This sounds like a great tour. I'm checking with the Mrs. on the dates. I hope we don't have anything else planned.

Hey Bill
Since I live close by do you mind if I tag along on July 26th I could hook up at Stockbridge and join up for the day heading home at 5pm if that's not OK just let me know

I'm looking forward to going but only if my wife, Jan, can get the time off and accompany me. We spend to much time apart so I work real hard at spending all the time I can with her as time is something none of us are guaranteed. That also includes friends of which I've found out that I have a lot more than I deserve. Just show up Dan and we'll have a ball !

WILDBILLandRED · 02-13-2008, 05:50 AM

Finally got my "Supporting memeber" tag,.. with all the form filling, I should have just gone with the lifetime option...lol

Mason57 · 02-13-2008, 06:57 PM

I plan to be there. I will have a copilot if I can talk her into it. She don't care for the SSR (Ride)......But likes what we will be doing.

WILDBILLandRED · 02-14-2008, 04:29 AM

Mason,
Be sure to tell the co-pilot all the roads are smooth

Average speed will be 45.

Have a Great Day

Wild Bill

To All:

After talking with my wife Jan about our schedules it was determined that we could not make the Tour. We will miss being with everyone and will be looking forward to the next meet.

OMG...I didn't realize these were both the same weekend

We are signed up for Niagara and I was really looking forward to this one.

I think I'll show both itineraries to the Mrs. and let her decide.

PS...Thanks Rich for waking me up!!

woofman · 02-22-2008, 05:37 PM

Hey Jamie,
I think you left out a G in the lake spelling!!!!

I try to hold one "G" back just in case! I think one less "G" makes it far easier to pronounce. Actually as a freshman in college I had to learn the name of the name of the lake. I panicked until I was told that it is actually Webster Lake.

Well Jamie are you gonna tell everyone what that means in the Nipmuc Indian language or are you just gonna leave them thinking we're nuts up here in MA and have a "G" fetish.

Sidekick · 02-23-2008, 06:27 AM

No Poppa, the name has nothing to do with your collective "G" spots! If it did, according to the women up there none of you men would be able to locate it!

Actually the locals have tried to attach a less hostile translation for the name over the years saying that it means: Englishmen at Manchaug at the fishing place at the boundary.

We were taught that it was named after the resolution of a dispute between the English and the Nipmuc over fishing on the lake and it became:
You fish on your side, We will fish on our side and nobody will fish in the middle!
The name just sort of rolls off the tongue

WILDBILLandRED · 02-26-2008, 04:43 AM

Sorry about the date,.. it was the only one left that had lots of openings so we can get a good deal. The usual cost at Eastover for a weekend for 2 is $580.
The deal we are getting ($430 per couple, $225 single) will only apply if we can get 15 rooms booked out.

Jamie,.. Where is the ...
"Chargoggagoggmanchaoggagoggchaubunaguhgamaugg""You fish on your side, We will fish on our side and nobody will fish in the middle" Webster lake?
.

So far we have
YES

Webster Lake is in Webster, Mass near Dudley, :15 minutes from Sturbridge. Not worth the drive, just had an old memory flashback. It's an age thing!

WILDBILLandRED · 02-26-2008, 07:58 AM

Great,.. Ill add you to the YES list Mason.

I was wondering where that "G" lake was,.. I thought I knew my area...lol
I have a meeting in Surbridge next week,.. Ill stop by the lake to check it out.
.....But Ill stay on my own dang side..loll

WILDBILLandRED · 03-04-2008, 08:38 AM

Hey Fellow Fanatics,

Eastover will hold a block of rooms for this price for another 2 weeks. If we cant come up with the minimal 15 rooms by then the price will be $580/ couple.
Remember, the $430/couple and $225/single covers breakfast for Saturday and Sunday, Supper for Friday and Saturday, Entertainment for Friday and Saturday, as well as your room for 2 nights.

I set up the stay at this resort for historical atmosphere, But if the price is too much, please let me know. I can set up at a hotel instead. But when you do the figures over the 2 days, its not that much more to stay in one place for the weekend.

Please send feedback..

Wild Bill

Bill........That is a little steep $.....but when you consider the meals and dancing girls

.....not so bad. I'll go with it.

CQQL_SSR · 03-17-2008, 07:59 PM

I'm trying to arrainge for someone to take the three kids for the weekend.
It is probably one of the hardest things I will have to do all year.
Not to many offers from family to take a 4, 6 and 8 year old.
Grandma & Grandpa will have something planned for that weekend I'm sure.

Charlie

WILDBILLandRED · 03-20-2008, 10:31 AM

It doesnt look like there is much spark for this event.

How about if we move the date so it doesnt conflict with Niagra Falls?

I can set up at a hotel insted of Eastover to cut cost, I have room in my back yard for 5 -10 tents..lol

Everyone interested, please post feedback.

Thanks

Wild Bill

Barakouda · 03-20-2008, 02:34 PM

It was just luck of the draw. Hard to compete with the Niagra run.
I am interested in the area though, and would go a week earlier or july 11th

I liked the lodge but would still be happy in a motel. Or pitching a ten in the back.

Any ideas on this Wild Bill. I need to know when you would like to change ths to so I can make plans.

Do you have full hookups for my camper?

I don't do tents.

Charlie

WILDBILLandRED · 04-01-2008, 01:45 PM

Well Folks, I let it go for a while.. It Dont look like theres much interest for a full fledge event.
I will put together a run for a Saturday/ Sunday for those still interested.

How about a real histoic run, We will hit some hstoric areas, ride thru small towns and back roads and we'll bring coolers and have a pic nic lunch near the lake.
I will check my Calendar and the SSR calendar and see what comes of it.

Hotel will be around $100 for the night.

I will start another thread as soon as I get a date set.

Have a Great Day
Wild Bill

P.S. .. Charlie, I have electric and ill run a hose out to your camper, Ill pick a weekend when the lady next door is on vacation and you can run your crap pipe thru the shrubs,.. so yes,.. I do have full hooks ups

.... lol

woofman · 04-01-2008, 03:04 PM

Pick a date Bill,Dot and I will be there!!!!
