    Odd question but, since I'm camping the whole two weeks I took off of work, does anyone have a shower I can rent?

    I'm sure you can use ours, if you promise to clean your scraggly beard hair out of the drain trap. And listen very carefully: NO TAKING A DUMP IN THERE! We have enough problems with the hazardous discharge of the blue-haired wonder, to have to deal with whatever comes out of you. It is I, and I alone, that makes the Helix Hut smell of strawberries.

    Thanks Eric, I'll let you know... And if you're not planting land mines in the woods, you're not camping!

    I hope to make it Saturday for a day trip. If I leave Friday after work, I'll get a room around Waynesville and be there bright and early Saturday. I hope to meet many of you.

    See you there brother! How do we communicate whilst up there to know where the M/A guys are meeting up? Do we exchange numbers? Certain radio channel? Smoke signals?

    Cell service is scarce... They did add wifi to most of the cabins at Fontana, but it clogs something fierce. For the most part we just meet up in our usual hangouts.

    Have you tried the Microtel in Robbinsville, that is where I have stayed for the last six years. Usually about 50 MINIs in the lot. Good place to stay unless you plan on partying a lot then I would not recommend the drive back after the Moonshine party.

    Finally got registered, I will be in area late Thursday, hopefully before check-in closes so I can pick up my reg and shirt. :) Pretty much around all day on Friday/Saturday. Mostly in the vendor area and hanging with some of the folks who will let me hang about. :)

    Probably see you there Don. That's pretty much my plan after Helix does a couple of things on the Mini.

    It'll be nice to see you down there Don! Not sure exactly what I'm going to be doing this year... And I pretty much keep it that way.

    Going to be there a lot earlier than normal, Tuesday or Wednesday. It's probably going to be a short stay too as I've got a graduation to attend later in the week.

    We'll be there Wednesday through Saturday. Learned my lesson last year and scheduled way too much. Really scaled back this year.
