Maggie Valley 2015

[Papa Zook]

I am waiting on Michael to call me back with the rates. There is already a fairly large group that will be in town for the "Thunder In The Smokies" Fall Rally which is the 10th, 11th, 12th, so we will either be there the same time as them or take the next weekend which is the 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th.

"Thunder In The Smokies" draws some real crowds...just for "info purposes".....

That's what Michael said too and he said most everything in town will be sold out that weekend, so it looks like the 17th, 18th, 19th 20th will be our best bet. The posted rates I am seeing are a lot higher than we paid 2 years ago, so I hope we can get a decent rate.

Any thoughts for the week before Thunder ? :Shrug:

I'm hoping some good rates too...17th through 20th dates sound good.....ThumbUp

The week before Thunder runs into the 3 day Labor Day weekend which will be really busy and higher rates.

Got ya... :AllGood:

 

[skuuter]

Yep, "LABOR DAY IN THE SMOKIES" is not a good thing...Total Traffic Jams everywhere on most every road, Long Food Lines at every restaurant...even the sidewalks in Gatlinburg are virtually non-moving.......:AGGHH:

Just waiting on a callback today from the GM at Best Western.

Yes we're talking about 2015. As for a scout ride this year, I would personally like to do one if timing and finances allow.

If I can't make the whole Trip Dates on this, I might do a "One-Dayer" up there and back home....at least get to see Everyone..... ThumbUp

I have found that having the event the first part of the week works pretty good for a couple of reasons; gives you a better motel price when not staying on Fri/Sat nites, gives most individuals Sat/Sun for travel there and Thurs/Sun for travel back which only requires 1 week of vacation for most and best of all, it gets rid of all the weekend traffic !!

ThumbUp Maggie Valley in the fall is a great idea. I like the Sept time frame and will block out that time so I don't commit to something else! I haven't been to any TOI events so this could be my first. Thanks to all for your efforts to set this up! ThumbUp

I'd like to see it go this way too. Wife still works and only gets so much vacation time.

 

[Motorcycle Mike]

I got a close eye on this. Already ran it by the warden. ThumbUp
I'd be interested in joining the scouting party as well if the timeing is right.

 

[viper]

I would love to see it happen in the Valley in Sept. when its not to hot! I'll come as long as the health holds out! orag:

Looking forward to the Rally in Maggie Valley. I don't really care what days it is on but would prefer having the week-end involved. The motels give price breaks for rallies so cost should not be a concern.

Randy do we have a firm date yet?

- - - Updated - - -

Do we have a date for Scouting party this year?????

 

[rmrc51]

I for one have all intentions on making this rally baring any unforeseen circumstances. I'll be watching for definite dates so I can make reservations at the Best Western. I'll also try to be part of the scouting party depending on when that will take place. ThumbUp

 

[steamer]

We were there in early June and the weather was great, low to mid 80's everyday. Little cooler in the mountains. almost no rain.

 

[Oldmsocko]

My bride and I heading down that way in a couple weeks. I have been informed that I have to visit Dolly Wood which I have no problem doing. I am HEN Pecked.

We stayed at the Best Western in MV two weeks ago. Rooms were $90 + tax, which included the free (not) breakfast. Scrambled eggs, sausage patties, toast, coffee,and juice. It filled the void and beat waiting in line at the other eateries.
Some friends stayed at The Holiday just east of us for $70 + tax, a small mom & pop, very clean and they cater to anyone on a bike. Rooms were a little smaller, rocking chairs under the front porch, a small restaurant on site with great home fries, bacon and egg breakfast (not included) and a place to grill out if you desire, really nice folks.
