1.  I can't seem to find Moonshine on a map, is it real?

Yes, it is!  Most GPS units will get you close to Moonshine but even they will be about 1 mile off.  The easiest way is to come to the Comfort Inn, on Saturday, or Terry's house and be escorted down to Moonshine the first time.  You can be like the original Moonshine Lunch Run guest "Blue Moon" and ride on every gravel road down there looking for Moonshine instead of riding on the hard roads.

 

2.  Can Helen & Roy Tuttle the owners really cook enough Moonburgers for this growing crowd?

Yes, they can!  This is their most favorite and looked forward to event the whole year.  A ton of work is involved for them and many locals pitch in to help them, but they love every and all the bikers that show up each year.  They almost get misty eyed when they talk about the great group that shows up each year.  Locals have even offered to fire up additional grills at Moonshine if the need arises.  Last year we started sending people down to Moonshine at about 8:30 or so to help.  People said they got there Moonburger less than 1 minute after ordering!

 

3.  Is there an "Entry Fee" to register and participate?

NO! Never has and never will be on my watch!  This was started as a wacky way to get together and charging would only screw that up!  I am just glad to have you as a guest.  Donations are accepted to help with the cost, but every left over penny is donated to charity.  You can look at the history page and see where the money has gone in the past.

 

4.  You having Moonshine T-Shirts for sale again?

Yes, I will!  If you are interested, make sure when you sign up to click on what sizes and how many you would like.  This helps us get an idea on how many to order this year.  All money over the cost of the T-shirts will once again be donated to charity.  You can look at the history page and see where the money has gone in the past.  I (Jody) hope to get Terry started earlier someday so you can order your t-shirt before the event and show up wearing it.

 

5.  Is the "Sweet Roll Lady" going to be there again?

Yes, she will be baking again.  Renee Honselman has donate her time in the past to make sweet rolls for breakfast on Saturday morning.  The money she collected has went to the Willow Creek Mission Fund in the past.  She knows it is a great cause and it is her way in helping them and feeding us.

 

6.  What does this money from the T-Shirts/Sweet Rolls/Donations go towards?

In the past, the money was sent to a former local person who now lives in Tucson through Willow Creek Church.  He had been doing Mission work at an Orphanage and surrounding area in Imuris, Mexico for over 10 years.  Many local people from here every year spend there own $$$ and go down to Mexico and help Build/repair/fix/install and just help out.  Currently, we aren't sure if the mission work will be continuing.  We are looking in to other options.

 

7.  Why do we need to sign up to eat a Moonburger on Saturday or eat a Richards Farm Friday?

Helen and Roy Tuttle want to know how many Buns/Chips/Sodas/Hamburgers/Klondike bars to order.  Those that have been there before know how small a place it is and the only way we pulled it off each year is knowing how many are planning to come.  The same goes for Thursday at my house and Richards Farm.  It just gives me an idea on what to get ready for, but the more the better.

 

8.  Why do you want to know my E-mail address/City/State/Name/Internet handle/ and miles from Moonshine when I sign up?

E-mail, so it makes it easier to contact you.  These e-mails will never be used for anything but this wacky Moonshine Lunch Run.  You have my word.  If you are uncomfortable about adding your e-mail, just leave it off.  City and State?  Just curious is all.  It is fun to see where everyone is from.  Name/Internet name?  You would be amazed at how many people only know someone as the internet name or real name, but not both.  One year, I had a person sign up on "The List" as "Rocket Launcher" and sign in as Frank Smith.  I had no idea who Frank Smith was, until he said his internet name!

 

9.  Are there going to be Door Prizes You ask?

Yes, there Are!  I know , at least, the top 5 guys on riding the farthest will win something.  Things are normally donated each year to give out.  These will be given away for wacky things we think of later. 

 

10.  Why have this in April?

Well, I farm for 1 reason.  Farming runs all the way up through June.  Then, I am ready to head off to the Blue Ridge Parkway like I always do.  Fall would be a good time to have it too, but again faming rules what I can do and when I do it.  But, you know, most seem to like the idea of April! Why?  Many have all been setting around for months not able to ride.  For months before Moonshine Run, we can sit and talk about going.  It is the first big blow out of the riding year that many can attend.  We can yak forever about the bad weather we rode through, the tornado's we saw on the way up, the snow we drove through on the way down and the hail that hit us 100 miles away from home!  We really can wear our Moonshine shirts with pride knowing that we are motorcycle riders and not just owners.  We proved it by making the Moonshine Lunch Run!

 

11.  Is the Moonshine Host going to run out of gas on the way to Moonshine this year?

Ummm, well, I hope not.  But, come and witness it first hand and see!

 

12.  If the weather is bad Saturday, will you reschedule?

I would, but I don't know what I would tell all the people that will already be here from Maine, Florida, Arizona and so on.
