I'll be on the gulf coast most of September for work.  I looked at the distance and too far to travel on a Saturday morning just to turn around and come back on Sunday.  From the photos it looks like they have made improvements since the last time I stayed there.

David Phillips (green Stelvio) hurt his knee at work and it looks like he is down for the count.He has cabin #1 reserved Friday and Saturday and will not be able to make it.It's too late to get a refund on the 1st night so if anyone needs a cabin or wants to upgrade from camping David will be happy to eat the fees and tax and give you a break on the cost of the first night.Feel free to message me and let me know if your interested.
Thanks,

Mike

I will know tomorrow afternoon if I can possibly end my work trip early and head that way.  No camping gear so will need the bed.  No CPAP so according to my wife there will be noise.   :shocked:

George,I'm still waiting to hear back from David (Twowheeladdict).He was supposed to let me know on Friday but I haven't heard from him,I messaged him this morning and still haven't heard back.They will cancel David Phillips reservation on Monday if we don't pick it up.In that case he will lose all of his deposit and the cabin will be up for grabs to the general public.

It is still iffy that we complete before Friday. I can’t commit to the cabin.   I probably need to go home and see my wife anyway. She will be with me until death do us part.

Well, I’m staying away from Dahlonega on Saturday (too bad because the wife wanted to go there while at the rally.)  There is a white supremacist rally.  So there will be protesters and counter protesters according to the local radio station.   Geez, I’m avoiding Dahlonega this coming weekend.

Bummer. It is a pretty town. When they had a kkk gathering in Pulaski, TN a few years ago they cordoned off the area and no protesters showed up so the dozen or so participants did their thing and left. No big deal.

Ignoring them is the best policy but the press and the protestors can’t do that anymore.

Hey who wants to hit Helen for good German food /beer late morning before the crowd gathers?

No need to go near Dahlonega, though it is typically a nice place to visit. If you are not familiar with Hell-un, I can give you some ideas where to visit. Octoberfest has likely started, so expect large crowds.

Thanks Wayne.  Have a nice evening!  My wife already has decided we’re heading to Helen, and I’m sure it will be crowded but we will handle it!

Saturday ride lift off was approx 10am and Wayne showed us all the smooth way to hustle a bike around the north Georgia mountain roads.

   Made it home to Tampa at 6:30, slabbing it all the way. We ( my friend Craig on the Concourse ) only hit about 5 minutes of rain in FL. Craig was truly impressed by the friendliness of the Guzzi people and was especially thankful to whoever it was who offered a dry bed in a cabin when his tent got flooded in that Saturday rain. Craig probably won't ever own a Guzzi, but he has respect.
