i am planning on the october clave, since
it is close to home. i have no idea how to plan for it, what to expect, or
even what the dates are, though. but i do know to plan on a good time
fishing with some roffians, and likely a valuable learning experience.

October 9-16 are the primary dates. It's in and around Graham County,
which is about 90 minutes west of Asheville. Mark, Wally, and Wayno are
familiar with the area. Rachel, Sadie (our dog)and I will be staying on
until the 23rd, and some others may show up during that second week.
I'm happy to provide info to anyone who asks.

Technically it's the anti-clave (CACA) cause there aren't any planned
events, raffles, rules, or requirements - it sorta takes shape day to
day, moment to moment as folks coalesce or meander, choose or not
choose, fish or not fish, etc. bring flyrods, spinnin rods, or just
tickle the fish from under a rock. musicians are most welcome...and
there is usually a weekly bluegrass night at Tooties in Stecoah. you'll
have a fine time...but, if you plan on a room or non-camping
accommodations, you should make reservations as soon as possible because
it's a popular time for the leaf-lookers, hikers, and fall vacationers too.
