ANurse4U: wow, it sounds like fun. That is a 6 hour drive for me and I think that would be a bit much for a one day event. Perhaps next time for me.


Hmmm...

Just for what it's worth, I suppose that I should mention that there are also campgrounds (if a person likes to/wants to camp) as well as several motels nearby. There are also cabins for rent, but I don't think we've gotten started in time to reserve one. Also, I'm not sure about the price list on the cabins. Perhaps - if the interest is high enough to try doing this again next year - we can check on the possibility of renting a cabin for the entire weekend... (Just a thought.)

And if anyone would like to "check things out a bit," they can do so at the following website:



We look forward to seeing as many folks there as possible!

I'm not sure. And outside of going down the list and calling each one, I really wouldn't know how to find out. dunno

I do know that the closest town is Lake City, (It's the Lake City exit that you'll take to get to the park.) so maybe you could find some info that way?

Wish I could be more help.

Just thought I'd mention that anyone who is interested or plans on attending our little "get together" needs to hit page one of this thread and click on the sign-up button. (If you haven't already.) Those are the figures that we'll depend upon to help us plan this to-do more efficiently - I,e, food, drinks, activities, etc...


Really looking forward to this!!!!

So come on up/down/over and enjoy some beautiful scenery, good company and fun times in East Tennessee!

Oh, and - as has been mentioned elsewhere - this event is taking place the day after our (Kansan & Jackson's) first anniversary. So we're really looking forward to celebrating with friends from the site where we met!

applause yay applause
