i'm genuinely disappointed.

Disappointed in what way? The venue is not an issue for you and those that have decided to participate and for others it could be the venue even if they had the means to go and for many it is simply cost prohibited. I think if ZDAYZ is to survive in the way it was in the past other alternative sites need to be considered including Fontana Village. I think there is a lot more to the story why it fell off the table.

I expected the move to drive off some but I didn't think they would lose 80%

Probably a little bit of both. I suspect it has something to do with some states requiring testing/quarantining after traveling, along with warnings that the local PD wasn't going to be particularly nice to people. Who knows? All we know for certain is that reservations fell off the cliff. :/

i'll go back to fontana if they give me my money back.

the new place is wellllll worth the cost. the condos are 100x better than the run down cabins at fontana.

i didnt have to test or quarantine in october when we went down so i highly doubt thats a thing now.

also, i think the local PD comments were aimed to just quelle the rowdier younger crowd to help mitigate any issues. like the people riding around at 4 am since our cars typically are not the quietest vehicles and some people live in this place full time.

i barely saw any cops down there.

edir: per the NC.gov website "There are no travel restrictions in place for North Carolina, and visitors do not have to quarantine upon arrival."

I didn't plan on spending much time in the cabins; I feel like most people felt likewise. For me at least, it's too expensive and not rural enough.

it is still zdayz, which is about the people, not the location. i feel many people may have forgotten that.

I agree, it is about the people. Unfortunately 100% of the people I would go to see are in this group right here, and are not attending Zdayz.

I went for the driving and seeing friends at a good price. Sounds like the new place is 3 times as much. I will pass this year. I don't give a rats butt about golfing. The drinking, not my thang.
