Idea for an Excursion get together
Wednesday, I was at the Biltomre, in Asheville, NC. First of all, the joint is awesome. When I got to the ticket gate, I noticed that they were setting up a huge event. I checked it out and found out that they were having an event for a few days for BMW motorcycles. There were hundreds of pop up tents and campsites set up. I know it would be pricey, but it would be a phenominal location for those of us in the southeast and mid atlantic region. It would be also a place to take our families. The have acres for camping and for those of us who do not camp, they have a nice hotel on the grounds. The staff was setting up a HUGE tent to the east of the biggest home in America. It would be a perfect match.
I bet we might evern get some of the suits from Ford down for that!

First of all, can you get the "Marietta Diner" to cater in Ashville 
?
I would love to do it as an escape from a hurricane, but the thought of driving 10 hours and then working for 7 days cleaning up is a pain. I have no idea what it would take as far a commitment wise, but like Thanksgiving or Labor day would be great. However, we cannot cut into football season.
I'm serious. I was very impresses by what the Biltmore was doing to get ready for the events. We could probably get somebody named Ford to come and be an MC or something.

I guess we're screwed then 
Like I said, I dont' care where. I'll go with the majority EVEN if I don't like it.
Would I like it in my own backyard? Yes but that won't happen
