There's a walmart in Alcoa for food. I wouldn't bring that from Massachusetts, but that's me.

Pete's suggestion of a lawn chair was excellent. Seating is always in short supply around various campfires. Along those lines, I don't recall the bugs being bad, but I always keep bug spray in my car too. And a cooler is a good idea for keeping your, ahem, water nice and cool.

 

yep

good maps or a gps so you and 20 others won't get lost and have to do a u-turn in Cletus' front yard

 

Westside is right! If you have a passenger bring dramamine! Nothing like an unhappy passenger on the Dragon.

 

Change for the last surviving pay phone in the entire SouthEast.

 

Ok, cut it out now. If we agree one more time, I'm pretty sure there will be permanent damage to the space time continuum.

 

 

Lots of good suggestions. thanks!

 

Breakfast chow is always a good idea if you have a cabin, but they also serve an awesome breakfast at Deal's Gap (foot 'o the Dragon for you first timers!). I personally liked the breakfast in the Inn, but hey...to each his own.

On Saturday morning (the morning of our driver's meet and "monster" rollout), Fontana will also be offering breakfast (pancakes, sausage biscuits, muffins, etc.) at either our rollout site (in a tent on the ball fields) or in the near-by Wildwood Grille, so there will be cheaper breakfast options available (at least for Saturday morning).

 

Excellent!

 

Isn't Deal's Gap a breakfast option? They make great French Toast.
