There's a grocery store in Robbinsville, which is about 30 minutes from Fontana.

I decided to come last minute. I have stayed at the hotel in robbinsville and the little tuskeegee motel 10 mins from fontana village. Also camped at turkey creek (think thats the name) campground my first year. The camping is a little much but have no choice this year. Staying at a sketchy little no-lights, no-electricity, no-staffed campground 6 miles down 28 from fontana village. I'll be bringing my gun lol.

Are the 'duelling banjos' always playing in the background?

Rusty · 04-25-2016, 07:10 PM

There is a couple of places to buy stuff.

Stayed there last year. Not bad. If you come in late during the night. It's hard to find a parking spot close. They have towels at the desk that you can use to wash your car with.

The closer it gets, the more excited I am. I'll be there from Wednesday to Tuesday. Odd I know, but Memphis370 is staying a couple of days later. Figured I'd stick around too.

Topeco Lounge or whatever has some really good pizza btw. Had some last year and definitely getting some again this year.

I can hear the annoyance in my wife's voice as I go over plans for the 100th time. I'm pretty fricken excited. To the veterans is there wash points there for the Saturday show? How rough is it getting access?

Can confirm. Please refer to my avatar.

Car wash is a faucet with a "Y" adapter and two hoses, just below the main hall where the dinners are held.

Same type of setup on the side of the general store, further down the hill.

RE the driving:

The advisory signs, particularly the sub-30MPH signs, are not kidding. Here in Florida, advisory signs are useless. A "40 mph curve" can be taken at 70-mph, in a mini van, in the rain, through an oil slick, with corded 8yo tires...and you will get bored. << Florida

The advisory speed signs up there actually have information you can use.

Rusty · 04-26-2016, 07:15 PM

Last year, wife and I did the rally.

Had a blast.

On some of those roads we was on. We came across U-TURNS and SWITCH BACKS.

Alot of them.

PAY ATTENTION to the road signs. 'cause it's a two lane road. You have people coming at you. Nothing like being in the wrong lane on a switch back and you're looking at the driver coming at you with the same speed, and he is doing the same thing

I'm in the cabin just to the right of the wash rack, say hi! Although my cabin will have 2 black porsches (cayenne and 911 and a blue bmw M3 convertible in front this year)
