Got an email from the IH...among other news was this...
Latest News from Iron Horse

Conestoga Wagons
Camp in comfort in one of our newest additions at the Iron Horse! Based on authentic 19th-century wagons, the Conestega Wagons evoke Old West ambiance with modern-day comforts. Each wagon has air-conditioning/heat, under cabinet mini-refrigerator, table, chairs, towels and comfortable bed linens. Convenient to restroom and showers. Choose from King or Twin beds. $149.95 per night + tax.
Iron Horse extends season to Nov 25
Iron Horse is extending the riding season! Yes, that’s right! Many of you want to get in some more Smoky Mountain riding before the winter season arrives so we’re staying open until November 25. The roads are way less traveled in November, making your riding way more enjoyable!

If you are a US military veteran, bring some proof (DD214 maybe?) of that fact to the IH. I heard you may get some sort of discount. I'll look further into this some time soon.

2 bed room available
I'll be rooming with EarlG so the left room in Cabin 201 with 2 singles will be open. Let me know if anyone wants it. I call it in Monday.

Demands are high at my job, so I have to do this with a minimum of time off. My XS1100 is hopefully going to make the journey. It has been neglected for a couple of years. I’ve got it on the lift. I replaced the tires yesterday. I still have to finish contending with a fuel leak, change oil, and check remaining fluids. I had the carburetors off for maintenance, and I expect I’ll be checking my work on the nine hour ride to the Iron Horse. So, it goes.

My plans changed a little and now I'm on the 75B.....it's a perfect example of " I'll bring my bike to help make your bike look better....your welcome! My bike will be available for photos all weekend....it's easy.....just park your bike ANYWHERE near mine and take a photo of YOUR bike...( make sure you leave some of my bike in the photo....no need for full view, it looks the same front to back) ..YOUR bike's photo is a winner every time. Free of charge...your welcome.

My bike has a giant smashed bug on the side of the tank. Maybe it was a bird. Half of it was on my pants. It sat in storage for several months. I've ridden it just enough to cover it with dirt and bugs. I may or may not be able to give it a bath before the trip.

You really are such a civic-minded git Gordon!

Last year Lucille filled that role so now she’ll have a buddy!
