Here is a poll, pick the dates that works for you and I will decide when we go.

If multiple dates work for you, vote for all that apply. I'll start, I vote once for each.

Remember, if you come, this too can be you:

People need to post up what dates they definitely can't make and factor that into your decision derf. Give some leeway to people we know will come, that way we get the people who don't bail. :lol:

Definitely can't make it anytime 24 to 29 May. The 25th is my daughter's birthday and this is my year to have my daughter all Memorial Day weekend. I'm likely out other weekends in June, but honestly won't know until school starts in the first week of June and I know what the professors are going to require. I may be the guy that shows up at the last minute and hopes someone will let me throw a sleeping bag on the floor.

I'm off 24 -30 may so that would be the best and I would have to take no vacation for any of those dates.

Perhaps this year I can make it.:chug:

I voted for the last week of May too. That's Memorial Day weekend, and if there *is* going to be a better turnout, my guess is that's the best way to get it.

That memorial day weekend is going to be REAL RUFF!!!

Spoke to Vickie about it...

She has 30 of the 42 rooms booked including the rooms we want. She's going to call and check to see if that group is still going to book those rooms. But it's only been a week since they held those rooms and 10 rooms have already been held with a credit card.

She said all of the places around there are going to be booked bad that weekend.

I think we are going to need a different weekend.

Excellent points, weekends are bad as it is throw in a holiday weekend, plus peoples personal obligations.

Vickie said she will get us in our old rooms if we really want them... but that is only 4 rooms.

But it might be hard to get extra rooms....

Gas Man
01-25-2012, 11:45 AM
I think that any holiday weekend should be a NO GO...

too much traffic
too many cops
hard to book rooms

We need to nail down more percise dates...

I will handle checking those dates with Big Lynn.

Thats what I am hoping on, I would much rather get a trip like this in as it will be harder after the baby, but may be able to do a day trip for a track day.

I definitely won't be able to make it if it is moved up. It will have to be summer or fall. Thinking about just doing the BMWMOA in july.

I would like to figure out when this is happening, my teaching schedule gets pretty brutal during parts of the year. I'm off til the 19th, I think it's my longest break for a while. What is the thought about doing it later in the year?

I dont think a spring one is, we may do a small get together for summer or fall though. I can't make a spring one. I will be getting situated with a new house, so I am out til summer.

I would be up for a trip0 down in may if you guys want to go, then could go back in the fall for the official rally. Sept/oct should be workable for me withthe baby.

Dammit, I'll have to see about May, I think I'm back-to-backing until the end of the fiscal year, but I'm supposed to burn 26 days of leave between now and then, and out of the three qualified instructors one of them expects me and the other guy to do everything at work while she does nothing. So I'm not sure.

We aren't doing May now. I think a few of us were thinking about July. Maybe meeting up for the BMWMOA rally in Arkansas/Missouri.

I hadn't thought about going to the National, but I could be talked into it I think. That doesn't sound like a bad idear, and it's not *that* far from me.

I been wanting to get out that way for some time, but I don't think I will stay near the national. Cause hotels are probably full already, probably try to stay in Arkansas and ride over to the national to hang out a day or so.

You do realize that Sedalia is closer to the middle of the state, and not really near the Arkansas border right? LOL.

Heck, as close as that is, I could *almost* be talked into actually camping. Since it's only like 2 tanks of gas away. LOL.

Yeah, I was thinking of staying in Springfield or somewhere kinda inbetween the two or staying in the Ozarks for a few days and then stay near Sedalia for a day or two. I'm not camping.
