Black Mountain is NE GA. Black Bears Have been active everywhere because of the drought. We're accustomed to back packing in the SW and NW where bears are an issue and require attentiveness to food storage and the like. Thank heavens Black Bears are not aggressive like Brown Bears or Grizzlies.

OK guys, Labor Day is rapidly approaching.  Is our southern round up going to be only a pair of pode or a flock?  Checked the campground reservations this evening and we still have about 40% of the sites still available.  Here is the link again if anyone wants to join me and tdrace. http://southcarolinaparks.reserveamerica.com/camping/Kings_Mountain/r/campgroundDetails.do?page=details&contractCode=SC&parkId=10417&topTabIndex=CampingSpot]]> Thu, 04 Aug 2011 22:06:54 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1816&PID=18641#18641 Southern Roudup : I agree!

Myself I don't think the change was a good one.  Much too busy now.

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.

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.

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. ]]> Fri, 03 Jun 2011 23:29:22 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1816&PID=16314#16314 Southern Roudup : Hodge-I think the Charleston/Columbia... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1816&PID=16261#16261 Author: iamsmonk

Cowgirl-If you are arriving late, be sure to call ahead and get the code for the gate.  They close it at 10pm and you will need the code to get in.  If you run into problems, maybe I can provide my cell number just in case and I can come up and let you in.
