ETDOC Gatlinberg gathering

["Sean Howley" <delorsche@xxxx>]

Well, the ETDOC Gatlinberg even was a pretty good success. I mean, where else can you go and see Aaron running out into the middle of the extremely busy main drag (and I am not kidding - ask Scott as his car overheated for the first time in the mess) and chase down Nathan as he was just arriving, without spilling his beverage - pretty impressive. Also, where else could you have picked up the phrase "hey YO!" and know what I am talking about. Anyway, we had a pretty good time there. It's too bad there was no 'D' at the car museum, but where else could you see a 917 parked right beside the General Lee - only Tennessee (just kidding - kind-of). Also, the pool was great except for the 500 lb 18 month pregnant alcoholic woman that showed up around 1:30 am and scared us away - but that is how you get things to talk about.

We are at the very beginning stages of our next event which will take place early next year when it starts to warm up. The event will be centered on a very special drive. We will be traveling on a very special section of Hwy 129 (we did this same drive in Feb of this year). If you have not ever been on this road, it can not be explained how much you have missed. This road has attracted motorcyclist from all over the country. By the time you reach the end of the 11 mile stretch (I think that is the correct distance), you will have a smile from ear to ear. The drive has the most curves for its length than any other road in the US. If you want to test your driving skills or see how well your DeLorean really handles, this is the place to do it! It is so early in the planning that we haven't really begun asking people about interest, however, I think that I can safely say that those that came to the first one will probably show for this one just to do it again. Again, if you have not done this drive before, you need to do it sometime before you die, it is a necessity. I only live a few miles from the entrance of the stretch, so if you are in the area and are interested in doing the drive (at a different time than the event we are planning), hook up with me as I am always looking for some excuse to go on that ride! We will have more on this later, but if anyone has any questions about it or anything else, please contact myself or Aaron Posey.
