6 of those pictures are located on the BRP....
I know the ones with the pines are at the "Highest point" pull off, we all have similar photos archived there over the years,
some of those others are very similar to shots i have taken of Cold mountain....
I'm thinkin more like The Pisgah inn... what say ya Jerry?

I do think those meadow shots look suspiciously like the Boyer station area though 8)

Post by: COGnosticat0r on August 11, 2013, 01:27:14 PM: The Pisga inn Looks like a great spot. hwy 276 would be awesome if they would pave that damn thing. More bumps than pimples on a teenager face :D

It is said that the rally will be held east of the mississippi River but not too far east, so now I am thinking more west of VA or NC or even WV

Just a few more weeks and we will see. No matter, my butt will be there God willing and the creek don't rise. Hell let the creek rise, be a good reason to get the hell out of here :)

MOB, you plan on going Be good to see you again.

Post by: Tele130 on March 03, 2014, 09:44:16 AM: I just paid my registration fees. I'll pay for the hotel next week. I plan on leaving the Milwaukee area on Sunday June 15th.

Anyone from the area plan on going down. If you wanta hook up, let me know. Man, I love TN.!!!!! ;D :thumbs: :chugbeer:
Title: Re: Concours Owners Group 25t Anniversary “SilverDammit” National Rally
Post by: B.D.F. on March 03, 2014, 11:01:06 AM: You might want to also post something about meeting other folks and riding to TN on the COG forum. This forum is fine of course but both forums will get you even more exposure to people likely to be traveling from your general area.

Thanks Brian,......good idea :thumbs:. However, I dont mind riding solo. That's 95% of my riding anyhow :chugbeer: ;D.
I'm thinking of doing this as a "One Day Ride". Somewhere around 700 miles? Not hard to do on the Connie :rotflmao:
Title: Re: Concours Owners Group 25t Anniversary “SilverDammit” National Rally
Post by: Tele130 on March 03, 2014, 03:45:23 PM: 740.7 miles to be exact ;D. According to the GPS. ::)

Post by: Tele130 on March 03, 2014, 04:03:35 PM: Sounds like "Rally Central" is booked up! :o
Title: Re: Concours Owners Group 25t Anniversary “SilverDammit” National Rally
Post by: The Pope on March 05, 2014, 03:18:07 AM: I've seen a post or two from people wanting room mates. Double check the COG site for post of that nature in the Ride section (where the 2014 National Rally is posted).
Title: Re: Concours Owners Group 25t Anniversary “SilverDammit” National Rally
Post by: connie_rider on March 05, 2014, 06:09:39 PM: Tele130,, Rally Central has been booked up for some time, but you can call Rally Central (Holiday Inn) and they will get you a room at the Best Western for the same discounted rate.
I understand that the Travel Lodge is nearby too and less expensive.

NOTE: Book a room NOW as I think they will all fill up soon.

Ride safe, Ted

I have so many splinters and metal shavings in my fingers they look like a pin cushion. Looks like I have about another 3 or 4 weeks before its finished. June is looking pretty good right now. After I get done with this project I am going to be ready for some adult beverages and some good ol' parking lot lying and bench racing with my COG buddies. And yes you are one of my "inner circle" folks.

Post by: MAN OF BLUES on May 02, 2014, 11:09:42 AM: just a heads-up-
the Rally Central hotel is currently fully booked, they have contracted with the Best Western Plus directly around the corner, a couple minute walk (you can see the H/I from the hotel) and have guaranteed the 79.99 room rate for the COG Block. (normal rate that week is $169/night...)
I appears to be a full service place, FREE breakfast, and A LOUNGE...

phone # is 423.282.2161

You should still call Rally Central to get on a list though and if cancellations open rooms they will call you
