    Ok so the BG meet just got the ball rolling and wet my appitite for more so, and we already started talking about next nears "annual" event to be somewhere around western Arkansas.

    But in the meantime, let's cook up a Fall Run Gathering someplace east of the Mississippi...then we can keep it going.

    I thought we could look for some existing Fairs, Festivals or Events that we could piggy-back on so we can have several things going on to see & do. Camping, Hotels, B & B - it's all on the table so let's get something in the planning.

    Bull Dog


    So far this looked interesting: Culturefest  in Pipestem, West Virginia

    I can do Maggie Valley (Maybe) depending when? That's 520 miles from me (A days ride) on the bike. Ya'll see what you have from the other sites in question and pick what's best for EVERYONE. If Maggie Valley happens to be picked; I feel pretty positive I can be in on that one and if not, then maybe next time....I'll be watching with interest...LOL
