Don't forget the beer

Last year, John Barry brought several of his own special home brewed beers for us to enjoy. There was none left.

Jerry Duke is the organizer and does a great job with this.

Last year was my first time going and this year Barbie is going with me.

These are great rates and the location is a wonderful place to be in December. No crowds; just the beautiful low country to ride and enjoy.
 
This is a good event and the boil last year was a lot of fun.

For those who haven't seen Civil War era cannon demonstrated, the events at the nearby fort are a recommended entertainment.

And there is always downtown Savannah, etc.

For those of you who have had enough of the low quality farm raised Vietnamese shrimp sold by Red Lobster, WalMart, etc- this is a good chance to pig out on local wild caught stuff.

Jerry, Becky and I are going. She'll have her R1100S and I probably be on my RT unless I bring the K1200RS instead.

For those of us who prefer not to be on Facebook, please post the Friday and Sat might events/times/prices when you can. About the same as last year or something different?

Friday night we'll gather at StingRay's Grille and Bar next door to The Dunes.
We're hoping to have a ride Saturday, but nothing set for sure right now.
We have a Facebook page, IBMWR Low Country Boil
Join us there and get up to date info.
Saturday downtown Savannah will be decorated for the season and will also be First Saturday on the Riverfront.
http://www.riverstreetsavannah.com/
And also City Market - http://www.savannahcitymarket.com/ - nice place to take a carriage ride.
And you can always just wander around historic downtown Savannah. Plenty to see and do.
Other places to visit:
http://www.mightyeighth.org/ - Mighty 8th Air Force - museum about the 8th Air Force from WWII
http://www.nps.gov/fopu/index.htm - Fort Pulaski - historic fort on the way to Tybee
http://tybeelighthouse.org/ - Lighthouses? We got one! Care to count the steps?
http://www.thecrabshack.com/ - want to eat among 'gators'? Don't eat too much, save some room for OUR "Boil".

But what ever you do, be sure and get back in time to gather at the Tybee Gym for the LOW COUNTRY BOIL.
We should have the table setup about 5 pm for sitting and talking so many of you can reconnect with past and future friends.
The "Boil" will be served about 6 - 7 pm. Since the cook does this for free, patience is suggested.
 
Swap meet too

I forgot to mention that anyone who has gear/parts is welcome to bring them to the boil on Saturday night. There will be a table to display the stuff you want to sell/swap.
 
This just in from Jerry Duke

Jerry Duke
We've run into our first problem....
The Tybee Island Arts Festival pulled rank and took over the cafeteria.
Plan B.
We now have the Memorial Park Pavilion. Because it's basically a covered patio, we need to move the Boil up a few hours so we have plenty of daylight. The Pavilion is lighted, but just to be safe....
Anyway, so now the meal will be served about 4 pm.
The new location is the Tybee Island Memorial Park Pavilion, behind City Hall (facing Butler), between 4th and 5th.

Please spread the word.
 
NE ATLANTA RIDERS to Savannah

Any body leaving from NE Atlanta, Lawrenceville area to Savannah on Friday????
 
Almost ready

Barbie actually got all of her clothes for the weekend stuffed into one pannier. We are headed out for the SC low country today. There is a street faire in Walterboro, SC tonight and we want to spend some time with our old roomie who now lives there.

We will see everyone for lunch Friday.

Ride with caution; remember the roads are full of distracted people who now have one more thing on their minds...holiday shopping.
 
heading down on Saturday morning. will get there just ahead of the eats.... :eat

Jerry, I am planning on riding my silver R1150GS with Jesse boxes.... there is an outside chance I'll ride my HP2e.

So let's be sure to meet and talk!

Ian
