Kevin, can we still use our Priority cards? Hope so, I like building up points.
Busted, the dates are the 15th and 16th. Maybe the reason it's not a sticky was because people were complaining that the date was too early, whining about it being windy and such. Us hard core people aren't going to let some wind stop us from having a GTG.
I have the feelers out for places to eat, so far it's possible for the Black Pelican or "Eat and get the hell out". I'll know more tomorrow.

Is "Eat and Get the Hell Out" really the name of a restaurant? Sounds relaxing . . . .

Oh, i can certainly understand that - just seems like a get-together full of forum people would be more easily facilitated if said people knew about it

I agree, we would have more people come if more people know about it. It took me a while to find it again after it was moved. A little trick I learned a long time ago. If someone keeps coming over to your house and you don't care for them, just move and don't tell them. It works almost every time.
I hope that is not the case here. HaHaHa.

You're right about that. I've been looking for Mom and Dad for years, ever since that day I went to school and came home only to find the house empty. They moved away and forgot to tell me . . . .

. . . I'm sure they had a lot on their minds. Yeah, I;m sure it was just an oversight. Although it HAS been twenty years . . .

Eat and Get The Hell Out is a great place especially for Brunch, Sam and Omie's is also a relaxed place for dinner/drinks if you are south enough, it's by the split. Wish I was going I do

definitly, feel free to repost on any relevant parts of the forum, or PM other area members if you know that they don't know you know about it, ya know?

Dates are definitly set, March 14, 15 and 16. A few of us are arriving the evening of the14th so there will be others there if you plan on coming out friday.

For eats, I suggest RV's or tail of the whale.

That would be my guess but I don't know.

Just theoretically, what might a person miss out on if they came down friday evening, did everything Saturday, and headed home Saturday night. Anything exciting planned for Sunday yet?

Any interest in the Currituck Lighthouse? The Queen Elizabeth in Manteo?

If some people are going to be there on the 14th, I guess I"ll just meet you at the hotel?

I think that's the H.I. Kevin was talking about.

I checked the map and come up with some suggestions.
Bodie Light house 20 miles south
Hatteras Light House, 60 miles south
Currituck Light House 25 miles north
Wright Brothers Park 5 miles south

As far as places to eat, I can't help.
Our plans for Friday night are to rest up after our 8 hour drive.
Our plans for Sunday are to make the 8 hour trip back home.
Saturday is open.
