Mary got a call from Carol at the Best Western today. They have had a very good response from people wanting a room there for the Poker Run. Because of that, they are extending the discounted price till Saturday. It was to have ended April 26, but did not due to demand. Very Happy

She also said they have a group of metal workers/artists who as part of their work make bug, bus, and single cab art. It will be on display for us at the hotel and available for purchase. It sounds pretty cool. I don't do a good job of describing it.

I am up for the Photo shoot Maybe we can stage the cars at a lookout spot.

Bring your cameras. Lets get lots of pics for posting on the website.

Maybe someone (James) with a nice camera could take a picture of each car and it's people before we hit the road.

Anyone one who can make short videos is encouraged to do so. One more neat thing we could post.

We are sooo ready to get back to Helen!! Planning to depart from
sunny Bogart by 6:00. Sadly, it won't be in a VW this year Crying or Very sad
But, the route sure will be fun in that little roadster of Jane's!

Probably will miss the traditional Saturday nite burgers to go
have a romantic dinner at one of our favorite places...Zanzo's
on the square in Clarkesville. Best Tiramisu EVER!! We will return
in time to enjoy the rest of the "festivities" Very Happy

Bob

I take it 'we' failed to change 'our' axle seal?! Come on Bob, you have 3 VWs, but you plan to show up in a MAZDA? Rolling Eyes

:evil: :evil: :evil: I'm going to bed and put this thought out of my head. Mad

I would probably need a "Tech WEEK" at my place to get caught up with everything on my vehicles!
Corky's axle seal turned into a wheel bearing, bearing spacers, possibly an axle shaft, and a new brake drum.
My orange 'vert needs a wheel cylinder, one inner wheel bearing, a tune up and install a new (to me) muffler.
Marlena needs front brakes and a battery. Got to get her ready for the proposed camping trip.
So, that leaves me with the Miata. Cruising those mountain roads in a crew cab Tacoma, simply was not an option!

Bob,we'd rather have you without a VW, than not at all. Life simply gets to dang busy to keep up with it all! I have 60 poker run t-shirts, 2 cut up onions stinking up my house, and a hotel room reserved, but my bug is still waiting for me to bring it back to life Crying or Very sad

Last minute thing: check your spare's air pressure. Yes, we hope not to use the spare, but mine hadn't been checked in 4 years. It was at 2 lbs. Shocked

Also, If you have the ATHENS VW CLUB sign, please bring it to the run. We think it was last seen at Joey's shop get together. This is the sign with the metal stand that pushes into the ground. Thank you. Cool

This year's run was the BEST so far. It was also the biggest. We had 41 VWs as we headed to Fender's Diner. The weather was perfect for cruizing through the mountains. It was a beautiful sight seeing all those VWs driving along those curvy roads.

I want to thank everyone who joined us this year. I also want to say a special thanks to Clyde, Steve, and Mary for all their work putting all the details together. Ya'll did a great job and everything came off like planned. Thanks to all the club members for their help filling in where needed and to Tracy for the shirt design. Very Happy

I had a great time and I'm looking forward to next year's run.
