Beer.

Wolfgang

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...

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.

where is it? i'd like to look into a little bit of the local history- know

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

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.

Mark


cool- thanks mark, for all the info - and, i *really* hope you make it.

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.
