This is the week.....:Excited:......and a number of our group are already getting on the road this morning --- leaving Scotland, Texas, Ohio, Michigan. Everyone be careful out there! Have a wonderful journey and we will see you in a couple of days in Maggie Valley!
Bazooka and I are both staying at the Four Seasons (I am in room 29) and we should be easy to find there if you need us or have a question.
Some general info:
Bazooka and I are both very excited about this rally. Our planning of it has been a team effort from day one, and we are looking forward to sharing every moment with you all! A few particular acknowledgements:

Some general info:
- Name tags: Please pick yours up from me and wear it all weekend -- we all "know" each other online, but will need a little help in person
- Cookout tickets: Bazooka has these ready. They will need to be picked up from us ahead of time and brought to the picnic with you -- the only way you can be sure to get to eat (remember, there is Oreo Pie for dessert! )
- Merchandise: TrikeTalk and and TOI t-shirts, flags, patches, decals, and ball caps will be available for sale throughout the weekend.
- Suggested activity destinations, local restaurants, and detailed ride information will be available at both motels.
- Please carry a contact number with you when you are out riding in case of emergency. Bazooka will have a truck and trailer there for the weekend and we could come haul you in case of a breakdown (God forbid!).

Bazooka and I are both very excited about this rally. Our planning of it has been a team effort from day one, and we are looking forward to sharing every moment with you all! A few particular acknowledgements:
- We've both got a right-hand-man/woman who support and help with details along the way, and will be pitching in this weekend too. Thanks to Marge, Claudia, and Mike who are so supportive of what we do and the time Randy and I put into the forum every day!
- Skuuter has done a great job organizing the daily group ride and the suggested optional rides for those who prefer to go out independently!
- Spiritdream (Cheri) put a lot of work into our name tags, and then at the last minute could not come, herself. We will miss you this weekend, Cheri!
- Blondie Gal (Nancy) and Spiritdream worked up the list of suggested activity destinations in the area, and Nancy was instrumental in helping us find the caterer who will so ably feed us at the Saturday cookout!
- Gorilla (Ted and MJ) have once again provided us with fantastic banners announcing our rally. They will be posted outside the motels, and we'd love you all to sign one of them for us. Believe me, both Randy and I consider these a cherished momento of a great weekend with our TrikeTalk family!
- Thanks to any of you who have generously contributed to our door prizes raffle. These will be given out at the cookout.
- We appreciate all our sponsors here, and a special thanks to those of you who have been able to come and support us in person this weekend. FYI, these folks will be set up for the weekend on the grounds of the museum, and we encourage you to stop in and visit them. You might even find some bling available over there........
- Huge appreciation to Dale Walksler, the owner of Wheels Through Time Museum, who graciously invited us to make his property our very special "home" on Saturday for the picnic and then for a special rally-only museum opening that evening. Our museum admission will be discounted and they have also committed to add to our door prizes! The support for our rally planning and the assistance offered in hosting us this way has been fantastic! Thank you so much to Dale and Matt Walksler!!! You guys rock!
