Ron, I've been looking to do something iike this for a long time. Count me in on the North Georgia tour. My wife doesn't enjoy my Green Machine as much as i do so unless I can find a buddy to go along, I will be solo. I live in Marietta so I'm pretty handy for the tour.

I'm looking forward to this as much as I am to Carlisle. 
A few weeks back, our daughter-in-law announced her pregnancy (this will be my son and her 4th). She's due in mid-September, and we'll be watching her other kids.
This rules out the UK (and perhaps Georgia), but I'd think I'm closer to getting there than I would have been in the absence of this news.
We'll have to see when the baby comes, and how long we'll have the grandkids afterward.
For headcount/update purposes..... No change. Want to go, 50/50 I do.
Thanks for the interest Meade. We are going to need 8-10 to make this thing happen the way we would like to do it. Anybody can book a hotel. We are going for something different.
Stan, I got a TON of flak for going to Carlisle as my daughter was about to deliver our first grandson. As it turns out, we were 1-1/2 weeks ahead of the moment. Still got the hairy eyeball for a long time after, though.
Then, a few years later, both Chris and I got a TON of flak for going to Carlisle as my daughter-in-law was about to deliver her and Chris' first (we were a week ahead - Again!)
Still....... Carlisle is a lot closer than the UK and England will always be there, history and all. In the meantime, you can watch some of those BBC murder mysteries on the PBS channels. 
Michelle and I are pretty much going to come, looking forward to it.

You could have worn this shirt to ease the tension:

Stan's talking about North GA, not Carlisle. That said, howzabout you and Kathy come this time?
I'm really thinking about joining in on this. I have to check my calendar for some stuff, but this is not that far from me and that is a great time of the year!
It is a great time of year. It would be a pleasure to meet you, Bob.
I'd love to do this as well but unfortunately I have a stupid job to attend to and my wife and I are going to burn all my vacation in June this year.
You sound a bit hoarse, Ed. I think you might be coming down with a very slow acting virus that will get much worse around, oh, September.
Sounds good to me Lane.....(cough-cough) So far Sept. is unbooked here.... Any updates from Ron and Maddie???
They have a plan and a venue, but have not yet booked anything. They may be waiting to see what transpires with the various lockdowns. They don't want to book rooms unless they have a pretty solid idea of who plans to come as the deposit to hold a block would be rather costly.
