Hoot an'a holler? Is that Tennesee talk for "over yonder"? :D

Hopefully we will still be in the area by then Dave. If we are you know we will be there.

Byrd - when we move to TN in 2011 ("the plan"), I will need to take voice lessons from you :)

Dave - I have put it on my calendar. We are hoping to make it and as Byrd would say, it's not but a hoot an'a holler (or two) from Crossville so we can check-in on the retirement property during the same trip.

Re: 2011 Eastern Region Rally

Jim believe me, you will pick it up easy enough when you make all those southern friends..

Once you start RVing with Heartland, our kids should only be allowed to have January weddings.

It is a great place to take your Harley in a Cyclone!

Well, we go to Maggie Valley every year with our Harley group and Cherokee is south of there.

You just have to remember to check your routes very carefully as the roads are very hilly and
lots of turns..

Cherokee is a town we pass through from Maggie Valley to get to the famous road called The Dragon.. . It is only fun in a car, truck or Motorcycle`IMHO. The Dragon is known for its' 318 curves in 11 miles! We got stuck up there one fall night in the truck during a major storm. Duane can tell the story..

I know that Duane and I got into a pickle just pulling our Harley trailer.
I am sure plenty of folks can get us all there easily..

I Will go mark our calendars now for the 2012 Eastern Regional Rally.

Re: 2011 Eastern Region Rally

Well, ...... there goes all hope of curing this addiction in 2011. First I had to schedule the National Rally in Goshen scheduled for mid June. Then along comes the PA chapter leaders with a PA rally the weekend before leading up to the National Rally. Now we are adding the Eastern Region Rally. What's next??? North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, oh, I heard Georgia as well!!! Before I know it, spinning completely and recklessly out of control, we will have to go to Ohio, Wisconsin, Texas, California, and someone else is talking about a trip to Alaska!!!!!!!!!

Oh I REALLY LOVE IT!!! Oh yeah, the rally-aholic meetings will have to continue. Is there any hope?

Glad to help you out Phil, but I was just the jack man. Larry is the one that did all the dirty work. Glad you made it home safely.It was very good to see you and Becky this weekend and Larry and Sam. too. We will have to do it again real soon.

Yep Byrd that is just what I mean!! 2011 not 2012.. I guess that was like trying to be a yr. older than I am.

They dont call me Iforget for nothing.. will you be my social reminder.. So many groups and dates as you can see, i should also be called "Im confused easily"
thanks Byrd...

Re: 2011 Eastern Region Rally

Very Well put Eric and Dorothy!! I am having anxiety over your post already!
If they back them all up, we could be gone for months! I am not saying it is a bad thing but...
Looks like selective commitments will have to be made if that happens.

Clearly it would be difficult to choose as the more Rallies we attend with Heartland, the more great friends we make.
Who do we leave out? Oh my oh my..
I will let Duane make the decisions and I will follow..being that he is not retired yet. He gets to select his vacations before the next year which is great for those who like to plan ahead.
I personally like to have a few commitments scattered over the season and then have the ablility to throw in a few more fun weekends.
This make me think of our daughters's comment "When are you going to stop camping with all your friends and find time to visit us in London, Mom?"

Re: 2011 Eastern Region Rally

Just emailed Mark to "mark" it on his calendar. I suppose you can add "social director" to his many talents. What would I do without him?
