Sequoyah Caverns

My wife uses tripadvisor.com to locate local eateries, and so far we have gotten good places.
Here are the results for LaFayette, but we could use other cities or areas: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g35050-LaFayette_Georgia.html

I got word today that the Pizza Hut in LaFayette has been remodeled inside and out.
I talked to Bobby the manager at Pizza Hut and he is expecting us for lunch after 2pm Eastern time.

GA136 is listed as one of the motorcycle roads for nice scenery and I know LaFayette.

I've traveled through Mentone over the years and it looks like the route I'll be taking to Sequoyah Caverns. I've never stopped there other than the traffic light, but it's been the route to many caves in TAG.
Since this ride is listed on the TVC-SRA website and the SRA Meetup Groups, it would be real confusing to change the town for the lunch this close to the event.

I would consider Mentone for a future ride event. There is a ride to Little River Canyon on August 17th by the TVC-SRA. That is in that area. I hoping to go if I have my Spyder back?

So, We're first meeting at Pizza Hut in La Fayette, GA (405 N Main Street) @ 2:00 PM for lunch and then going to Sequoyah Caverns from there? From there we'll go to Mentone on our way to Sequoyah Caverns. What time do we want to arrive there and still have time to tour the caverns before they close @ 5:00 (6:00 eastern time)? Does this give us enough time for the tour? Do we take a guided tour, & if so, which one? Looks like the cost could be anywhere from $10.95 to $30.00 per person depending upon the number of people in our group, tour chosen and duration. Is the planned lunch time too late to give us suitable time at Sequoyah?

We are meeting at the Sequoyah Caverns parking lot at 10:30 am Central time. We will do the cave tour after everyone gets there. After the cave tour, the group will ride up US11 to Trenton, GA where we will turn onto GA136 and head over to the LaFayette, GA area for lunch.

It has come to my attention that some folks are not pleased with the choice of Pizza Hut for lunch. I was sent a link to trip advisor of other places to eat in the LaFayette area. Link below:

I have also put a request on the TAGNet for cavers to give me some places to eat in the area. I will be posting those suggestions here.

So now, it will be up to everyone to make their own choices as to where they want to eat lunch AFTER the tour of Sequoyah Caverns.

Ah, so I missed some very important information, the initial meet time @ Sequoyah Caverns, which you had in the first message. Thanks for bringing it together.

Hi, John.

Great idea. Think all enjoyed the tour, I know I sure did. The place is much larger than I had thought it would be. I talked to the two senior citizens running it and asked what was going to happen. One said "See that gate up there? We're gonna put a big lock on it." No further plans were mentioned, so I don't have a clue about the future of the place.
Sorry you had to drive your truck, that's a good ride over there. I left early this AM and rode all arouind Jones MT and "The Pocket." Had a great time.

Thanks for organizing the day, it really was super. Pretty good turn out, 20 or more Spyders and a few others too. Good job!

Had a great time today John, thanks for pulling this all together!

When I get my Spyder back, I'm thinking of doing that ride we did today. I was a nice excursion.

I'm glad y'all enjoyed yourselves, as I did too. Good group turn out despite the iffy weather.

[TuckMiddle]

Let me know when you want to go
I love it up there. Lots of great roads

John:

Good job putting this get-together together.

Would like to see more folks take the initiative to do the same. Pick something, announce it and see who shows up.

Thanks! Maybe we can join you next time.

I'm wondering who from GA is going to show up in Birmingham this weekend to ride on the Barber's track for a hour? If my Spyder ain't ready, I ain't going in my truck!

John, I have a room reserved at the Hampton Inn Friday night. I plan to be on the track Saturday.

You might want to start a separate post about Barber. I have family coming out of town, so I will not be able to go.
