no, but it's worthwhile letting Jerry know you're coming... see red text below.

from Da Bunny on Da Beeg:

Two days to go!

The longest continually-held Internet BMW Riders' event is back for a
seventeenth year. The Ride To Savannah will be held from Friday,
December 2nd through Sunday, December 4th on Tybee Island, Georgia.

are our special rates, but you have to mention BMW RIDERS to get them:

RATES:
49.95 Front
39.95 Back
59.95 Kitchenette
75.00 Jacuzzi

LOCATION:
The Dunes Inn & Suites

www.DunesInn.com

RESERVATIONS PHONE NUMBER: (912) 786-4591

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, so 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".

There is a change to this year's venue. The City of Tybee pulled rank
and let the Art Association have the cafeteria where we usually have our
Low Country Boil.

We do have reservations to use the Memorial Park Pavilion. It's located
behind Tybee Island City Hall (403 Butler) between 4th and 5th Streets
(the new location is in the same block as the cafeteria, just to the
north side). While it is lighted, it's not enclosed so we need to move
the eating time up to have daylight and warmer breezes. We plan on
serving the Low Country Boil between 3 and 4pm this year. Since the cook
does this for free, patience is suggested. Don't fill up at lunch...
leave room for the shrimp and fixins.

As always, Jerry Duke will be wandering around the Dunes Inn parking lot
Saturday morning so find him if you have any questions.

hopefully you can see the FB page... there's a pic album there, a smuggy later.

I do not have or want face book so i could not see the group.

Felt bad I had to miss this ,My wife had to make a short notice flight to Detroit to take care of her Mom, so i got airport drive, and pick up duty.

Rode up to Tybee Island Friday and met many of the folks that attended last year. We renewed acquaintances, shared stories at Stingrays Grill & Bar, and made plans for riding Saturday. I got up somewhat late, walked over to the Sunrise Cafe for breakfast and headed out to The Mighty Eighth Museum. I have not stopped to visit the Museum before but was glad that I took the time Saturday. The museum is privately funded and chronicles the history of the Eighth from its inception in Savannah in WWII through Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, up to the present. For Military Veterans and History buffs this is a must see museum. Be prepared to spend 4 to 5 hours and do not overlook the grounds where mememorials to those that gave all are spaced along a reflecting pool, fastened to ivied brick walls, and placed in fitting tribute to our veterans past and present. Many trees have been planted in memory of loved ones lost and a small Chapel built to resemble those found in the English Countryside has stained glass windows that are quite beautiful. These windows document and celebrate the contributions of The Mighty Eighth to the Allied Victory in WWII. A B-17 is being restored before visitors eyes in the center of the main building. Workers from Gulfstream Aviation have donated thousands of hours restoring this famous aircraft and many more thousands of hours will be needed before the job is completed. The varied contents of the museum uniforms, dog tags, archival films/videos, photos', personal belongings, models, etc are testimony to the sacrifices made for our country. One of my uncles was a B-24 waist gunner in the Ploesti Oil bombing raid and completed 16 missions over Europe. He has passed on now but I'm left with the feeling that I should have got to know him better after seeing the museum.
The low country boil was held outside under a Pavilion this year. The food, home brewed beer, and camraderie was the perfect ending to a great day, my thanks and congratulations to the IBMWR and all those who make this such a great Rally.

oh, you horribly deprived person!

Here is an album of pics...

Maybe depraved, not deprived

Thanks for the pictures though, nice looking group, food looked delicious

Savannah in the rain

Barbie, Sugah and I left Savannah in the rain around 9:00 AM on Sunday. Great time; but Sugah did not like the big cannon at Ft. Pulaski.

The boil

We had the use of a large outdoor pavilion. Lots of great folks and good food. did i mention that John had a vew gallons of his home brewed beer?

Sugah loves to ride

She even has her own jacket.

and her own driving lights....

On the ferry

We are almost home. Sugah knows when she boards the ferry that her toys and bed are almost within reach. Life on the island is so stressful.

That is one great picture !

My "best friend" is an old Lab named Lucy. The terrier belongs to Barbie; but I give off more body heat so I get the duty of holding the shivering pooch.

Food

Likewise, I also had a great time at my first IBMWR Low Country Shrimp Boil.
