Scott, I don't snore.  You should be fine. 

Larry, we usually hold the driver's meeting about 8AM and are on the road by 9AM.  I expect us to arrive in Tellico Plains, Tn for lunch around 11:30-12 noon then into Gatlinburg around 5-5:30.  I've planned our Saturday Dinner to take place about 7PM. 

If you'll be camping 2 hours away from Gatlinburg, I'm guessing you are in the Knoxville or Norris Lake area?

Ill be in Spring City in the Watts Bar Lake area of the Tennessee river.  Tellico is a 1 hour drive from there rather than back tracking 3 hours all the way to Dawsonville.   I may just cut out the AM and meet everyone for lunch and then complete the rest of the run into Gattlinburg, if that is acceptable with the group.  That will shorten up the total time so Hudson can enjoy himself as well.   I do not want to miss out but have too much on my plate as usual and trying to do two things on the same weekend is probably silly but you only live once and I really want to do both.

Will you then cut out after dinner, back to Spring City?

Yeah, you can run 68 down to Tellico Plains,  do the real exciting part of the run with us then take 321 back from Gatlinburg.

Support your club.  Get your RFTH 25 Tshirts ordered.  Friday is the last day to order.

The hotels and restaurants are telling me they are open for business, so at this point, I'd say that RFTH 25 is a GO.  I don't expect it to be canceled.  This Friday, Sept. 4 is the last day to make your reservations at our group rates.

I have checked with the host hotels in Dawsonville and Gatlinburg.  Both tell me there have been only 5 rooms at either hotel reserved under the club's discounted rates. 

A reminder that this Friday, September 4 is the cutoff date for the discount rates.

Okay...Ordered my shirts. Booked my room in Gatlinburg. No problem.
Trying to book my room in Dawsonville. Been trying for almost an hour, now. I keep getting hung up on. ("Can you hold?" "Sure" *CLICK* Call is dropped. Really getting pissed... Happened twice, now.) Great way to earn future business.  >:( 
Edit- As of this moment I have eight calls to 706-216-1900. First one was at 10:27. "Can you call back? We're doing a shift change...?"
2nd Edit - Got through... "You'll need to hold. I'm checking someone in." ...and disconnected, I'm beyond pissed. One more try...
3rd Edit - Finally got to talk with someone who didn't hang up on me. Got the club rate after mentioning Charlie's name. Before that, she couldn't find the club. Lovely.
Anyway... I'm all signed up. See y'all there. In spite of the folks in Dawsonville's best efforts.  :D

Well, yesterday was the cutoff for shirts and hotel reservations, I believe.

Sorry you had so much problem.  I was the first to reserve a room at both hotels and I called late in the evening.  The girl in Dawsonville couldn't find any rooms blocked out for us.  Gatlinburg wasn't a problem.

I called back the next morning and the manager answered.  She's the one that set up the rooms for us.  She was already aware of my call the night before.  The girl was new and didn't know how to find the group blocks.  She had left a note detailing my call.   

Midnight was the cutoff, but both hotels said that if they still had rooms, they would honor the rates as long as there were rooms available.  I can still get Tshirts, too.  Yesterday I picked up everything that had already been ordered and will be bringing some of them to Caffeine and Octane tomorrow. 

Because there is some lag time between the time shirts are ordered and I get the PayPal notice, I like to give lots of time for the printer.  Sometimes they have big orders and my orders are delayed for a bit.

I just talked with Kathy, the manager at Dawsonville.  There are still 7 rooms remaining in our block and she will honor our rates until at least September 7.  After that, she has to release them for the area fall festivals.
