Yes Don I do dream of the fun we will have at MV [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]Looking at the posts and pics from CC it looks like it will be great.And for my priorities I have the OCD man and i need some help Bro.
CC was great Q. Anyone that missed it really did miss out on a great event. Fear not though. You can get your fix at MV.
Somewhat ironically while the hotel was great at CC and the Inn at Maggie Valley is a completely different type of place in some ways we take advantage of it more than we even could the facilities at the hotel in CC. Aside from the restaurant (or in our case taking better advantage of the pizza place across the street) there was no real large public place that we could all easily congregate. We found each other, for sure. But the Inn's parking lot in Maggie Valley sure served the purpose of social venue very very well. We really kind of invaded it. Chairs and beverages drug all over the place. All the bikes all together for everyone to kick tires of, compare and make up stories about. As Ernie said in CC, the riding is great but it's about getting to know the people even more. And the parking lot becomes a special place for that (plus with a downstairs room it's not far to stagger back to you bed later).
