Burt Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Well, I'm out again. I won't be able to make it. I haven't attended an event in a long time, and was looking forward to it. It's just not going to work out this time. I just cancelled my room reservation, so there is one available if anyone needs a room. Link to comment
Folkdancer48 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Really sorry to hear that, Chris. Since I have missed most of the BMWST events that followed "HelenBack" in 2012 (and I assume you were able to make some of those), I was looking forward to seeing you this time around. Hope you will be able to make this one up later in the riding season! Link to comment
Folkdancer48 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Hey, Ron. I am still waiting for you to show some enthusiasm for this rally. Why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel. Link to comment

I got through it with my RT. You may also want to check out the Wheels Through Time museum. Good stuff to look at, and they all run! Link to comment

Kinsley Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 There are several places in town. Rukka's Table across the street is one. There's an Italian place (Ippolitos, I think) down by The Old Edwards Inn. Heading out of town towards Cashiers on 64 E look for Sweet Treats. A great lunch, but I'm not sure if they're open for dinner. Link to comment

tallman Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 The hotel across from the Edwards Inn has always been good. For a lunch, the Sapphire Mountain Pub, back in next to the pro shop for the Sapphire Mountain golf course off of 64 in Cashiers has some good food and great beers for when you aren't riding. (1/2 hour from Highland's). The pizza place in downtown Highlands is actually decent. 99.99% still no go, but if I can't we're there in spirit. Link to comment
Lone_RT_rider Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I know others have mentioned it, but in case anyone is still wondering the parkway is fully clear and in good shape. I personally verified the stretch between The Pisgah inn and the Little Switzerland Inn yesterday. All ist gut! You kids have a great time... Shawn Link to comment
David_1200 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I'm finishing up my planning and looking for rides in the area. Are there any sites with routes with Highlands as the start/end point? I've been to the Skyway, Dragon, etc. and am looking for more. thanks Link to comment

Folkdancer48 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I am out. Developed a pinched nerve in my back that radiates severe pain down right leg. Can't walk unassisted. This is a HUGE disappointment. Look forward to seeing everyone April 24-27, 2014 at next BMWST event. In the meantime, if anyone needs a room at the Mountain High Lodge in Highlands, I will be canceling my three night room reservation tomorrow at around 12 noon, which should open things up for others.
