Drive up I-75 to Atlanta and then keep going north on GA 400 to Dahlonega. From there, start going up hill. Somewhere between Woody Gap and Wolfpen Gap Chris Lacher's family has a rambling old place on 25 wooded acres. I got to spend a few days up there on two different occasions in 1995. The first time was in June with Chris and Kathy Lacher; Mark Purvis; Marv and Myriam Rubenstein; and Charlie and Patty McBride.

The place, pictured at the top, is actually called BuckSnort. It's conveniently located at mile 75 of the imfamous "6 Gap" Century - generally considered the hardest century east of the Mississippi. I was back up there for the ride in October, 1995, with Dave Anderson who can be seen chatting with Charlie McBride on the porch. A few minutes later John Flynn was relaxing on the porch with Patty McBride, Chris Lacher and Mark Purvis. After the ride, I saw John again and Sharon Kelly and KC Glymph. in the parking lot. Finally, Randall Smith shows what he thinks of the 6 mountain climbs to Bert Voorting and Patty McBride.
