Fontana Village isn't at this time. But the roads around it sure are!

We drove through Fontana Village Resort Saturday and it was sad seeing it empty.

I bet it was. I just hope they can resolve any issues they are having and get it re-opened. There are a lot of large groups that go down there and stay as they can handle the numbers.

I didn't unfortunately. That looks like Meadow Branch Rd (1247) to Rhymers Ferry Rd (1246) from Tapoco to Fontana Village. We took Hellbender (28) from Tapoco where we had lunch.

I stayed in Robbinsville, at Dragon's Rest, Wednesday-Friday. Went into the front entrance, and there only the hotel vans up at the lodge. Driving around the complex was eerie. It was like a ghost town.

There was a work pickup on site. We waved, as I stopped at the General Store to get on the Wi-fi (it was working!)

Went up Meadow Branch and missed Rhymer's Ferry and ended up at the electrical station at the end of the road.
