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...

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

i'll bring my fiddle- could be a lot of fun.



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.

one of you carolina boys needs to bring a little bootleg, as i have yet to
experince the "local spirits." go easy on me though, i'm a lightweight when
it comes to drinkin ;-)


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.

thing now.

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
