Hi! We're pretty close to a lot of you! Please join us!! Note - we've changed the start time to 10:30 - any better?
How about the windiest twisty roads you can imagine, the scenic splendor of our Appalachian mountains, authentic country life on the roads less travelled, and the crisp beauty of fall leaf color? - -
WHEN: Saturday, Oct 23, 2004 WHERE: Sugar Grove, NC (About 12 miles West of Boone)
TENTATIVE PLAN (Any and all ideas welcome!): We'll meet up at the Historic Cove Creek High School (home of the Doc & Merle Watson Folk Music Museum; see www.CoveCreek.net for map and info) at about 10:30 on the 23rd; start with a little bluegrass. I'll have some Doc Watson CDs for folks to play while on the drive so that you can feel in character! Then, up & around George's Gap Road and other twisties to the backside of Beech Mountain, down the front side of Beech to Banner Elk and a yummy lunch, then perhaps to Grandfather Mountain & the Mile-High Swinging Bridge, then possibly down the Blue Ridge Parkway to at least the Linville Viaduct. If you want to stay in the area on Friday night, I'll put as many as possible up at my place or can find you a really neat bed & breakfast! We do have motels too! - -
What do you think? Please let me know if you can make it! CONTACT me with any questions, comments, etc!

Hiya, MountainGal! How far from The Dragon (Robbinsville, NC) is this Rally you're planning? Some of us will be there the weekend of Oct. 23! Maybe we could meet up with y'all! See the "Fall of the Dragon" thread in the National Events forum here on NAM. PM me, if you'd like....
Sorry, folks. Have had to cancel this. I've had weeks of computer issues now - virus infection, unresolved problems in replacing equipment - don't exactly know how to get it all to work again. Big problem with both internet access & email, only partially resolved.
Our Rally start point was usurped. A large community farm heritage fair at the old Cove Creek School was rescheduled to this Saturday, the 23rd, due to Ivan's visit here. No place to meet, and the area will be crawling with tourists. Am so very disappointed and sorry. - -
