Im the last one home so I want to thank knott ,steph and Bobby for opening the farm up for us to enjoy once again for the May Thang. I for sure understand the work and stress that’s involved for hosting these events and you three knocked it out of the park for such a memorable weekend.
This Gathering ,I believe was extra special since most everyone had tough times and trials getting to knots , but everyone made it ok and seemed to find relief being in the company of such good people after the journey. I for one was needing some R and R in a safe place so a big Thank you again for providing all the ingredients that was needed.

We went on to the smokies since it was only four hours away and so glad that we did as it just whetted our appetite to go again for a longer time.

The freightliner first voyage was a good one and so glad that I am getting rid of the newer vehicles and returning to what I know. This rig is 22 years old with only 65k on the odometer and it clicked the entire trip off at a 12.5 mpg average and never struggled. The dodge I sold would have been in single digits and not comfortable or reliable. This thing gets as much attention as the dog , it’s crazy how it attracts people.

We did the dragon and its really not that bad , in fact we had to ask where it was and was told that we were on it . I gues my puzzled look and my remark of ( I shaved my legs for this? ) was mightily humorous to the Harley group gathered around the mastiff. One guys comment was, that explains why we could not catch you coming up.

The dragon did have another victim but it wasn’t catastrophic. Damnit Dales Harley ate up the rear wheel bearings and gave no warning at all. I checked for anything odd and found nothing but in the next mile it was wobbling from side to side ,another mile and it was smoking so put water on it to cool. At this point we were within 1.5 of deals gap so he coasted and slowly made it in . So glad that it didn’t put him over the edge of the road . He did get a special ride back to camp on the back of the truck .

I finished the 200 mile loop just before dark and took the last pic on a beautiful overlook that I swear one could see the east side of the state.

Thanks to everyone that attended the gathering for helping make another piece of fantastic memories.

I’d like to give a shout out to EZ Dog. Keith let Rick and myself use his car to run back and forth to the Hotel every night and when I left some of my clothes in his car on Sunday he packed them up and sent them to me. Thank you Keith. It is people like you that make this forum so great!!!

Yeah!! What Roger said!! Kept us dry and comfy instead of riding our K9’s to the motel and back in rain…….this is the kind of generosity and looking out for each other that creates the ‘inner circle’ of this organization. The interesting thing is that to join the ‘inner circle’, all you gotta do is show up and make an attempt to get along…haha
