Yea, but many are looking to share rooms. That saves a LOT right there. Eating at the grill saves a TON over that awful dining room at the Lodge, and breakfast at the gap is 1/3 of what it is at the Lodge. The restaurant on the Skyway run will feed you lunch for $10 including tip.

If money is tight, post in the Dragon thread for a room to share -that cuts over $40 a day off right there. Shorten your trip to just friday and saturday nights, arrive friday and go home Sunday and you'll spend under $400 all weekend, including the gas to get there and back. It will be a time you won't forget, and you WILL be back.

Memphis is 435 miles - that's only 7 hours away - we have people coming from Canada, Colorado and Seattle, you are right next door!

ALSO, there is a hotel in Robbinsville, about 30 miles away, with rooms for around $52 a night. Not a bad place, it's an option if you can't find someone to share a lodge room with, but I bet you can. Staying at the lodge means more time with us to talk, review the day's events and meet those in the GenCoupe bunch.
