2007 Non-Rally at The Cove, October 12 thru 14th

[kyle4501]

i know this is a stupid question, especially after 3 pages of posts, but where is this rally?

it sound south of us, and we're goin to be in the carolina's at that time doing shows.

Thanks BK & JR for the links & directions!

First post on page 1 in this thread has a link to another thread concerning this non-rally. I only mention this to make sure everyone understands the park limitations - the main one being that the campers must be fully self contained with functioning toilets, sinks & waste tanks. These are gubberment rules since the campground does not have any bath houses.

All are welcome - & as long as you meet the requirements, you can stay overnight . . . . .

Yo!  Google has a great sat view of the park.  Kyle, where's the buses going to park?  I'm going to pay for a campsite for Anita and John when I arrive so that they will be located next to me.  That isn't like "reservations"...hmmm?
Breck, are you going down I-81W and catch I-26S or East as it may be?   Watch that hill coming out of Asheville (actually just past Hendersonville).  Keep your retarder on. 
If you find yourself near Charlotte, come on by and I'll show you the rest of the way.
Well, today we celebrate 25 years of matrimony.   Had our silver anniversary.  Never thought I'd live this long!    Been a good ride!
Looking forward to the October 12th weekend!
Cliff, and NCBob and Jon, when are ya'll coming up....and down? 

JR
 

Congrats JR on both,  anniversary and living this long  

I'll prolly be coming up friday.  just a suggestion, If the first buses ADAM 69, that could be a gathering area.

SEE YA !; Bill

[captain ron]

Looks like I'll be coming over there and bringing my dad. I just talked to him, he's always threatened to come on a trip with me but never has so I'm calling his bluff. As long as there are no surprises I'm set to come. How many buses and who all do you expect?

[kyle4501]

As for the bus nut Non-Rally, I count ~18 units, mostly busses but there will be some of those "trailer people" & a class C or two 

The Airstreamers will have ~20 units & the other group is expected to have ~10 units.

[NJT5047]

Kyle, will an indoor area be readily available for jams?   If the weather's nice, we won't go inside....we'll pick outdoors.  But...if the weather is -40* and drifting snow...well, that just wouldn't be any fun picking outside.  Have you any idea where in the park the buses are going to placed as a group? 
No no biggie, just curious.
One of the best campground places I ever played in was the ladies room.  Showers and all.
Great boo....ummmm acoustics.  Yeah.   I know, nuthing funny here either. 
'There will be! 
Ron, you going to be there?  Bringing yer gitar are ye?
That oughta give us another guitar, bass, mando, and I hope like H a Ferrari driving bango player.  Then we got John an Wynona's and Gary's vocals.  Banjer player is up in Hendersonville.  Ain't too fer away.  I suppose that I should mention that Greg has his Ferrari painted to resemble some sort of old Chrylser sedan.   Real smart on his part.  His Ferrari hasn't be stolen yet.  Incogneeter you know.   
BTW, Gary, what instruments you going to bring?  You have a guitar and banjo? Se?
It'll all work out!  garuntee.     We'll see what happens!  JR

[kyle4501]

The heated & air conditioned 'Palmetto Hall' will be available for us to use IF the airstreamers don't need it for a meeting or something. They have a schedule of when they need it, & we can look at it & make our plans around that. 
When you are jammin, I expect there will be more than a few Airstreamers in the audience.

BTW, if it's -40, I'll be at home - 'cause I'm leaving well before the hard freeze  You know how thin skinned some S&S campers can be! LOL

[kyle4501]

Holy COW! less than 2 weeks to go 

How time flies! 

I guess I need to start doing something towards getting some food 

[NJT5047]

Kyle, let me know what food or supplies are still needed.  I'll bring whatever. 
JR

[NewbeeMC9]

Does anybody have one of those portable fire pit things to bring.  I dont recall fire rings at the cove.  Thought we might want the central fire pit

I'll bring some firewood.

[captain ron]

I keep a portable fire pit in my bus (fully enclosed).

[NJT5047]

Jon, will they allow open..or even not so open, fires?  Don't reckon it makes much difference since Ron's got the burner anyway...or should that be Mr. Charlydavidson?  Harley will be after Ron's butt soon enough for infringement!    Just as soon as they see the web address!    That's definitely funny!  I don't care who you are! 
Around here they don't have enough water to put out fires.   Things just burn down. 
There is good news though, we've had a major drought in the this area for most of the summer.  Yet, every time I've been out in the bus this year, it's rained like #@ll.  So either way this time, I win.  I'd rather see nice warm, dry weather, but rain's OK as long as we got an indoor place to do our thingy.  We've been to 7 events this summer and I've had to put up the awning at every one of them at some point due to weather.  It got ripped off at Oakboro.  Hell, I'm coming to Kyle's Non-Rally anyway...in spite of the weather!   
Ron, you got any gigs booked for the Biketoberfest at Myrtle Beach?  You were there last year?   
Oh well, I'm sitting here listening to shag music (I know  ) I ripped and burned for T.
Just bought a new laptop, and I had to sort out the burner anyway.  May as well screw up her music.  Found out the the burner when set on "fastest" burn speed will overrun the buffer.  Loses about a half the music.   We got it straight now.  Just another day...just another day....
Looking forward to seeing everyone again!  JR
BTW,  Ron, does your fire ring operate on LP?  I've got a new fill sitting here.  Could bring it if your fire ring is LP and will attach to a 20lb gas grill tank?  Let me know. 


 

[captain ron]

It holds fire wood. no need for LP.  Why would Harley go after me? I'm not infringing on them Their name is Harley Davidson mine is Charley Davidson. Nothing booked for Myrtle Beach, When does that happen?
