anti-clave

[snakefiddler]

o.k., folks-
please tell me everything i need to know about this anti-clave. exactly
where is it? i'd like to look into a little bit of the local history- know
something about the area. never having attended one of these things, i am
pretty clueless as to the trappings.
where will we be fishing? how do folks find one another since people will
be arriving on different days? is there anything besides the obvious
(fishing gear, fishing attire, non-fishing clothes, etc) that i need to
bring?


all help will be appreciated-
snake

The Anti-Clave is in Graham County, southwest of Robbinsville.
http://www.grahamcountytravel.com/maps/GC_MAP.jpg

This site should give ya a little info about the area, and you can google of course.
http://www.grahamcountytravel.com/about.html

The fishin' will be all over the area, streams rivers and lakes, depending upon the
participants adventurous nature.

Jeff will likely post directions to his place, but it was my experience that folks
just kinda found one another once they began showing up. Stop in at this rangers
station and they will have maps and info about campin' areas.
http://www.main.nc.us/graham/hiking/rangerhq.html

Bring warm clothes for the evenings and rain gear!

You have two choices for lodgings, basically: rent or camp out. I have some info
here at the house, somewhere, from my one time Anti-Clave. I'll try to find it for
ya, as I won't know if I am gonna make it 'til the last minute.

Don't fall for that, snake. Demand to know which brand of beer and if
it's to be lager or ale. They're tricky about that stuff.

october 9 - 16, graham county & swain county. rachel and i are staying
through the 23rd, so we'll be around if you need to plan a later date or
visit. our rental is in the snowbird area, south of robbinsville, on
snowbird creek. some folks are looking at the rentals over at almond
boat docks on fontana lake...about 30 minutes from snowbird...and some
are staying in robbinsville at motels (usually $40-90 per night).

great smoky mountain national park. fontana lake. santeetlah lake.
nantahala lake. lots of trout streams to fish. if you want to save
bucks and camp, there are plenty of free streamside campgrounds... as i
recall, mark has the hilton camping suite package. he could probably
loan it to you.... a shower will be available to campers in need. folks
seem to work out fishing and gathering details on a last minute basis.
we'll be visiting hazel creek ...something you should do at least once
during your trout fishing sojourn in nc. wayno knows the area well.
mark visited one year... i like it better than the blue ridge range
around boone. less populated, different "feel". here's a link to get
you started...

http://www.grahamchamber.com/

tooties in stecoah used to have a bluegrass night...i think it's similar
to the place you visit in blowing rock.

anyway, if you like the mountains of nc, you should visit the smoky
mountain area (western section...avoid cherokee area). ...and, bring
beer, vodka, gin, whisky, whiskey. almost any beer from the rogue
brewery will do... becks are ok as well. i have a useful cooler. there
is a nice spirit store in boone near app state on 105...excellent
selection for you to consider. but, don't go near wally with any of the
brews though, as cases magically turn to a six-pack in his presence.
look forward to meeting and fishing with you.

Anybody interested in a walk up Hazel Creek - mebbe spend a couple of nights
there? (reprise of the death march?) Also, what do you'uns think about
Forney and Noland and other creeks near the road to nowhere? I've never been
on those creeks and thought it might be fun to give it a try.

Noland is worth fishing if you don't mind smallish fish and a
very nice but somewhat long day hike. Forney is pretty much a
wash for fishing. For some reason that creek has never really
recovered from the deforestation and the sections you can reach
on a reasonable round-trip day hike from the Road to Nowhere are
pretty much a perennial ugly, muddy mess.

bob - i'm bringing my bay boat as an experiment. if the lake is high
enough, i'm hoping to check out chambers and forney where they enter the
lake - i've never been there. a hike up hazel is a definite plan... we
also need to do that snowbird thing. but, as rachel will be along, i
won't be overnighting.

noland is easy access and has a good trail - similar to the one along
hazel. i've been about 3 miles up it. i caught small rainbows when i
fished it. i also caught a hornets' nest... <g> i liked the hike.
though easy to access because of the paved road and parking lot, i only
saw one other person fishing in the lower stretch. i've heard some of
the big fish move up from the lake and ramble about in the lower
stretches in the fall...

i'd like to make that ride to chambers, jeffie. it is the most remote
and least fished water on the north shore. could be pretty sweet in what i
would expect to be high water. snakiest lookin' place i've ever seen. but
i haven't actually seen a snake in three trips. :)

my hope is that the snakes will be moving elsewhere in october. hazel
was one of the snakiest spots i've ever been to. i went over one summer
in the 80s with jim, roy bailey, and howard cummings... damn things were
sunning in the trees and on the rocks everywhere.

anyway...consider chambers a plan.

at some point, as we near oct 9, i reckon i need to know who'll be
around and when. have you talked to jim?

Thanks for the advice. I drove up the road weekend-before-last and there
were horse trailers and lots of cars, so I figure you're right. It's a
little too easy to get to. But it does look look like it would be
interesting to get a pack rod and a pack and plenty of Power Bars and just
start walking. One of these days when I get a little younger . . .

Understood. I'd like to see the old copper mines up on Eagle too. Did you
know that Cities Service Company retained mining rights there up until well
into the 80s? Gold and Copper.

If GWB had been in charge they'd have restarted and expanded the mining
operation and the Road to Nowhere would be for access to the mine . . .

If you can take an extra rider, and are planning such voyages between
October 10 - 16, count me in. My wish list includes Eagle, Chambers, Hazel,
Snowbird, Santeetlah, Nantahala (good when you absolutely, positively HAVE
to catch a fish), Kimsey Creek, and Buck Creek.

I know it's true that fish move from the lake into the streams in the fall.
Just a matter of getting there fustest with the mostest. Or something like
that.

at the risk of appearing to be maudlin, i would love to take a slow trip
up eagle and fish eeklaneetlee. we (me and pj and darris) have often talked
of taking a day hike up that far. but the thought of doing without whisky
or vodka for more than twelve hours is a monumental task.

perhaps we can arrange for suitable ...logistics...

I went to Canada a few months ago - surprising how easy it was to get into
BC and how hard it was to get back into WA. Got bawled out by a border guard
for not having my passport, and of course SWMBO had to go into a long
explanation of how I lost it on the plane and so on, the detail of which
explanation the constabulary did not appreciate as much as SWMBO did. A
royal PITA.

How can you ask for more culture than Graham county? You got the marvelous
language, the Norfolk Southern trestle at Almond, well-stocked grocery
stores, and Snyder's Store.

Just ask for a pied a terre in Robbinsville that you can use for a menage a
deux and see what happens!

I went to Canada a few months ago - surprising how easy it was to get into
BC and how hard it was to get back into WA. Got bawled out by a border guard
for not having my passport, and of course SWMBO had to go into a long
explanation of how I lost it on the plane and so on, the detail of which
explanation the constabulary did not appreciate as much as SWMBO did. A
royal PITA.

i am planning to get into town (i think early in the mornin) on the 14th,
stay overnight then, and the 15th (fall break from school)- probably hang
around for the day on the 16th to fish, and come home that evening/night.

gonna be staying at the fontana village campground. i think that's a good
location in respect to our planned activities?

Becky is planning to attend a high school reunion on the 9th. Looks
like we will probably leave Milwaukee some time on the 10th, thus
putting us at clave central (such as it is) late on the 10th or early
on the 11th. We will probably stay through Friday, the 15th. We plan
to camp......somewhere.

are you camping over there? is anyone else you know staying over there?
it will be convenient only for a boat ride from the fontana dock over to
hazel creek. otherwise, you will be a distance from snowbird and
santeetlah and nantahala (about 30 minutes or more), and away from most
folks. its not a drive i'd want to make after the typical evening
camaraderie or on a regular basis given the streams we'll probably focus
on. it appears we are going to have staggered appearances over the
2-week period, so it's hard to tell who will be around right now.

If you are camping, and don't want primitive camping, i'd suggest the
campgrounds over around joyce kilmer as a better and closer alternative.
if you are simply motel-ing, the metropolis of robbinsville would
probably be a better spot to stay. fontana village has little cabins
(dam workers old residences), a motel, and some camping - a bit too
"touristy" for my tastes. i think its also a bit crowded at times, esp.
with yawing children.

anyway, let me know if i can help. as i said, mark, wayno, and walt
might also have some suggestions.

i did it 2 years ago in march. it's a relatively easy walk, though trail
is narrower than hazel. also, ekaneetlee seemed a lot like "d...'s
creek"...tight and lots of deadfall at that time, but no big
fish...there were big fish (14") at the lower pools of eagle though.

Powerbar, olive, ketchup and peanut butter bruschetta, nothing
authentic, just something derivative, but hardly pedestrian. ;-)

has anyone figured out the overlaps yet? anyway, looks like patton,
wolfgang and becky & s-fiddler, will be around at least one night in
common. how about we gather at my place that evening and share a
meal... i think it'll be the 14th? wayno says he'll be stopping by on
his return from a federal court trial over in greeneville,
tenn...whenever that might be...but i suspect that means around the 9th
or during the first week. we'll also work out evening details for
whoever happens to be in the area during wayno's appearance (you will be
bringing the upside-down, left-handed guitar won't you wayno). for
those interested (and willing to shed a few bucks), rachel and i like to
eat at least one fancy meal up at the snowbird lodge and it would be a
good place for one evening's gathering.

btw, it looks like graham county may have been spared the terrible
flooding damage suffered by most of the other mountain counties... hope
the wiley trouts made it through safely as well.

yep, i'll be bringing the little 00028; but i honestly don't know if it
will be over the 9th or later. we start on tues, the 4th, and if we don't
finish by friday, i will have to go back to gso and prepare for arguments on
dismissal and/or closing. in that event, i will drop by around mid-week;
the 12th-14th, probably.

what details about the storm effect in the area can you share?

i checked the state storm report for graham county. only report i could
find involved one tree down at the fontana tourist grounds. rainfall
report showed less than 1/2 inch rain in the last 18 hours. current
weather is sunshine. news stations indicate major problems with floods
were east of graham and to the west, a bad washout of several miles of
i-40 near knoxville. i've sent e-mails to some of my friends in graham
co., but haven't heard from them yet. also, haven't heard from wally...

12th thru 15th will coincide with s-fiddler, wolf & becky, and patton.
have you heard anything from zimbo? btw, there's another place for rent
right on big snowbird about a half-mile after the turn onto the creek
road - 3 bedrooms. looks ok. the folks who own the blue boar offer it
for rent. it's also for sale (200k +). it would be a good spot for your
crowd... or, if jim/jennie decided to come up. 750 a week i think.

Dinner on 14th - sounds good. Count me in. If the chef de cuisine posts a
list of requested ingredients I'll bring something besides powerbars,
keeping in mind that it's a long way from Graham county to any store that
knows arugula is not a town in Virginia.

Agree that Graham seems to have missed the worst of it, which seems to have
missed the westernmost counties. I grew up on the land that is now the
Crooked Creek subdivision in Henderson county (it warn't no stinkin'
subdivision then) and I may have shot a squirrel or a crow out of the tree
that killed somebody on Thursday morning.

Dinner on 14th - sounds good. Count me in. If the chef de cuisine posts a
list of requested ingredients I'll bring something besides powerbars,
keeping in mind that it's a long way from Graham county to any store that
knows arugula is not a town in Virginia.

Agree that Graham seems to have missed the worst of it, which seems to have
missed the westernmost counties. I grew up on the land that is now the
Crooked Creek subdivision in Henderson county (it warn't no stinkin'
subdivision then) and I may have shot a squirrel or a crow out of the tree
that killed somebody on Thursday morning.

I've been planning to camp most of the time, but have a very limited desire
to drive to r-ville after any kind of clave celebration, so the place on big
snowbird might be interesting. If enough people want to share that week it
might be a good idea. SWMBO can't go, so I'll be alone but could use the
place as a base for the week.

Thanks. Very interesting. I've watched that little development for several
years.

If I were to do that, you could pay your share from your fee for
representing me in the divorce.

Bob
Hmmmmm. Just how much IS a place on Snowbird worth . . .

Naw I wasn't able to attend this year for various reasons, but hope to next year, if
I'm still alive. If I'm not alive, I doubt I will attend the anti-'clave, but will
try to make it to the Penns 'Clave. Regardless, you always have a place to stay,
should you make it down this away--if we are both alive, of course!
