SILVER Star
SMC will be having another Skyline Ride coming up in February. This will be the first DixieLand Cruisers ride of 2009!
Please make plans to attend.
I know several of us were planning to make the ride earlier this month, but couldn't make it at the last minute. BamaBleach and Mt. Dew have hosted this ride for several years now and I hear they put on one heck of a trip. The trails are for all levels, so there will be enough fun to go around for everyone!
I hope you can make it.
For more information,
GO HERE
If you are planning to attend the ride, send a PM to BamaBleach and let him know.
I look forward to seeing you there!

Hey everyone,
I'm once again planning a ride at the Skyline WMA for the 3rd Saturday in February. This is the third straight year I've done this and I'm already working on some ideas for how to make this one bigger and better.
The founding members of the Smokey Mountain Cruisers introduced themselves at Skyline 2008 and this year some of you will get your first look at the newly formed Alabama Chapter of the TLCA: the DixieLand Cruisers! Werd (from IH8mud.com) is the contact for DLC and he's going to coordinate with some of the other chapters to see if they're interested in coming.
There is no registration fee for this event!
*************************the details*************************
Meeting Place:
Thackerson's Gas Station @ Skyline
Address:
11 AL Highway 146
Scottsboro, AL 35768
I think this will be the best place for everyone to meet up. There's a parking lot across the street from the store that should allow enough room for everyone to park until all parties arive. Plus everyone can fill up on gas and snacks before we head out. If you plan to trailer your rig please PM me so I can give you details about where to park your truck and trailer.
Everyone should be able to get directions by using the address for the store listed above.
Meeting Time:
Everyone try to make it by 8:00 AM CST. We probably won't leave out for the trail until 8:30 or so in case people run late. Could be hard to estimate the time correctly with the trip some will be making.
NOTICE: Unless you have Cingular cell service you probably won't get much of a signal once you get on top of Skyline Mountain. I've got Verizon and it's hit or miss (mostly miss).
If I don't have your contact info (phone # / email) please send me a PM with that information so I can get in touch with you if plans change.
Details are still be working out for those looking for overnight stay and this post will be updated as info comes in.
Ground Rules:
Since this is a WMA there are some rules that we all need to take into consideration.
(1) Alcohol is strictly prohibited inside the WMA.
(2) No firearms
Also print out this map and put your sig on it. This will be your permit for the WMA. Just keep it in your glovebox.

*****************************Lodging Info********************************************
We have gotten a group rate at the Jameson Inns in Scottsboro. The SMC rate will be $62.99 a night. You will need to call the hotel for your reservations and ask for the "SMC Rate, their direct number is 256-574-6666. It is located between Ruby Tuesday's & Geno's Pizza, both are SMC favorites.
*****************************Camping Info********************************************
For those of you that would like to camp, Mt. Dew and BamaBleach are allowing us to camp on their property. Their property is located right off HWY 79 on Country Road 143 and is approx. 4 miles to the South of the ride meeting point. You can use MapQuest or MSN maps to get directions, however I DID NOT have luck with Google maps.
The address is:
765 County Road 143
Scottsboro, AL 35768
If you are planning to attend this event, please complete the Skyline Ride Survey located in the DixieLand PRIVATE forum. We need to get a head count of how many to expect.
I have also posted a map of the location in post #21 of this thread.
