DragonRider Posted August 10, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 10, 2017 Due to Charlene's slower than expected rehab from her hip replacement surgery, we sadly will not be able to host Vogel/Tail of the Dragon this year, but Vogel will still be happening without us, as I knew one day if would likely happen. Taking mine and Charlene's place are two very special VR members, they have helped us out every time they come and honestly I don't know if we could have done it without their help. Dana aka Dokon, and his wife Missy will be filling in for us. I know it is in good hands. It would be of great help to us if you could respond to this posting as to whether you will be coming, so we can get a handle on a couple of items. One being the usual Sat. cook out and meal at the shelter. Not knowing how many people to cater for is a major obstacle, so it could be a cookout with everyone pitching in for food to be purchased and then cooked at the shelter, or if not it could be another group lunch somewhere in Blairsville. It going to be up to the attendee's on which direction to go. There will still be door prizes given out if everyone brings an item valued at between $20-$25.00. There will not be a registration when you arrive, just a sign in sheet showing your name and home town. I will also be sending a Morgan Carb Tune to be used for a raffle. There will also be t-shirts available for a donation of $20.00 or more, and some will be used as door prizes also. Please, if you plan on going to Vogel, please respond to this thread to let us know how many are in your party. Vogel/Tail of the Dragon VIII Hwy 129 Vogel State Park Blairsville, Ga.

DragonRider Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted August 12, 2017 Check in will be located on the front porch of the Office/Store. Dana and Missy should be there sometime between noon and 2 pm on Wed. If they are not there when you arrive check at cabin 30. Hope everyone has a great time, Charlene and I might be able to come up on Sat morning with Paula and Jamie. Be safe and enjoy, and remember "Its all about the Kids".

Woody Posted August 12, 2017 Share #6 Posted August 12, 2017 Thanks for the heads up Lewis. Do we need to start a Vogel 2017 contact list? then when we are there one message can reach everyone in attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we need to start a Vogel 2017 contact list? then when we are there one message can reach everyone in attendance. I think this is a good idea. I started the first ICE (In Case of Emergency) list at the first Asheville Rally due to a wreak and misunderstandings at the prior Vogal. Fortunately, we have not had another crash, but we did have a breakdown at Asheville and the list came in handy. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Randy, I was thinking make a group on our phone and a text could be sent to the group all at one time or to an individual if need be. I have you, Skid and Katrina in a group now but I don't have the other's number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to be in a tent? We have not made reservations yet. I just hope the eclipse crowd leaves by Wednesday. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, so does this mean a couple are to bring a $20-$25 gift each? As tight as we are going to be packed in the Miata, it might have to be a gift card for McDonalds.

Venturous Randy Posted August 14, 2017 Share #16 Posted August 14, 2017 OK, got a problem. Vogal is booked on all campsites for Friday night. Wed/Thur is open and Sat is open. I just booked Wed/Thur and hope that Fri may be open with a cancellation, The thing that frustrates me about Vogal is you can not reserve a specific site like everywhere else. In TN, I am reserved at Hiawassee State park on the Mom/Tue and I know which spot I will be in. Last time at Vogal there were plenty of sites open and we were able to stay across from Woody. This time there is no telling what we can do. I know I should have booked earlier, but I figured after the crowd left after the eclipse, there would plenty open. So, we will just see how it goes.

Woody Posted August 14, 2017 Share #19 Posted August 14, 2017 well this is crap, I got my vacation approved and did not reserve a site until I knew Trina was going to get hers and now I have to split sites. staying 22-26 in a tent site then moving to a 40footer. I sure hate to break camp and set back up. I will try to get them to fix it to where I can stay in one or the other. and yes I figured the camp would clear out after the eclipse.

Venturous Randy Posted August 15, 2017 Share #23 Posted August 15, 2017 Hey Woody, for the 23rd and 24th, they have my little camper in a 40 footer. Not sure about what I am going to do for 25th as we may move to Seasons Inn. It aint gonna be like it was two years ago where we had the run of that end of the park. Hell, this year there aint even room for any bears. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonslayer Posted August 15, 2017 Share #24 Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) Don't count on the bears staying away. There are so many they are migrating to Atlanta. Edited August 15, 2017 by Dragonslayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
