Well, that was stupid. I made a reservation for fall, but not spring.
Called lodge, they are booked solid in the lodge and cabana rooms.
BUT..............
They gave me a one bedroom cabin at a discount of $102 a night (same rate we get on a fireplace room).

Mark, way to go! I spoke with Marie this afternoon and she also said she would let me know if there were any lodge cancellations, in case someone else in the Club were looking for rooms at the last minute.

Hey Mark! I mapped out a run with a stop in Waynesville. they have a neat downtown with a few boutique shops, a great wine cellar and a brewery by a river. just 8 miles past Balsam Pass (Balsam Fir Inn also a great visit) then back through the Blue ridge parkway..
We are going to do "The British Run" if there is interest. Developed by Zach and Adam Gilbert (he's British hence the name), this one is a modded Franklin/Highland/Cashiers run.
Take NC28 from lodge to Franklin.
Take US64 out of Franklin to the east/south. Watch for “Walnut Creek Road” it’s a left turn about 3 miles outside of Franklin, “Heritage Garage Doors” is on the left about ¼ mile before the turn.
Stay on this road for nine miles, it will dead end into 107. Turn right and go about 6 miles into Cashiers.
Turn right onto US64, this will take you to Highlands in about 7 miles, be sure to follow US64 thru Highlands, it will take you back to Franklin.
From Franklin, you can come home back down 28 or take the Wayah Road path (from the “Classic Franklin Run” back to the lodge.
I hope to see both these runs again at the Fall Dragon in October
