All my family live in the Asheville area, Black Mt, Waynesville and all over. I actually Honeymooned in Gatlinburg. Maybe we could get a round up at Cades cove. How late are they open in the year? Small SMall World

What a coincidence.  I will be in Asheville this weekend - or nearby, anyway - in Brevard.  Going to see my mom.  Sure looks like we have the same old stomping grounds.  I remember Pigeon Forge before there ever was a Dollywood.  My, how that place has changed!
 
Good luck with towing up the mountain!  Let me know how that turns out.

Hodge-PODge - I'm so envious of your Pigeon Forge trip.  I would love to pull the Pod up there, it's one of my favorite places in the world. We LOVE Cades Cove.  I would love to stay in the Pod close enough to Cades Cove so that I could ride through just after sun-up.  Past vacations in that area have always involved hotels.  And by the time I drag my lazy butt out of bed, hit the pancake shop and finally make it to the Cove, it's usually aproaching noon!  I'd love to stay in the Townsend area in the Pod, but it may have to wait until I get a heftier tow vehicle.  I'm looking into a route that may avoid that monster of a climb up the mountain on I-40.  I want to try a test run one Sunday afternoon over Hwy 74, then up I-26 into Ashville. 
 
Hope you enjoy your Labor Day plans with the family in Townsend.  Perhaps we will meet another time!  Don't forget to post pics, your last ones were great.

No kidding!  My mom lives near Asheville -- in Brevard.  I'm going up there next weekend.  And I have lots of aunts, uncle, and cousins in Hendersonville, too.  It's a small world for sure!

Even though the drive to the roundup is quite doable for me, My daughter and son-in-law who camp in a pop-up, have already made arrangements for us all to camp near Pigeon Forge for Labor Day weekend at Townsend, the "quiet side of the Smokies." 
 
I will be sorry to miss you all.

   A roundup in Florida for this fall or winter sounds great for us. We have some vacation time left but not enough to travel out of the state.     David and Danette

MARSHWATER Their is some koa's right off of the interstate on I-95. Google Savannah, I am sure their is a state park off of I-95 as well. I hope to see you in Kings Mountain Maybe we can also get a roundup in Florida this fall or winter. That would be great!

marshwatcher - so far I think it's just me and tdrace.  Still plenty of time to get some more.
 
The CG is maybe an hour before you get to Davidson.  Just over the state line, exit 8 in NC.
 
I will have to defer to someone more familiar with the Savannah area for a layover spot. 
 
Hope you can make it!

So, I am losing track---how many are set for the Southern Roundup? Sounds like it is in the vicinity of Davidson College (just north of Charlotte N.C.)--both our children graduated from there.

It would be 9 hours or so for us but we would love to come back up to the area if we could make it a two day trip up and back. Could someone recommend a camp along I-95 somewhere near Savannah, GA?--that would be about half way, I think.

We would really like to meet some of you all.
