So I have a friend who has a cabin here.
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=35.420...,0.110378&z=14
The place is usually $130 a night. I can get it for a week at $750.
From my friend.
"The cabin is 9miles or so east of deals gap off Hwy 28 and on a small lane off of Old Yellowbranch Road. It's along the south shore of Fontana Lake but up 300feet or so above the lake and about a half mile from it. In the trees, near the top of a mountain. My neighbor's an old skool Can-am and Porsche racer from back in the day. He has the corners on his driveway labeled turn one, turn two, etc. Its a neat spot.
Plenty of room for two tow behind type RV's, steep approach so must have a granny gear, no hook ups though. Tents are golden Big fire ring too!
I really think there's enough interest here on the forum. And I think there'd be quite a few who could make it. This bike should be on those roads....
Basically there's three ways to do this area right. One: the whole cabin in the woods thing which is kinda my place. My spot would accomodate up to fifteen bikes and fifteen to eighteen folks if you added in a coupla rvs and tents. And we could rent the place next door which is just as nice as my spot and has a hot tub. If we did that we could up it by a few more people.
There's only two pottys at my house though...
Method two:
Rent a bunch of rooms at Fontana Resort which is about five miles away. Nice place, look it up. More money but has all the facilities for a very large group. Restaurant, ice cream shop, stuff for the ladies and kids to do while the guys are out shredding. The lake is right there...
Method three:
Stay at Deal's Gap. Rowdy, focused on sportbikes and the 318/11mile run that is the attraction of this area.
You can never make everyone happy so its hard to say one way is better than another. Heck some can stay at each place and the 'rally' can happen as a daily meetup and rideout. That would be the best but it would only really work that way and be fun for all if each place of accomodation had a large enough group, say 10 at my compund, 10-20 at the gap and all the families with 'requirements' at Fontana.
Meetups would be maybe Big dinners at Fontana's five star, Lunches at the Gap, GP or AMA on the big screen Sunday afternoon, Fireside at the cabin cooking out or benchracing at the gap. They do have parking lot pitbike GP's practically nightly there...Meetup times predetermined or adjusted for weather as required...
If we could get 25-30 people (or more) with bikes and all of their people they'd travel with - It'd be epic...
By the way, its a dry county which sucks when you run out of beer...
If you've never been here its hard to explain how perfect these roads are...
And Doc, I'd love to do whatever I can as a sometime resident of the area to help organize this thing if you think its a good idea."
Sooooo... Who wants in?I can get this place just about any week he isn't using it and this is still in the VERY early planning stages as i am not even 100% I can get time off but I wanted to put it out there and see if there is any interest.
I will be selective in who can come. Sorry but I will be responsiable and if I don't know you well enough I can't have you at the Cabin unless someone vouches for you. That doesn't stop people from staying at Fontan or deals Gap. I was thinking like 10 people tops at the cabin.
