Maggie valley June 2019

Real life happens, as they say, and yesterday was no exception.
I got home from work late to an empty house. Car was gone, and the mail had not been collected from the box, so I assumed my better half had gone directly to shopping from her school. About an hour later, I noticed an email from her asking me to call. The first thing she said was, "I had a bad fall." And the second thing was she was so sorry to cause us to miss Maggie Valley.

As I type this, that was yesterday, and now she is recovering from a hip replacement.

I asked the OR doctor directly about the trip. He thought for a moment, and said possibly - would depend on how her physical therapy goes and pain management.

So the Rocket is iffy, though I still plan for us to take the trip, one way or another.

Just seeing this Paul. So sorry to learn of this but glad she's in recovery. What a sweeheart to think of it's impact on a trip when all you are worrying about is her well being.
 
Just started checking out airline tickets. What is the best airport to fly into in NC? I'm thinking Charlotte is the closest but is that a major hub or would another be better? Or perhaps Knoxville TN?

Now that I get to ride a Norton Commando.............

Knoxville is closer than Charlotte. Ashville NC is closest if you can get a flight into there

Not too concerned about closest but rather cost of flights, rental car availability, routes etc. I've got a friend who has place outside of Ashville and he has 11 bikes. I don't know why I didn't think of Bud earlier but I'll give him a call. Ashville used to be a great little town until the grainola bunch took it over.
