Thanks for the advice, all. I knew I could count on youse guys.

With Yellowstone out of the question due to runoff conditions, I was
leaning towards Graham County, as I've always liked NC. But it is gonna
be hard to pass up an invite from you bookish sorts who'll be at Penn's.
So, what's the scenery like up there?

Er ... uh ... let me rephrase that: In addition to the ROFFian
contingent, what should I expect in the way of wild animals and natural
wonders?

Is that a threat?

I will. I've been checking out the lodging situation, and I seem to
recall that you rented (or owned?) a cabin right on the Snowbird. Any
recommendations for lodging for a solitary ROFFian who doesn't want to
rough it at night, but would like to be close to the water?

chuck - here's a page with accommodations listed. we usually rent a
comfortable 2 bedroom/2bathroom house on snowbird, about a 1/4 mile from
the turn to the big snowbird backcountry... it sits on the stream, and
some zoo trout can be caught in the stretch just behind the place. it's
about 670 week with taxes. motels in robbinsville (not scenic, but
comfortable) are around 50 a night. campsites are pretty good in the
area. swan cabin is in a remote area above big santeetlah creek,
primitive cabin, but only 25 a night.
