Blah! I'm not driving six hours to pay to stay in a cabin...tent tent tent! If you get a cabin rox, let us know, maybe we'll camp in your yard ;-)

I wonder if the vendors will be selling discounted gear? That would be awesome.
Dub

dub, you always get great sales there. They also demonstrate some of the gear. It's really cool. I wish I would have about $2,000 to spend.
Gemini

back on track now guys
Ok, so I'll be arriving late as hell on Friday night, like maybe around midnight, either that or Sat morning.

Binks will be a last resort. We should have some details worked out by then. I'll call the city this week if I have to.
Dub

Roam Around
10:12:53 AM
5/05/04

geez maple, I was just looking and johnson city or knoxville either one have amtrak service

Greenville SC does, I'll be passing thru there, but that would a lot longer ride for you.
Roam Around
10:17:36 AM
5/05/04

If you can get to Greenville I could come get you too. Or Gemini if she could..

Roan if you could in late when you come down the main street there will be sign where the free camping is located. Just set up there and I am sure we all can meet up at binks early on Sat. morning around 9am?

mapleleaf

Or Wilmington, NC and book a room at the beach with Hyway ;)
Hyway
12:21:17 PM

Watch out for hyway...he is still trying to get someone to share a room w/him..
rox1
1:38:02 PM
5/05/04

rox1

Would you prefer Myrtle Beach over Wilmington? Its only an 1 1/2 away and the flight into MB is cheaper. We could use the savings to splurge on an Ocean Front room.
Hyway
2:23:39 PM
5/05/04

are you hoping for a midnite dinner on the beach!!
Oh hyway your more romantic than I thought you were...

Camping
Okay, I have decided that the easiest thing to do is to just camp in town with the thru-hikers. If this is a problem Friday night, then on Saturday we will decide as a group to go to Grayson. Trip page updated.

We will be camping in the Trail Days Campground located off of Shady Ave. South of town. Here is a map. I will make a sign that says "TT" on it and place it near where we are camping.
Dub

thats cool Dub, i was thinking the same thing last night. It's liable to be really crowded though.

We'll manage I'm sure.
Roam Around
8:38:38 AM

If we run out of room and have to move, we'll leave a TT sign up with some information on it.
Dub
8:41:50 AM
5/06/04

If I get there early I will make a sign on an piece of material...w/tters on it.. I should get there early on Friday.
rox1

I'll be arriving late afternoon. Planning on all of my crew playing hooky and leaving out around sunup. I think its about a 12 hour drive.
Roam Around
9:03:14 AM
5/06/04

Rox, just put "TT" on it. I'm going to bring one too, but since you'll be there earlier that would be even better. Do you know if they ran out of room last year?
Dub

The camping
Everyone was packed in but there was room.. We came in near the entrance and just drove the straight road to the right. The tters were set up down on that road on the right. I thought we had a good amount of space to set up our tents.
Dub I don't know if I can just stop with TT I am an artist...will be hard to stop there..
rox1

I can't believe I said thatlast night! That is what too many margaritas will do to you!
Miss Opie
11:47:08 AM
5/06/04

LOL Miss Opie...btw, shouldn't that be Ms. Opie as Miss implies you are under 18...or are you trying to make it look like Opie is into young chicks ;-)

Go ahead and go wild Rox. Just be sure to save enough room for an REI Half Dome. If you have some extra tents you could set them up to take up space and we could take them down as we arrived. My coleman 10 person tent takes up quite a bit of space, lol.

If your sign is creative and cool enough, maybe we could get a new set of T shirts made with the design.

I don't think Matt minds, but we'd give him veto rights of course. And of course it'd be your call too, seeing as how you'd have intellectual property rights to the design.
