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?

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?

(sung to the tune of "My Favorite Things")
Hailstones on hemlocks and
Bears in your kitchen
Bright blooming nettles and
Wayno is bitchen
Brown paper packages
Filled with Yuenling
These are a few of
The Penns Clavorite things

Coffee colored runoff and
LaCourse in his skivvies
Green drakes and sulphurs
As you crawl from you bivvy
Wild browns that pull
Making your Plueger just sing
These are a few of
The Penns Clavorite things

Girls in brown dresses
Asadi makes passes
Mustads that hook
My nose and eyelashes
Gold and red brookies
That jump from the Springs
These are a few of
The Penns Clavorite things

When the Reid Reids
When the tent floats
When the scotch is sad
I simply remember
My Penns Clavorite things
And then I don't feel so bad.


You'll be singing this I hope, next May -- maybe a choral group
rendtion?

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.

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

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.

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:

Jeff,

Thanks very much for the info. It looks like the chamber page will
give me all I need to know about lodging. I'm hoping to find a cabin on
or near the water. I'd hate to go to such beautiful country and sit in
a hotel room when the day is done.

Is the place you usually stay listed on that site? (I'll understand
if you're shy about giving away any more info on the house. :-)

Now if I can just find the closest airport ...


Chuck Vance (and is it true that all I need to bring in the way
of flies is some yellow humpies? ;-)
