Hey Ken and Patrick:

Did you guys go to Mt. Mitchell on Wednesday afternoon in the 3 car caravan shown in the pic? If so, I think I passed you guys when I was headed to Asheville, and I had just left Mt. Mitchell, but couldn't take the BRP to Asheville because it was closed at Mt. Mitchell.

I'm all for having it at Tapaco Lodge. They are renovating it and to be honest, I'm a little tired of the attitude at Fontana Village.

That was me! Mt. Mitchell is awesome - and the pic you guys took is spectacular!

Any idea of when you'll get all of your pics posted? I know you have several 100s if not 1000s

I actually like Fontana very much. I like the facilities, and they are getting better every year.

I also liked Fontana. I am not sure what is meant by "the attitude". The nice thing is there is something to accomodate everyone with the cabins and the lodge rooms. Plus being so close to the dragon is nice.
