Wow... so according to the website Fontana is completely booked now... Anyone know if this really is the case?...maybe I should just not be lazy and call lol

Stillen -- give them a call, I made reservations last weekend, and we got a room in the lodge -- call them and see what they have left open. Another option if they ARE booked is to ask if they have a waiting list..... Just some thoughts....

even if they are, they will put you on a waiting list to reserve... people cancel everyday! Better get crackin!

good call... thanks for the advice guys... hope to see you there.... Any word on the Midwest Caravan anyone?

this^^^ and i believe bryan said all the cabins are reserved, not the lodge. i may be mistaken tho, i've slept since then lol

You could always offer to bunk with someone!

I've had 4 offers to bunk in my cabin! LOL

I think people will be bringing sleeping bags to sleep wherever they can.

Speaking of ZDAYZ, I'm a bit surprised that the last update on the ZDAYZ web site is dated 2/19, exactly one month ago. No event dates/times yet and it's now only 2 months away...

Bryan has been busier than a 3 peckered dog at work and the website is his responsiblity. I know he just started working on it again so their should be an update soon.

I m not surprised at all!

ZDayz has grown alot over the course of the past few years. I will suggest looking towards Robinsville, NC if Fontana is booked. Its about 20 minutes from the lodge, but I know that there are atleast 2 to 3 hotels along the route.

I m sure that there will be plenty of room for people crash. I always bring my air mattress for friends and I think most cabins have a couch that can pull out into a bed.

yea bryan's been out of town for two weeks and working crazy hours this past week. he said he would be working on it some this weekend and next week so stay tuned for updates. ya'll need to cut some slack, he works his @$$ off to make a living, it's all he can do just to find time for sleep :)

I know all about being busy, just seemed kinda dead there.

Im considering going down. ~8 hours is a long drive and I really hate 81, but deals gap is cool. Anyone know what the typical turnout for this is? 500 zs? more ? less?

I went in 05 and 06. It's just over 1,000 miles one way for me. Takes me over 16 hours total to get there. It's worth it, especially if you go with people or know someone there.
