makes it easy to do.

https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/nfsnc/recreation/horseriding-camping/recarea/... Here is another map that shows the town with a satellite shot.

Costs FREE TRIP -- cabin costs already paid for

Next, there is a tiny little town actually out in the lake that is named Santeetlah, apparently it was a town in the area before the lake was filled in and wound up with water on three sides out on a peninsula. It is still a tiny incorporated town made up mostly of rich people's lake homes that is showing up on the map above.

Yes, we can spend some time poking around and find a range from free to cheap places for future use and we may actually maybe find someplace worth calling "home base" for a larger group run.

I bet these two cabin places gets booked up a year in advance on the summer weekends. Weekdays, not so likely. Roll Eyes

Cabin #2 - there is room for an additional small tent if you want but it can not be set up on the grass (only within the gravel pad). So it does make the eating area a bit cramped. Nice view of the lake but a longer walk to your car and the bathroom. I also see a fire pit and firewood .....

Bathrooms and shower are up at the start of the small paved path.

Just in case anybody (Lancer? Springman?) are still thinking about coming down here for ride about..
The wild flowers have started coming out and will be peaking soon.

Of course.. I will be riding about every weekend anyway, and can be talked into riding during the week with enough notice.
As always, any and all (y'all) are welcome here anytime! Cheesy

I will not be able to come in April, I have a 3 day state wide rally with CMA that my wife and I need to go to, and that takes out our fun money for March & April. Hopefully sometime later.
