no...i did enough camping in places like afghan...id like a solid roof over my head and a proper bed

 

Please...NO PICTURES!

 

Bryson City is where the Ice Cream Run takes place on Saturday. Not to worry about bringing any stogies...it's MY party [aka Cigar Salon Wed. after the Welcome Dinner], so I'll supply them ALL!

 

Thanks guys, at least the vinyl wrap turned out nice for the shop truck!

 

Anybody know any details on the campground at the base of the dam?

I will be rolling out of Denver Friday after work, staying a night in Clarksville TN (Ft. Campbell) and heading to Fontana sometime the next day...
Problem is, the CO./Chicago Derivative wont be there until Tuesday. So its looking like a couple nights in a tent for me. Which is great, going to be short on tent time without the Jeep, until I can find some wheelchair (not much clearance) accessible camping areas in the mountains.

 

Tapoco is an oldtime summer retreat from the 1920s or thereabouts. They closed down a few years back and have reopened with new furnishings and higher prices. The nice thing about Tapoco is that they are THE start/end of Tail of the Dragon on US 129 North/South [depending on the direction you are driving]. A lot of people think of Deals Gap as the start/end but that is not so...there are still another coupla miles down US 129 to reach the end/start. Deals Gap just represents the jog onto Highway 28 [aka Hellbender] and on to Fontana.

BTW, WELCONE TO M/A!!

 

During MSSD (fall Dragon event) this year I stayed in Bryson city for a couple of nights. Probably a 30 minute jaunt from there to Fontana, the ride in is one of my favorites.

 

^^^^ we have a pool going and the would be tampering. :lol:

 

Have cabin looking for (6 to 10) 21+ good looking single ladies that are open to having a fun time & drinking. :crazy::devil::ihih:

All old men with Viagra prescriptions. :lol:

 

We have a room with a queen bed in our cabin at Fontana If anyone is in need of lodging. We're not hard core partiers per se, but we definitely don't support prohibition either. :beer

 

My condolences, Joe.

 

Oops...all I had to do was to read thru your paragraph. Offer still stands, though. Check out is Friday.

 

Hmm... Interesting... My small tent is 6'X3' and subdued...

 

Extremely subdued if I bring a ghillie tarp.,,

 

I want to find out who effing Fontana rented my cabin to before I even had a chance to reserve it for this year. :incazzato::mad5:

I always reserve the same cabin at check out and the front desk they said it was already reserved for 2015 to someone else. ( WTF Pissed off)

FONTANA has always let the people stay in the cabin reserve it for the next year first.

I will be getting our old cabin back for MOTD 14 (2016)

 

Oh we still have the girls cabin and this years will be right behind our real cabin 3rd up the hill on the right.

I forget the exact number and I am not getting up to go to my office and look at the paperwork.

 

No that guy is ok and he is very quite. It's like having "sling blade" above you.

Plus it's not his fault it's Fontanas issue.

 

Try Tapoco Lodge, not the cheapest but NICE!

Thats where most of the Colorado people will be headquartered this year.
