Default KY Rt 77 to Red River Gorge - Aug 13-16

I've put a drive together for August 13-16 to drive KY Route 77 to Red River Gorge. If you have never heard about this road, be prepared for some challenges (a one lane tunnel anyone?) and lots of curves. Not as challenging as the Dragon but just as much fun. Details of the area and the drive are below. Let me know if you're interested by posting below.

Hotel Information:
Lil Abners Motel
1000 Natural Bridge Rd,
Slade, KY 40376
Rate $75/night
Registration Code for the special motel rate: Honda Rt 77 Drive
Event Registration is HERE and FREE!

Phone: (606) 663-5384

I got a big smile when I read this. Sometimes you don't know how good you got it. Our national MGA meet this year is in Colorado Spring CO. For me that is a 3,000 mile round trip, their banquet prices are $70 each, and its in June when there is good chance of violent storms with flooding and hail in the area according to a Denver MGA owner. Yes, I am passing up that event. Lil Abners is sounding better all the time.
