Scouting Trip, RFTH 23
« on: April 15, 2018, 06:05:09 pm »
The Scouting Trip for RFTH 23 is scheduled for May 19.  Based upon who says they are going to participate, I will select a starting time and place by May 12, the day of our next club meeting. 
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Sorry, Scott.  I had posted a reply, but I guess I didn't click on Post.

All I can say at the moment is that I plan to base in Franklin, NC at the MicroTel Inn, where we've stayed before.  The Cherohala Skyway, Foothills Parkway and The Dragon are included. 

Depending upon who plans to attend, we can select a meeting place down here to cruise up together, or we can just meet in the Fun Factory parking lot just down the street from the MicroTel Inn. It's important to try to depart at our normal 9AM start time in order to better determine lunch stops and dinner schedule.

I have been talking with Jim of the Georgia Triumph Association.  I had issued an invitation last year and this year for their club to join us.  He says they will not be joining us, but will be doing their own thing up at Fontana Village, instead.

Keep it in your schedule to join us on May 19 for our scouting run.  This is a more leisurely drive than the event in September if you so choose. 

I would like for everyone to meet at 1036 Georgia Rd, Franklin, NC 28734, which is also known as US 441.  This is behind the AutoZone store.  If you aren't coming to the meeting this Saturday, I want to be able to leave by 9AM in order efficiently log times for lunch and evening dinner.

How about the station up past Gainesville on I-985?  Was it a RaceTrac or QT?

I checked it out and it's a RaceTrac.  It's just past Mile Marker 25 on I-985 at the traffic light at Howard Road. 

Paul, is there any chance you and Toni will join us?  You could drive up Friday evening and stay at the MicroTel Inn in Franklin.  That will be the area for our starting point.

Ron, you need to come along for the shakedown run, too.  You might not be able to make the September event, depending upon your work demands.  You and Paul grab that guy with the yellow GT and bring him along, too.

If we meet at the RaceTrac at Mile Marker 25 on I-985/Ga. 365 in Gainesville, and be gassed and ready to pull out by 8AM, we can be in Franklin by 9.  That will allow us to start the trial run at about the same time as the actual run.

Budgetman72, let us know if you plan to join us. 

Dave, I'll give you a call later in the evening to find out what your plans are. 

I'll bring along about 6 route sheets.  Everyone bring their radios.
