I'm not sure what's in Georgia, but I hear there are some fun spots. DirtyBacon says he might be down, and I'm down for early Nov or the tail end of Oct for a short little 2 day/2 night event, if anyone else wants to get in on this post up some ideas. Hope to have something planned solid by the 14th of Oct.

I believe October 26th is the 5th Annual Pinellas Park GMTNation meetup, and Mike would be absolutely devastated if he couldn't go and hang out with 2 lifted mall crawlers and a bunch of tricked out SS's.

Expo had something coming up in GA. Ride across GA or something. Might see if that could work in with your ideas. I know they have some thrads on places in GA at least, that could help your planning.

They are doing mini-planning runs as well. Just got an update from that thread about one they did. Might be some people to at least contact, The few pictures they just posted looked like decent sites to start with.
