Dead batteries and break downs all over the place. Fuck. These are fairly inexpensive at HF http://www.harborfreight.com/automotive-motorcycle/tow-straps/3-ton-15-ft-tow-strap-36608.html I'm sure you could daisy chain them all together and the Big Kawi will have plenty of power to tow them all at once. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Mine is permitted to tow it then. I passed it on the way home from the gap last year[emoji38] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 I ain't towing anyone. Leave 'em on the side of the road in WV and blast banjo music on the stereo as I drive off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyler524 Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Any open cabin spaces left with anyone? I can always bring the sleeping bag down with me worst case if there is some floor space somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler524 Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 The website is showing one, one bedroom Willow cabin left and one two bedroom Azalea. I will give them a call tomorrow if there isn't anything open and see if I can get the one bedroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, we have a block of cabins and lodge rooms, so they would show as available on the website. You have to call. They may have been released already though.

tyler524 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I just booked a room for Wednesday through Sunday for a double queen bed room. I am officially in for this trip now. If anyone else is looking for a bed, I have an extra to spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun starts instantly at that point, down 16 to Marion for the night. Pauley meets us there. Then Thursday is epic. The Snake, 209, 212 Wheels Through Time Museum, bit of BRP maybe then Blue Crab Bisque in Franklin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is a point where I will tell others to f' off and die. Don't want a huge group on those back roads......we have six now, not counting those that drop out due to dead batteries or crashing. Current plan is to meet Ben and Matt and the guy whose name I don't know in Beckley around 3:330 or so Wed. Matt is tied up until noonish. So I was just going to leave in the morning, not too early and wander down 800 or something. Then a couple of hours down 16 from Beckly to Marion VA for the night.

I do know Blitz was interested in a two day down as well that would be the only other person I would think of. We wanted to do a two day down and then trailer home (his girl is driving down). I am open for anything/ time. I'm going to go put in for more PTO right meow just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
