Guys, I should have a webpage up tonight with registration information (forms) and hotel info (left that list at home this morning...).
What I'm currently thinking:
Southern Power Wagon/MVPA Rally
Uwharrie National Forest (Baden Lake Group Campsite), North Carolina
April 24-27, 2008
Friday:
Gather at Baden Lake (group campsite) on Friday morning for trailrides. Tony Casey has agreed to lead us around the trails all day starting with some easy trails and working our way up to harder ones. He's got some buddies who regularly ride the trails there so we can split up the group if needed.
Supper night will be on everyone's own. I suspect that a smaller bunch of us who are camping might go in together on something and cook at the campsite, folks who are staying in town (Asheboro or Albemarle) likely will hit a restaurant...
Saturday:
Gather at Baden Lake (group campsite) for more trailrides or for convoy up to Delks' Surplus. Will also have a person located at my sister-in-law's parents' place in Farmer so folks can gather there for a convoy down to Baden Lake (group campsite) for more trailrides. Otherwise, folks can report directly to Delks'.
Group at Delk's will convoy over to the Aviation Museum after lunch for a tour of the facility and some photo's taken with the planes. I'm thinking about making the drive from one to the other a tad longer than a direct route (so that we can enjoy driving around the countryside some) with a stop at the Pisgah Covered Bridge. I'm also planning it so that the folks trailriding in the morning can get up to the Aviation Museum for the afternoon, or folks at Delk's in the morning can go down to trailride...
Saturday night:
Either have a BBQ supper at the Aviation Museum, Farmer sister-in-law's parents' place, resturant in Albermarle, or at the Baden Lake Group Camp...
In between runs to the Aviation Museum, Delk's, Trailrides, and Saturday Supper, we'll have some social time (vehicle displays) at either the campground, the musuem, or at the farm...
