If you decide to stay in North carolina, I might suggest a stop on the way
there. The FFF Southeastern Council Conclave is scheduled for Callaway Gardens
the first weekend of June. I plan to try to catch some of their huge bluegill
while there. The FFF usualy negotiates some very deep discounts for lodging
onsite.


Thanks for the suggestion, BD. I'll do some checking into it. I'm
still not sure where the heck I should fly into if I do go to NC.

I have missed your pictures of Perdnales Falls State Park lately.


I've missed going there. What's usually one of the best fishing
times of the year has been a total washout (pun intended) due to all the
rain we've been having:

Atlanta's 3-4 hours from Snowbird. Chattanooga is closer but I don't know
about flights in or out of there.

Asheville is 2 hours east of Fontana Lake, Santeetlah Lake and Snowbird.
It has an airport, but I've heard connections through there can be
expensive. I wouldn't fly into and drive out of Atlanta if I had a
choice...much like the release of a magnificent bowel movement after
days of constipation, making one's way out of Atlanta can be a strained
and unpleasant processs... g

Based on the casual way you steer, I imagine those around you on the road
share your observation. g If you avoid rush hour it isn't too bad, and there
are plenty of flights to choose from.

I have very vivid memories of Hotlanta traffic, so I think I'll
pass. :-} I'll look into Asheville, as it looks like the drive would
be a pleasant one. Knoxville is also an option, but I never enjoyed
driving through there either. (Is Malfunction Junction still as bad as
ever?)

Thanks for your help.
