    Gorge Rat Fall Infestation "Make Up Date" ?

    Lot's of us seem to have had problems with the original date. Anyone up for another try November 19 -21?
    I THOUGHT GETTING OLDER WOULD TAKE MUCH LONGER.

    Hey ... I highly reccomend gettin' to the gorge for a hang ... but as far as Gorge Rat Sanctioned Gatherings ... they'll be only posted and planned on Ken's site in the future.

    That's a good time of year to go ... way things are going weather wise might even get snow!

    O.K. whatever works. If it gets sanctioned (however that happens) that would be great. "Unsanctioned", posted here is fine also. Just want to have some company for a few days with some fellow "Rats" in the Gorge.

    Hope some can ... wish I could ... seems I've used up my points with the wife for this month! Sure would be nice if you could get there and get a little snow!

    Weird Weather

    We just got about 10 minutes worth of some kinda wintery mix here in Morganton, NC. Little bit of rain, sleet and snow!! Its gone now. Had to run get the clothes off the line because the sun disappeared so quick. Weird! If the weather can change here so quickly, image up in/on the Gorge. Be Prepared!

    Bumpity bump! Anyone? Any of the dates?

    Need at least one to maintain domestic peace and tranquility. My "mother" (actually my wife who thinks she is my mother) gives me grief when I solo. Hate to admit it but in the Gorge she has a good point!

    Put me down as a "maybe". I had a possible bike trip to do, but it might be chillier than I like for biking. Hiking makes me all warm inside.
