    September 22 - 25, 2022 Non-Invitational DGR Rally in Maggie Valley

    It is back and you are still not invited. Everyone is welcome, but if you need a special invitation, you don't fit.

    So this year is going to be at a different location. The following is the pertinent information on the main rally.

    DGR rally in Maggie Valley, North Carolina
    Starts Thursday, September 22nd, and check-out is Sunday, September 25th.

    Location: Meadowlark Motel in Maggie Valley, NC

    For reservations, you must call (828)926-1717and state you are with the TRP-DGR group
    Meadowlark Motel
    2878 Soco Road
    Maggie Valley, NC 28751
    Meadowlark Motel

    Here is the email I received from the hotel:
    ************************************************** ***
    Here are the basic details:

    Checkin Sept 22 - out Sept 25. Add on days are almost always available on either end

    Reserve Approx 15 rooms

    Discount of 15% ( must call to reserve rooms)

    We have a range of room types:

    1 King bed
    2 Queen beds
    3) 1 Queen Bed
    4) 1 bed Creekside cabins with kitchens and living area
    5) 1-bed queen rooms with separate Jacuzzis
    6) 1 king bed suite with kitchen and living area
    7) 2 bedroom cottage with kitchen, living room, and fireplace
    8) 2 bedroom family suite with kitchen, living area, and fireplace.

    34 total rooms, 31 currently available.

    We also provide a free BBQ and live music every Saturday at our pavilion.

    Plenty of trailer parking.
    ************************************************** *****

    You must reserve by calling in and using the group name (TRP-DGR). The cutoff for cancellations is Sept 5, 2022. I will be calling them on September 1 to release any rooms not reserved. When I cancel the remaining rooms, the discount goes away.

    Hanging out in the parking lot is permitted as long as we are courteous to our neighbors and those who are lucky enough to rent rooms at the same time. If you have a drink please put it into a cup before putting it into yourself. There are a few grills available, some lounge chairs, and plenty of space to hang out.

    Food and fuel are close. We are closer to the restaurants than at the last hotel. Breakfast is served next door and the steak house is across the street.

    Wheels Through Time Motorcycle Museum is within walking distance as well.

        Yes, yes I do. And although I was invited to go along on that ride, one does not need an invite to attend this rally. As a matter of fact, an invitation in anathema to the camaraderie experienced at the Non-Invitational.

        I had anathema once. Got some antibiotics and it cleared up.

        Look at the little kid over to the side, that wishes he could get a motorcycle when he grows up. We have to always be careful how we act, we never know who's watching us and who we might influence!

          Love this photo. Joe and Susan are so . . . so . . . I don't know, . . . so bright and fresh! And James? Well, we all miss James.

        Joe, dare I ask if there's been any conversation between you and Pirate? If he wants to throw his soiree, the best time to do it is when we're nearby. Just sayin'.

          No, I have not. Last year kind of got entangled with his party and ended up not having either.

        She's not interested if they're not sport bikes.

          Unfortunately, Chloe passed this past Spring. A big loss for us. Best dog I ever had. A friend to all, human and animal.

          Just a reminder. I am going to release all open rooms that have been reserved on September 1st. If you have not reserved by then it is on you to secure your rooms (which may be available but not at the negotiated discount, that would be up to the hotel).

            I made reservations at the Meadowlark Motel today. I asked for a room with a king-size bed, and they had one. For three nights the total tab was going to be around $740. I gulped and asked about other room rates, and a room with two double beds was $390. It sounded almost reasonable, so I booked it.
            But if you're still unreserved, it would pay to ask when you make your reservation.
            I’d rather think someone’s a son of a bitch than to have him think I’m a son of a bitch.

              I spoke to the Meadowlark on the phone just now and brought this up. There was a glitch in the reservation system where they had two rooms booked together. They have fixed that issue so if you want to call back and change your reservation they are now aware of it. I just booked a king room for $360.
