Does any one have a idea of how many folks are going to show up?

How many 928's do we have planned to go at this point?

I tried to book online, but will have to call United; their online booking does not accept the ticket voucher they gave me in Dallas, when my return flight from OCIC was overbooked...

Who else is in or coming from Charlotte? It looks like I'd have to fly into Charlotte on Thursday, arriving late and staying there for the night, before I'd head into the mountains. Similarly, I'd probably have to stay a night before flying out. That might give me a bit of time to see the city.

When do you guys expect to get there, and will you all leave on Sunday?

I have a room with an extra bed if you want to crash there. just me and the wife that weekend....

Nicole,
IIRC Ashville is only an hour or so from Banner Elk, I'm on vacation and there all week, I could swing down Thu or Fri and pick you up
I only have a single room though

Every year I've gone it's been close to 100 or just a shade over.

Found this rather large map of the Cherohala Skyway. Getting excited!

I heard Eastern TN was not affect (much). I checked the road conditions for the Cherohala Skyway, and they reported all was open.

Whoo Hoo!

Default 928 Parking lot manners

That would be cool!

We could setup some sort of informal protocol like please back your car in lining it up as best you can with the one next to you and don’t park next to one the same color. Also, if you didn’t get to drive in a 928, please park out front by the lobby.

That could make for some interesting photos kind of like this, but only better.

Just a friendly suggestion.
