November Event #2 Xmas Tree Hunting

[GarnerFJ40]

If you're home for the Saturday after Thanksgiving and would like to join Heather, Lily and I for some Christmas Tree hunting in the western NC421 area, please join us.

We'll find a tree farm, cut 'em down, take a lot of pictures, and have some fun!

[custyota]

Where are you guys going to look for trees? This sounds fun.

 

[shellb]

Sounds awesome Brian! Depending on how Cin's online store launches we might be in!?!

 

[GarnerFJ40]

Somewhere between Winston-Salem and Boone....

 

[S4Cruiser]

I've heard really good things about this place - Mistletoe Meadows - Fraser Fir Trees, NC Choose and Cut They are very pet friendly too!!

 

[GarnerFJ40]

OK, place has been chosen....

 

[S4Cruiser]

What place - mine or another? I could care less...

 

[GarnerFJ40]

Yep, your post...
All I needed was a recommendation, I had a few ideas, but wasn't leaning towards any specific one.

 

[custyota]

So whats the plan....

This sounds like fun.... Whats the tenative schedule? Since I'm comming from Havelock I might stay fri or sat in a hotel. Then go xmas shopping in a real mall since we dont have one here.

 

[addicted56]

Great idea. Loving that this club is continuing to move forward with new rides and ideas. Good thing we are not there still. I dont' think Deirdre could wait that long after Thanksgiving to get here tree Hahaha...she is crazy about Christmas.

Make sure someone brings a Camera and takes some pictures.

 

[custyota]

so...

sorry to be a pain... traveling for tday and was wondering what the game plan was for this tree trip?

thanks

 

[GarnerFJ40]

Well for us it would be about a 3.5 hour drive to the farm, so we'll leave at about 8am from Garner and get there at around noon? I'd really like to take the 40 and get some good photos, but I'm leary on drive, especially the grade in a few sections...

We could go into Boone for some lunch, then leave there for the farm, cut down some trees, take some pictures and head out by 5 or so?

Who else is down with going?

 

[Mtbcoach]

Makes sense Brian, we are still on the fence. We have had tradition since we lived here but no reason we can't modify it. I've just got to negotiate with the family and visiting in-laws...

 

[GarnerFJ40]

I know, we're trying to start some traditions since Lily's at the age to start remembering them, and before the new one comes!

We've just been going with the flow for awhile, and need to break out onto our own!

If I see you, I'll give you some cash!

 

[custyota]

i'm out.....

Sorry guys I'm out I get to work an extra shift on fri so a early drive for trees is out. Sorry and have a great time!

 

[Mtbcoach]

We are out also. Once all the tasks were laid out, it's better to stay local this year.

I think it's a great idea and something to consider next year...
