if there's only 4 bikes to be towed, we could forego the trailer and just load up my truck and dwight's.
it might work out to be about teh same $ in gas as for that trailer and would give us some flexibility/leg room. just throwing it out there. |

The trailer is 150 for the 15th to the 19th and we really need to finalize things so we are not doing last minute decisions. |

I see a few places to stay have come up but is there a final one yet. i have never been there yet. about how many miles is the drive. i know to Asheville it is about a 8 hour drive.
off topic but is there a way to stay lodged in when i come to the site. |

dwight; nevermind. will you accept a paypal transfer for my portion of the trailer deposit?
matt; it looks to be over 500 mi from here to suches, Ga.
and, nope. it's kinda annoying, huh? |

yes matt Paypal will work fine my email is djhllwy@yahoo.com if anybody else wants to do the same that will work. Enota Mountain resort is where we will be staying. here is google map of the route http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=N orfolk,+VA&daddr=enota+mountain+resort&geocode=%3B FT-TEwIdNcQB-yHMjTebQyLceQ&abauth=320fe885:9J9IUIs VQzHn1gpYtVfweAMfphY&hl=en&mra=ls&vps=2&ei=bWQUTvy dF4SgygSgrLDlBw&jsv=353b&sll=34.83946,-83.71862&ss pn=0.062697,0.108147&num=10
the next question is what is the earliest you guys are willing to get up to leave mind you you guys can sleep on the way down if we leave early and catch up on lost sleep I would like to leave early just to account for stops and having time to set up camp and not be rushed to setup before night fall. we can load bikes thursday afternoon and toss our gear in the back of truck friday before we head out. I will bring my tarp (to cover our gear in case it rains), grill, cooking utensils, gas can. if you can think of anything else we should bring post it. thanks to everyone for joining in on the trip it should be a very fun weekend. |

Ok I looked at the website and gave them a call they have sites available, and the two sites are one with out water and electric which would be 33.00 per person for the whole trip, or one with electric and water for 41.00 person they have a bath house on site and it is clean from what photos show and reviews say, also they serve breakfast everyday have a tv room with over 200 channels swimming is allowed in there many streams and waterfalls playgrounds with trampolines for adults and children, and fire pits on the campsite. so please let me know which one you would like to do and paypal will work so you can just send the money via paypal and I will pay for everything and post up a copy of all receipts.

I would like to leave around 9:00 am so that we can have plenty of time to stop grab lunch and dinner and still have time to setup camp. let me know if that is good and I think meeting at Matts place would be best let me know what you think. |

i think loading up the day before is a good idea, but this could maybe be a problem: how is everybody gonna get to my place if their bike is allready loaded up?
and when are we coming back? |

I have a tent and air mattress that i will be bring to sleep in. I was looking to see about droping my things off thursday night but my wife works at 6am so i will need my bike to get there friday morning. i was thinking if i got there about 7am i might be able to load my bike then. I dont have any propane i have always just started a fire to cook on. |

i got gas. and propane, too!
and fire sticks, cast iron griddle and pan, metal utensils, pokers, s'mores sticks, pretty much everything to cook on a campfire or stove.
there is plenty of firewood across the street from me as the city still hasn't cleaned up from the tornado.
a propane stove would be great for breakfast (super quick, and controllable heat)
THIS JUST IN
my wife has volunteered to be the camp chef for the weekend. we buy the food, she serves it up piping hot.
in the last 8 years i've consistetnly gotten fatter; if that's an indication of her cooking skillzzzz |

i got a 12v air mattress pump to bring and lend, the manual ones are a pain ...
and unless you wanna volunteer to pack us in your suburban (does it have a second back seat?) ; the wife was gonna give chase in the minivan.
with my luck/history i wouldn't even make it out of VA before the LEO's ticket me for improper child restraints |

LMAO! ROF!!
If you need your bike to get there in the morning that is fine just show up a little early, thursday bring gear to nillas so we can load it in the back of the truck. one less thing to do friday morning, leaving at 8:00 will give 15 minute wait time if you call to say you will be late but please try to be there on time.
