That's really cool!
I just made the reservations, we're coming in on Monday the 3rd (late) and going to make a week of it. I know the other two will enjoy the amusement park and some caverns and sightseeing. Looking forward to some fun and meeting new people (which I don't do very often). We'll have some ladder ball and tether ball. Might even break out the croquet set.

There's some great wheeling out there too, if I knew someone else was bringing a Jeep or 4wd I'd bring mine and do some trail riding for a day.

I have room for two and was gonna offer. It would be real cramped with four. Sorry. Do you have something worked out yet?

I knew that and don't know how that was ever listed that way. Looks like you have a birthday party to plan for now.

Yep, he's turning 9 on Saturday if I read Jason's post correctly. I figure a hundred or so people, lots of big trucks and good food will make for a party he won't soon forget!

Look all the way up at the top of the map. It is a cabin by itself. The best cabin IMO.
Ain't that the truth I seen that one yesterday it is big and right above all of the camp sites that everyone will be at plus a tent spot right beside of it.

Jason if I had a bigger one you would be welcome to stay with me but I only have two bunks. Have you tried renting from Model Rentals From Tennessee RV Sales and Service I know you mentioned it last year they would probably give you a great rate and you could stay at the camp ground.

Also, Barry... I just called back and my cabin is #78.
Sweet, two Petes, Me , and Jim all right together, who wants to pitch some tents?

If we get near 100 I will contact him to verify that we will be fine. He is very accommodating.

As of the last count I counted 51 adults and 14 children.

I will stay in touch with the owner so nothing happens to this rally. You have my word!
Both him and his wife were grinning from ear to ear yesterday after being flooded with calls, I believe we are going to need alot more space but that should be no problem since only we have booked for that weekend sofar.

I still haven't made reservations, but I will here in a few minutes. Not because we're not sure, I'm just waiting on the boss to let me know how much time she can get off work. We're thinking about coming on Monday and staying through Sunday and making a week of it.
That would be a great idea gatlinburg, piegon forge are all just 40 minutes away you could spend a week easily there and still not see everything.

Any quad trails? I'm up for some quad riding, but I've got nothing I'd want to go wheeling with as far as bigger vehicles.

Thank you JD, that is a distinct possibility. We are looking at buying a used TT but if that doesn't happen, I will definitely go that route. I think that it may be the best way to go. I won't have to pull it all the way down there, I can just pick it up local, then tow it to the site...interesting.

I thank you very much for the offer. I don't yet, but JD has given me a solution. I am going to talk with the wife about it tonight.

His birthday is the 9th which is that Sunday. It will be a great birthday I'm sure.
