I would hate for this not to come off, Are there other possible locations? Maybe a different campground not run by the park service? Or maybe a cheap hotel that would let us congregrate and have a cookout onsite? I figure if they are accustomed to hosting bikers they could tolerate a bunch of rotorheads,

Just thinking out loud to try to come up with alternatives, suggestions?

Sheryl said we will bring the bolt cutters and open smokemont so we can have our event
We will be down, open or not! We would like to see everyone and we need a break from the new garage project
We should have 2 fb local friends with us if all goes as planned.

oh, there is still plenty to do in the area and the roads are open... the trick is getting somewhere to stay that can support the number of people we have on such short notice...

Anyone is welcome to camp in my yard. I'll even pick up all the dog poop and make sure you stay drunk. I plan on being at this in some capacity, and will probably be hanging for longer than my usual flaky self. :-)

Beer is brewing so it will be nice and fresh!

I wish we knew a place to meet/stay.

Maybe we can move it to Rays yard? What do you say Ray? You have an outhouse around there still don't you?

FOUND A CAMP SITE!!

Flaming Arrow camp ground... 5 miles from the end of the parkway...

Group Camping near Cherokee, NC at Flaming Arrow Campground

the picture on that page is the area that we will be in... Jonie recommends air mattresses and prefers cans over bottles... biggest thing, like always, be respectful of the area, throw trash away... no cans nor plastic nor bottles in the fire...

camp ground does have wifi and power and hot showers...

So this is from Joni...

Directions from the Blue Ridge Parkway:
Turn Left at the end of the Blue Ridge which is Hwy. 441 South.
When you get to Cherokee, continue following 441S through town
(don't take 441 Business). When you come to a sign that says you are leaving the
Cherokee Reservation, (McDonalds on your left) continue South 1 mile and the
campground entrance is on the left. (Don't turn into the little motel---our big
arrow points up the road to the campground.)
