    Well, in years past membership has always decided.

    We need to CLOSE the POLL midnight October 31st 2017

    Those of you straddling the fence, please vote.

    The "Annual Rally EVENT" has always been hosted where we have had the largest gathering possible.

    PLEASE place your vote if you haven't done so.




    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.

    Colorado might only lead because the more popular east side vote is split between two locations. A fair poll would require more than 50% to win. You can more easily do that with only two contenders in maybe a run off. My unimportant 2 cents!

    The location between North Carolina and Kentucky...... those votes will be combined for the final Tally. Were just trying to determine if the majority of votes are for a Rally to be held West of the Mississippi or East of the Mississippi.

    For those of you that have attended the 2013 F6B Rally (we grilled chicken and sausage in the back of the Microtel) The 2014 Rally (catered by local restaurant) and the large 2015 Rally where we had a rolling barbecue pit on site and we were fed by a local restaurant ... Good times were had. The GOAL is to replicate our 2015 Rally. I am back on the road and God willing, we will be orchestrating a large Rally again (70-90 attendees is our goal).

    Oh wow, that doesn't seem like a fair poll to me. If you aren't going to have the rally where the majority of the folks want it, why even bother with a poll. Just saying.. When did you add that twist?

    That's how I had always understood it would be tallied. Not sure where I got that understanding though, previous post perhaps? I haven't looked back at any. Phantom's post #125, counted West Coast vs. East Coast votes.

    I do wish the Smokey Mnt. & Kentucky choices had been lumped into an "East of the Mississippi" option though, then it later could've been decided further from there between Kentucky, Smokies, or Franklin.

    It is beautiful in that part of the country and I love the lack of extreme heat in the summer we have here in Florida. I do bet it is some kinda cold lots of the year. I have a problem most don't have, being that it is about 10 ft above sea level here where I live and when I get above around 9000 ft. elevation I find it hard to get a good breath of air. Took a rent car to Pikes Peak a couple of months ago and was glad I was not on a bike. At the 12K or so top I was plum dizzy and don't like that feeling at all and could not wait to get back down. Experienced it again at Rocky Mountain National Park. And it was dang cold and snow on the ground in the middle of summer. I do have on my bucket list to visit Beartooth Pass and some other places along the way up to there when I can plan at least two weeks to make the trip. That would include a lot of Western Colorado. Maybe bringing some oxygen bottles will help.

    Your point is well taken. Anyone who is not physically fit should plan the altitude part of a Co. trip by carefully taking incremental stages along the way and go easy on the booze.

    Now that I've said that out loud I wanna go east to what BigDawg refers to as the Bourbon Trail and the smell of horse shit...whaaaaaaa

    I'll probably pass Will as he heads west. Dang!
