Everyone had a great time even though we thought winter was coming early. We had a GREAT bean supper on Friday night and then on Saturday everyone enjoyed a fantastic steak with baked potato, salad, baked beans and the best homemade desserts on this side of the Mississippi. Besides great food, we also had great fellowship with fellow goldwingers. We had chapters looking and searching for WOOD at the Roan and some were successful and others went home empty handed. The most popular place during Steakout was next to the potato cookereveryone was trying to capture some of the heat that was escaping from the cooker. Chapter "C" did a fantastic job as usual. There is no way that this event could be successful, if not for all of Chapter C's hard work. Ding A Ling CONNIE PENDLETON WAS AWARDED THE DING-A-LING AWARD. I WAS TRYING TO READ A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE AND WAS HAVING ISSUES SEEING THE PAPER. I ASKED RICHARD IF HE HAD SEEN MY READING GLASSES AND HE REPLIED, YES, I HAVE - YOU HAVE TWO PAIR ON THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD.

We began the first week of the month traveling to Chapter L (Lebanon) in an attempt to the capture the COY Plaque; however, Chapter N (Jackson) drew the winning ticket number. With fate in our corner, Chapter N’s monthly meeting was that same evening, so we said our goodbyes and headed to Jackson. We had dinner and good fellowship with Chapter N, but failed to have the winning ticket number; Chapter M (Lenoir City) captured the plaque. The second week of the month, we headed to Lenoir City to once again try and capture the COY Plaque. As the ole saying goes, “Third time’s a charm!” Our persistence paid off, as we proudly carried the COY plaque to Chapter C, with only three days until our ‘Steakout’ in Roan Mountain. Our ‘Steakout’ was great! The weather was cold and damp for a while, but the camaraderie between Goldwing friends was warm and welcoming. Although we could not be there for the bean supper on Friday evening (our granddaughter graduated in Knoxville), we thoroughly enjoyed the activities and steak dinner on Saturday. Roan Mountain State Park is such a beautiful place and Chapter C is very fortunate to be able to share its beauty with our Goldwing “family”. Hope many of you got to ride through the mountains with Lawrence Roberts. He has lived in Roan Mountain “forever” and is truly a book of knowledge and loads of fun! If you haven’t made the Saturday morning ‘Steakout’ ride with him, pencil it in for next year! 2 . . . . .. We hope that your summer will be filled with blue skies and lots of smiles, as you travel the highways accumulating those treasured Goldwing miles!
