Look up hotels in the Byson City area, as that's pretty close to the lodge. Never stayed there, but I hear a lot of folks have stayed at the Microtel in Bryson and say it's decent.

try the microtel

There are other places not on the list, but there are several options on the DGRR page.

Watershed has some really nice Cabins and really close to the Lodge

as mentioned but not cheap.

Its been several years but, I think I got the small 1 bed room Cabin there for about the same or a little less than my room at the lodge. It was very nice with a hot tube on the back deck. The bad was that the road to get there is half dirt and got pretty muddy. Also, I just like being at the lodge.... The hub of the event you know

Reminder to anyone interested that online registration ends on the 31st (tomorrow). After the 1st you will have to register in person at the event, and tshirts will not be guaranteed.

extended through April 2nd at midnight PST.

Is there an itinerary of events? It doesn't look like the web page has been updated? I missed registration unfortunately but I'm booked up the street from Nantahala Village. Won't get there till Friday AM.

no go look for good looking old bald guy with the blue Rx3 from Connecticut

I will be there in my new black RX-8 daily driver :). Stoked about it!

If you see a 6'6" guy wandering around, that's me, come say hi!

Dale

Hey Dale,
I’ll be in a light blue Rx3 from Conn with my brother Nick with a darker blue Rx3 from NC you can’t miss us. Can’t wait to meet everyone. This is my first time going. I am driving over 800 mile in my Rx3 to have a good time. Have a safe trip.

Those wheels look amazing Carlos!! Cant wait!!!

Dale in an rx8???? WHAT??

Dale NOT driving his FD sounds almost as crazy as me not driving my FC!

As long as he models T shirts for us on Saturday, all is well!! lol

We are getting closer!! I cant wait !!

I'm getting pretty excited about it too. Completely off topic, but I spied a speeding and loud blue rx3 heading north on 68 in high point going past festival park around 6:30 on Thurs. Anyone around here? :lol:

Strange?? I wonder who that could be???

Sounded pretty good i hope??

You should have flagged me down brotha!! lol

All you guys talking about Dale not in an FD like it's crazy. The first (and maybe only?) time I met Dale, he was solidly an FC guy. Yes, this was a long time ago!

Yeah, I knew Dale as an FC guy from way back in the TeamFC3S list server days, but I didn't meet him in person until DGRR 2010 and by then he was into FD's. So I'm ancient too!

Even people my own age look at me like I'm speaking a foreign language when I talk about email list servers. I joined the Team FC3S one back in 1999 at age 17.

2010 was my first yr at DGRR, so i too only know him as an FD guy.

Heck yea it sounded good, even the guy working for me (who is a racing/car guy) said it sounded nice.
