Good question Franc, hope we are, that guide last year gave us the name where to go. She'll look when we get home to see if she can find it. Maybe danimal has it.

We had talked about doing the Ocoee or Pigeon River this year.....but Kim will not be able to make this one and I will not be coming in until Friday. So, if you guys want to set something up here is the link with all the info:

Adventure America Zipline Canopy Tours

With my trip planned for Woodward this year I had to knock a day or two off of my Dragon trip. Sorry that I wasn't able to plan some additional stuff this fall......but I look forward to seeing everyone in the lobby Friday evening.

Friday will be a day of Ziplining, Erzer and Mrs Erzer have the details. Cathy and I are considering the evening dinner railway ride out of Bryson City on Friday nite. Likely will miss the first nite's gathering unless ya'll hang around til after midnite.

And miss the Friday night driver's meeting? I'm not sure if you'll be qualified to run the Hellbender if you miss the briefing, Franc...

I'll have an extra nightcap or two and be just fine.

Saturday I'll just hang on behind you and draft off your Alabaster's big wing.

Take flight above the forest floor blanketed with mountain laurel, rhododendron, flame azalea, and other native plants. While in flight, watch for hawks, deer, and other wildlife; or spot the remains of a moonshine still while rangers share the cultural history of the Nantahala Gorge.
Kinda scary, some physical ability required. Worth ever pucker of your sphincter muscle.
Thank you!

The copilot and I have reservations on the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad out of Bryson City (gsmr.com) for Friday. The Nantahala Gorge Excursion starts at 10:30. Booked a first class bar car. Expect to get to the hotel middle of the afternoon.
