i'm going ot look into a few things and see if i can find another location by monday

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?

i've looked into a few other campgrounds... most of them a bit higher in price :( i'm still looking around and seeing what I can figure out...

Not sure if I can make it this year, but I'm working on it. :)

I'm hoping they reopen between now and then. Brewing batch of beer today! Yum!

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

Im coming too, camp ground or no camp ground!!

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?

yeah, i need to call a campground... i was spending hte last few hours installing a transmission after blowing up my new FC on the drive home with it last night... so please bare with me!

I'm going to Brevard Saturday for bike racing, heading north from there Saturday afternoon or night. Got a room at Fontana lodge. Gonna do some driving Sunday morning. Hope to see sommayallsomewhere.

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...

Alright! Games on. $%$# the Feds. I got brew and I'm still up for meeting the OGTA coming up from GA in the Brevard Walmart lot.

so yeah, can i get a quick head count of how many to expect??

1. Tray something rotary???
2. Tim 80 SA RX7

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.)

I guess its just the 2 of us Tray.

Count me in!!!!!!

Glad to see some signs of life. If I'm in the area by 6 or 7 I'll visit the camp, otherwise see ya Sunday morning.

Looks like I'm in guys! :)

Can't wait to see everyone again...

That's awesome!!! look forward to seeing you! now Ray has to come... again..

I'm pulling strings, if Tray can keep that camp ground for the weekend we might have a party.
