Well, on the 25th I roll for home, because I have to go to work that night at 11:00 pm.

What everyone else does on the 25th is up to them, as they haven't got a clock to punch -- they could stay at Santeetlah at the same spot if it is open, or move to a set of free spots that we will have identified by then and have the party continue right on through the rest of the week.

Once again, somebody needs to contact Lancer to get him to ring in, then you can plan better.

All of these places list as addresses in Robbinsville, NC

Got folks looking for detailed directions to get to the campground cabin site. Turns out the nearest town really is Santeetlah Lake, NC which is across the bay (south side) from the cabin.
All of these places list as addresses in Robbinsville, NC Robbinsville is only 8 miles to the south on Hwy 129.

Cheoah Point Campground is a listed destination point on Google Maps, so you can navigate directly there just as easily.

Next, if you are coming is is customary to post something to that effect on this thread so folks will know you are coming.

Also, you need to check out your bike, check your front brake pads to make sure you got some pad thickness left and check your oil level and tire pressures. Got some tread still left on your tires ???? I did that one year, but I had some tread when I came but it evaporated on me due to hot roads (100^oF mid summer road temps will do that to you)

These are all items that have caused repeated trouble before, with no brake pads being the one that strikes my memory as a "larger" avoidable type issue (3x that I can remember). 2x on the tire air pressure and I can't count the number of oils as we all carry some with us and we just fix it on the spot.

And the "infamous variable" fairly inaccurate one month out forecast --- reality is it rains "a little bit" some on every one of our trips whether predicted or not. Since we are mobile and the clouds sorta fixed, we just tend to go the other way.

Some enjoy watching the predictions come and go, and it does .... it is infamously variable after all.

As the ride leader on one trip, I wanted to go explore a nice twisty road and made a turn toward the dark clouds when we were riding in GA. A bit down the road I glanced in my mirrors......and the entire group was gone!

I turned around and found the group parked along side the road.......they had Mutinied! Not a single person in the group had any kind of Bluetooth or communicator - but somehow they managed to meld their individual thoughts of protest into a combined effort, and they wanted to ride "away" from the dark clouds!
