XS East 14

[GLoweVA]

For anyone traveling from and to the Northeast who may want to ride along, here is my route:

Thurs 5/22 - NYC to Norfolk, VA via Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. Always wanted to run that causeway on a bike.

Fri 5/23 - West through Roanoke to pickup my GF who is on a rendezvous route via Amtrak. Then to Summersville, E.T.A. 7-7:30

I'm not sure about my route here from Va Beach/Norfolk, but I might ride with you west.
If not, at least I can maybe meet up for dinner on thursday night if you want.

OK.. Sorry. Didn't hear the rim shot on the drum.

[DAVINCI]

Ok tried to make a joke that fell flat. Won't be the last time.

Maybe Marty can discuss with Helen?

[trbig]

Sure, Tod, but that's with some other group.

I have no idea what you're even saying here? If you go to Priceline and put in that town and those dates, that hotel came up for that price for those beds.

[DAVINCI]

Not to throw a kink in things, but just looked on Priceline, and for the same room at the same place for the same dates is $220.86 inc taxes, and it's cancellable up to the 23rd.

Might talk to that sweet lady on the phone and see if she'll match that? $32 is $32.

Greg, may we just camp at your house? I think there's plenty of room.

Mountain Lake Campground

Short drive for me; maybe five miles and, to beat all, MartyA has smoking rooms available for a change! 'Just my luck lol!
Mtn. Lake Campground used to have furnished campers for rent too. They are currently closed for the season; don't know if one would get an answer, but their number is 304-872-6222.
If I can be of any help, shoot me a PM!

Mountain Lake Campground & Cabins

It's five miles away. I have pitched my tent here on three occasions (with motorcycle), but the last time was several years ago.

Anybody want to rough it?

[madmax-im]

You guys are tight! I know a place nearby, where you can pitch a tent and there's a decent bath house to go with it. It's been a few years, but I'm sure it's cheaper than a room and only 5 miles away.

Where is it Marty?

ok I maybe cheap in many ways but a roof over my head is still preferred to sleeping on the ground in the springtime in WVA...

[madmax-im]

just a shade over 300 miles one way...not a long distance award but thats just fine with me...and all backroads...no hwys or toll roads...
