2 BR Hemlock (REMODELED UNITS!!) @ $149/night
2 BR Laurels (where we were last year, by the pond) @ $109/night
1 BR Willows @ $89/night
1 BR Lodge rooms @ $89/night

Sept. 15th is the last day that guarantees these room rates.

The Hemlocks are the remodeled units with 1 queen and 2 twin beds. Divide this one out among 3 parties and it's a great buy! Units would be on Welch Rd; #545, 546, 547, 548. (adjustment made to this info: it is a 2BR, not 3)

The Laurels are the units most of us stayed in last year. Two bedrooms, one queen and 2 twins. They are located around the Trout Pond. Unit #745, 747, 749, 751, 753, 755.

The Willows are on Cheoah Way. They are a one bedroom unit with a queen bed. Unit #909, 912, 916, 920.

The Lodge rooms are like a typical hotel room and are located in the main lodge.

See the map below for locations. Check out pictures of the units HERE.

No one is interested in some mountain carving fun?

ten four. I will get back to you :)

Nah, can't spark any interest here at all so I guess I won't be going. Shame shame.

Well keep it in mind York.

But for the rest of you, the last day of guaranteed room rates is this Friday the 17th. After which the availability and rates are up to Fontana.

Sweet, I am local to the Deals gap area.... Cya there....

Be glad to have you there Daffyduc. Most of us will arrive Friday afternoon and plan to take a drive Friday evening. Saturday would be the larger ride of the weekend including the Cherohala Parkway, lunch and the Dragon. When should we look for you? And what car?

Longest and best drive of the weekend is planning to head out of Fontana Village around 10:00 am Saturday. 4 or 5 hours of driving, eating and a bunch of picture taking!

Here are some pics from our BOTD weekend.

Planning to hit the coordination efforts much harder for next years event. We want to get back to the type crowds we had in '08. Pencil in September 2011 if you want to take a fall trip through the Tail of the Dragon.
