We will all be on our runs by then. 
But you can go with us on Sunday - many go home Sunday, so the runs are not very long, usually, but still fun.
I HOPE there is a vacancy for you.

What time will you be leaving Saturday morning? Or I could meet up with you guys. I can leave Friday night if I have too. I work until 3:30 on Friday. It's only 8 hour drive.

Do that, we PLAN to leave around 9am but it's usually more like 930.
Call the lodge NOW and get a room - like I said, I HOPE you get a room. If not, you may be able to share one here with somone - or the fallback is the Microtel in Robbinsville, but that's 25 miles away.

Andy, what time do you think you will be rolling through Greensboro? Maybe we could meet up and drive out together?

Yes, what Nick said. I'm not laughing.
You could have said something like you arrived and found the lodge burnt to the ground, but NEVER destroy one of our babies, even in token jest !!!
You are now officially on probation.

Ok, 50% chance of RAIN today and cloudy. BUT, check out the forecast for the next three days - if they are right, it will be three wonderful days. High Friday of 80!!

Well, I got here and ran the Dragon before I headed to the Lodge, as usual. The car didnt' feel right, I don't know if I need shocks or it's the new Hankooks (they look pretty much the same as before). Anyway, there was NO traffic and no LEOs, so on the way back I ran it good.
I can't tell you what happened (I always judged guys who say that), but the car kinda let go in what really isn't the tight of a curve, and it's banked really well, too. I crossed the center and went into trees. I"m ok and the car isn't really all that bad, but the wrecker guy and I both agree: insurance will total it. I guess I'm still the "Event Coordinator" just not gonna be a route leader this time.
It's almost as bad as being in the hospital last spring. EDIT: NO, that was worse, I can buy another car.

Pizza guy I don't think I'm on the list. But God willing I'll be down there around midnight tonight. I wish everyone a safe trip. Mapquest said it's 6 and a half hour down there from Ohio. I lived in Asheville and drove back and forth to Ohio in my 95 Jeep wrangler witch was like driving a log wagon pull by an old horse. This should be a breeze.
