marcopolo Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Great! Room booked, arriving Wednesday, departing Sunday. That said, my CC was rejected twice when the woman on the phone tried to run it. She mentioned that the same thing had happened to someone else earlier today. She said not to worry, that my reservation was confirmed regardless, and gave me a confirmation number. She said she'd try my card again later. Link to comment
Indy Dave Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) What's your CC number, I'll try it for you Added: I'll try a down payment on a new GSA, if that goes through, you should be ok. But just to be sure, I'll go ahead and put the rest of the bike on there too! Edited May 3, 2017 by workin' them angels Link to comment

marcopolo Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) Hah. By the way, do they have hair dryers? Edited May 3, 2017 by marcopolo Link to comment

ltljohn Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) John - this is a disturbing trend! I agree, I have to make my schedule work several months in advance, so advance notice of events as early as possible is helpful. Don't worry I can keep a secret. See you at the UN!

steve.foote Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 In! Reservations made. (Note: The receptionist seemed new and was unsure how to do the booking. You just need to be patient with her.) Link to comment
Bernie Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 IN! Or at least I added it to the calendar. We will see how work works out. LOL I will make reservations a little later. Link to comment

Endobob Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) I am looking forward to another good FART! I will be heading down and back from the DC area with Marcopolo. Arrive Wednesday and depart Sunday. Edited May 4, 2017 by Endobobdds Link to comment

John Ranalletta Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I hope I can make this. Had a cabin in the woods on Murphy Road between Murphy and Blairsville. Many great roads within minutes of the hotel. Union Co. used to be dry. Don't know if it still is. Years ago, one of the first El Paseo events was held in Blairsville and the cops hassled riders enjoying a pop in the hotel parking lot. Link to comment
tallman Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) IN! Reservation made. Beth and I, pending doc approval. John, It is no longer dry. Think Calvin set the tone with the Camelbak filled with beer. Edited May 4, 2017 by tallman Link to comment

walton66 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I'm in. Currently on hold waiting for the desk clerk to complete a checkin.

Indy Dave Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Bud - Don't worry, I know the DRILL! Speaking of drills, if you don't make it this Fall, Mark, Bob and I are going to ride out and pay you a visit. I'll make sure Bob brings drill!! John - this is a disturbing trend! I agree, I have to make my schedule work several months in advance, so advance notice of events as early as possible is helpful. Don't worry I can keep a secret. See you at the UN! John - I know you THINK you can keep a secret; but there is a rider from North of the Border who I hear tell has ways of making you talk! There are ways...you don't want to know!! And if he doesn't have a HAIR DRYER... it gets UGLY!! I'm happy you will at least be out and about when we FART, looking forward to seeing you at the UN! Looks like a beautiful place to ride and take in the views... It is and Well worth the SHORT ride for you! I hope you can join us. I hope I can make this.

Things have changed and our Parking Lot Social tradition will go on unchallenged. I hope you can make it John - we had 3 Hoosiers at START. Marked on my calendar. Enjoyed last year!

steve.foote Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) I think the Blaisville Witch has run them all off. Dave, I wouldn't read too much into the old 'Blairsville Witch' stories. It's probably just a bunch of old wives tales told by older members to scare the newer folks. I'm sure there's nothing to them at all. ;-) Edited May 7, 2017 by RightSpin Link to comment

It's probably just a bunch of old wives tales told by older members to scare the newer folks. I'm sure there's nothing to them at all. ;-) Nahh, I doubt there's anything to them at all. I've always found the 'seasoned' members here to be very friendly and outgoing. In fact, at the last FART, I had some take the time to teach me the fine art of Snipe Hunting. Regretfully, I never caught one, despite being out all night. Great guys - they let me have the easy job of waiting for the snipes to be flushed my way while they went off in search of them. I guess they got lost in the moonless night and somehow made it back to the hotel just about dawn. They were seasoned hunters though, for all the work they did, they looked very rested and if I didn't know better, I'd say they'd slept in their bed all night!

Indy Dave Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Jim & Jim - Great to have you both back for a return ride! Mike - Told ya these are habit forming! Chris - Now you're talking!! Glad you can make it! Terry - Can't wait to see what hidden gems you'll discover. Mike - Nicole is a Brave (and welcome!) Lass Mr. Takser! - Great - the Hoosiers are making a comeback! ***It's worth mentioning that the block hold and special rate for our group expires 30 days before FART. The hotel does have higher seasonal rates in effect at that time and rates will be higher if you book after the deadline. Just sayin' Link to comment
John Ranalletta Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 IN reservations made for 2. Thanks for setting this up. Link to comment
Blind Squirrel Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 No can do for this one. I am going to be in Wytheville, VA at a different rally. The locations are too far apart for me to hit both of them this season. Link to comment
