Bash East IV - 2007 - 3rd Weekend May
Cup-o-Hemlock was chosen by fiat to be the responsible Beakster Planner for 2007 Bash East.
Nominated places: (no Order of preference(yet))
Return to Lafayette Hotel, Marietta, Ohio
NORTH - Finger Lakes Region, NY
NORTH - somewhere else in NY State but I don't know where
South - North Alabama - Huntsville region
South - North Georgia - somewhere really good but I forget the name
Mid-Atlantic/Mountains - somewhere in WV
Nothing is decided except the 3rd weekend in May...

I could not agree more about the timing Mike.
I am also going to say that we did not even come close to getting to all of the possible roads in the Marietta/Parkersburg area. We never did a ride in WV. BTW, Ohio 26 will also have fresh pavement within the next couple of months.
I do not care where we go next year. I will be there, but I also want to show you guys a few more SE Ohio gems.

Maybe the 3rd time is the charm. I wanted to go last year but work got in the way. I was all set to go this year and my bike got trashed by a one eyed truck driver . I have already blocked the time out on my schedule for next year. I am going to show up next year even if it's on a Vespa.
Yer wanted by the police and my wife thinks your dead.

Just Checking
FWIW Department
A 500 mile radius from the VA-TN-NC border (more or less Bristol, TN/VA) includes New York City, Toronto, Buffalo, Detroit, Chicago, St Louis, Memphis, Meridian, Mobile, Tallahassee, Gainsville, and the entire East Coast from Daytona to Jersey. Just outside that line are Syracuse, New Orleans, Orlando, and Hartford/Boston.
Shift the line NEWS and offer some ideas for a location.
Personally, I favor North Alabama or Finger Lakes Region, NY.

I wonder if my first (and last) planning decision could be to thrust the planning badge upon another unsuspecting member?
This is what I get for asking questions
I am looking forward to the next Bash already! I am, of course, willing to help plan too.

Alas, I still have the school year to deal with in May as final exam preps are needed. I read the Bash pics with envy.
My freedom is coming.....a few more years....hang in there for me guys you are doing great.
For those interested in the Finger Lakes, I attended this rally 2 years ago.
Hurricane Francis chased me north Labor Day weekend from NC to NY and it turned into one great weekend.

Well run affair. Breakfast available every day and some great roads and scenery. Watkins Glen campground is nice too. The rally publishes a 75 mile 'waterfall tour' that is fantastic.
If I can get a Labor Day weekend off, I am going. But I will get jinxed by a hockey tournament.....

Freedom is dangerous. Those in power that steal freedom are more dangerous.

Don't Tell
Don't tell my married daughter since she is too young still, but I miss little babies. They are so wonderful.
Great pics, thanks.

I don't know, I think it would look great on him!
Nice pics guys. Congrats on the little ones. Phil, you're my age you can't possible have grandchildren!
Bob, you're excused this year. Think about next year though! It's a good time.

Back on Topic
Okay, great pics of innocents. But we have only one year left before the Bash IV and nothing is planned!!!!!!!
C-o-H is a reluctant selectee for the top spot. Understandably, he didn't wish it; we foisted it upon him.
So here's the deal. I'll plan the 2007 Bash subject to the following conditions:
1. I am the ultimate decision maker. I will take inputs, then when I tire of the various conflicting ideas, I'll decide. That will be that.
2. I will arrange for both lodging and camping to be available near the chosen site. I will arrange for at least one sit-down, reserved table dinner and award/gift exchange/recognition thing.
3. I will not arrange entertainment, routes, or group rides. Google Earth and Yahoo Maps exist for your individual pleasure.
4. Someone else will have to step up to do T-shirts or other commemoratives.
5. Nobody complains.
Note: I was the trustee of a Real Estate Trust and HomeOwners Association for 8 years. Democracy sucks.
OR
Someone else can offer to run things. I have a Hungry Mother to feed!

Oh No
I'd love to be in charge. I just have lost any interest in New Age, Horizontally Integrated, Wireless, Feel Good, Everybody is a Winner, Can't Lose, Idea Sharing, Win-Win Solutions to planning a biker rally.
For Instance: If I were asked to make a decision today it would be:
Bash IV 18-20 May Huntsville, AL Monte Santo State Park
Hotel/Motel/Camping Info to Follow. See link... http://
Done.

Wow - only 11 months away, and two pages already.
Alabama is too far west to be called an east bash, so that's out. Unless you want to re-name it the south-central bash - that could work.
What about Florida - nobody EVER mentioned poor Florida. We could go gator tipping late at night for an activity.
What about South Carolina? Don't leave them out!
And Kentucky......
