Meeting Recap--August 29, 2015

Eleven of us got together at Timothy Saturday to firm up a ride plan for September/October, tie up some loose ends from our July meeting, learn something, and have a good time.

We settled on September 12 for the next ride. It will follow the plan pictured in http://rideplanner.harley-davidson.com/rideplanner/share/738196 This includes a ride along the Ocoee and Hiawassee rivers and up Chilhowee Mountain. More details will come out as the ride date approaches.

We discussed the ride-n-camp to Mt. Mitchell tentatively planned for Fri/Sat October 23-24. While this may happen, it seemed to have been supplanted by interest in using TWO in Suches for camping rather than the much longer ride to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Mt. Mitchell. This will be sorted out by our September 26th meeting.

Much of the remainder of the meeting focused on video messages from the Baloney Shop, Captain Crash and an assortment of short instructional/safety clips, as well as a peek into a kangaroo's pouch, courtesy of one of our favorites, Smarter Every Day.

After the meeting we had a chance to look over Bob's new bug-out vehicle (Ural Gear-Up sidecar rig) pictured below in photos supplied by Larry.
