Trip planning -- year 2018
09/10/17 at 16:12:54
We learned some things about TIMING last year --
don't plan before very late May early June (weather/rain is just too erratic)
and don't plan for after the first week in August (college is back in session and vacation time block outs and HURRICANE SEASON makes things get all problematical).
So, our best planning time band is actually June July.
Best trips this past year were to Kickstand Lodge and to MM's Farm.
Mistake made last year was planning too many trips
(about half never happened) and believing that casual members would actually show up (about half never did).
By planning fewer
very solid trips
we will likely be more successful next year.

OldFeller ,
We can put the Bikes in the bed of the truck or two bike trailer (if you want to pull it) and unload them at a Black-Hills campground for a week if ya want !
That's an area I've been wanting to "EXPLORE" for a few years now .
If you can get away for a "Wild-
Hogs
SAVAGES type adventure then we can leave out the Crazy MotorCycle Cop , and give it a go !
If Ed has a yard (to camp in) left after IRMA then we could run down to Bike Week 2018 ???
If they promise not to behave we could invite the entire Savage Community to join us ?

You and Dave are fancy free after Dave retires, me not so much.
Insurance per month is currently $650 per month and INCREASING all the time. I
have
to work in order to have coverage. I do have vacation days to spend, but I have to put them in 60 days in advance (preferred) and they have shown lately no compunction about cancelling them abruptly.
Me and my work issue have no real bearing on trip planning. If I have a no-go at work, I simply can't go.
This year I would suggest not paying a lot of attention to me, plan the trips for you, Dave, Springman and the folks who are attending the trips regularly.

I'd probably be a little bit pissed off at anyone who supported that genius piece of legislation.
Thankfully nobody on this forum is a big enough dumbass to have been guilty of such lunacy.

June, July sounds good for me. The only possible conflict there is with a family vacation. I'll be checking to see what you guys come up with.

It might be good to have just 1 or 2 group outings that are planned far in advance - with the potential for spontaneous or surprise trips offered as the opportunity arrives.
I will be far more flexible in the future - provided that they are Thursday through Sunday trips. I believe my new "semi-retired" schedule will be a full day on Monday....with half days on Tues/Wed/Thur. I can work a full Tuesday or Wednesday and take Thursday off occasionally. I will have vacation and could take off for a week or two if we can arrange a Black Hills event.

We were planning a trip to the Keys but it looks like that is cancelled for at least a year.
I'll need to see if my wife is open for it, I think it will be fun but don't know how she will take a bunch of "Bikers" descending on us.

Steve, got a lot of wind and rain but was far enough from the center so we only got hit with cat 1 gusts. I lost a lot of tree limbs and was out of power for about 24 hours. No damage to the house or shop.
Can't host the Daytona Bike Week 2018 trip, got some zoning problems about having people camp out on my property.

That's OK Ed , when we do find a camp maybe you can join us ? Last time I went , the ABATE group of Daytona had a campground set up for about what it cost to operate it.
I wonder if Florida will be ready by March from Irma ?

I'll look around, I think the Cabbage Patch has primitive tent camping under the trees right down the road from me.

Thanks ED ,
Say , Ed , Is it really Cold Cold Cold , in Daytona at Bike Week ?
I went in 2014 and it was warm in Tn. when I left --- then turned Cold while I was gone so that I had to ride in chilly weather on the way home but I had my nylon insulated bib-overalls and jacket with me so it was OK . But , that is only one time ...
... I was only visiting , you Live there , so what's it like most years ?
