About this event
“Backroads to Buckhorn 08”
Last year our destination was Buckhorn Lake State Resort Park. If you joined us for that trip you already know the route takes us through some beautiful countryside including a final leg out of Lexington for a long stretch of remarkable roads through the Daniel Boone National Forest! Why mess with success? We’re returning to Buckhorn this year on OCTOBER 4th.
Just like last year, our group will include Bluegrassers and our Buckeye folk so this is a great opportunity to renew acquaintances and make some new ones.
We’ve arranged for the Lodge to hold 34 rooms for us until September 4 at a VERY GOOD RATE under “BMW club”. That’s up a few from last year and almost the entire lodge. Those rooms are “first come first served” and you will need to make your own reservations to secure them. These are the only remaining rooms at the lodge and they will go fast so don’t wait! If you miss out on the lodge reservations all is not lost. There are additional rooms available in nearby Hazard.
Here’s what we’ve got planned:
Saturday Morning - Continental breakfast at our respective starting points before setting out for our rendezvous in Lexington
Saturday Noon - Lunch served in Lexington at our rendezvous point
Along the way - “sag” stops with water, soft drinks and light snacks
Saturday Evening - Dinner at the Lodge. Our rotund silver friend will be there too. (Dinner tickets must be purchased from the Lodge at time of check-in)
Saturday Night - swap stories / tell lies till??
Put this on your calendar and make your reservations now! You don’t want to miss this trip!
