TGGRRR (Ali) Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 Sounds like a blast! ill keep my eye out for a place close by to stay..hopefully not everything in the area has been booked already Everything at Fontana Village is booked. Tapoca is not far, I don't know if it's booked. I think the Microtel is booked. I remember last year some people were able to stay around Bryson City when some things really booked up. It is a lot of fun. Those of us repeats actually book our cabins before we leave each year. However, if you go to Motoring Alliance and register for their forums, you can watch the thread for rooms. That's usually the best place. Rooms tend to open up in the last few weeks as people find out they can't go at the last minute. Good luck!!! Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

Scavenger Posted February 11, 2013 Report Posted February 11, 2013 So, who all is planning to drive down on Tuesday? Travelling in a group/caravan can be fun and prevent boredom. I prefer one that doesn't overdo the stops and can make it in one shot. Also, would like to make it to the Spaghetti dinner if possible. 2006 MCS, SB/S , "B.A." Performance: DINAN "Stage 5" tune, throttle body, boost kit (fuel pump, pulley), & CAI; JCW exhaust sans resonator, brakes, & GP IC; DDM IC diverter; CSF Racing Aluminum Radiator Suspension: DINAN front strut brace; Alta 22mm rear bar; KW V1 coil-overs; H-Sport adjustable rear control arms; CravenSpeed strut underators Interior: CravenSpeed gauge mounts with Cooper S boost and voltage, & shift well cover Wheels: Enkei PF01 17" Audio: Kenwood Excelon KDC-X994 HU; MTX Terminator speakers F&B Alan @ opensource.com

LostDenverite Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 Unless I can get out of work a day early, which I doubt, I'm leaving Tue night/Wed morning, hitting the road sometime between 10P Tue and 2A Wed, my reservation is on Wed/1st onward.
Poison Ivy Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 Change again. Due to some unexpected reasons Geno and I will not be going to the dragon after all. We are sad about it, but especially as the possibility of the furlough is looming its the smart thing to do. We still have a reservation at the Microtel in Robbinsville at $76.46/night from Tuesday-Sunday. If anyone wants to take over I can call to have it transferred to you. It's a good insurance while you're waiting for something to open up closer since you can cancel up to 48 hours in advance. PM me if you're interested.

Poison Ivy Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 We got a letter from the Commandant of the Marine Corps. Even last year when we were facing furloughs and it was stopped the night before in the middle of the night he didn't send us a letter. This is different, it's a "cost saving" planned furlough that will cause us to loose 20% of our pay. I don't want to turn this into a sour conversation, but it's worth being prepared.
