Chimney Rock Trip
Let's plan a trip up to Chimney Rock and Biltmore House! It would be a blast to get everyone together for the trip and we could do it over a weekend (or long weekend including a Friday or Monday).
Let me know what you all think about times, dates, etc.

Just a suggestion...
The best times to see Biltmore are Spring (already passed) and Christmas.
Christmas at Biltmore is simply awesomefied. The decorations are some of the best you'll see.
Summer is ok, I'd just suggest either Spring or Christmas.
Spring has all the tulips and all the spring flowers and such, summer is ok as the garden is pretty much in full bloom as well.

Okay. Time to get the planning started. As it stands, the plan is as follows:
7/14 - 1:00pm - Travel to Chimney Rock area
7/14 - 5:30pm - Arrive Chimney Rock area
7/15 - Spend day at Chimney Rock and surrounding area
7/16 - Spend day at Biltmore House and Gardens
7/16 - 5:00pm - Travel back
This is the rough itinerary and I will modify it as the details are worked out. We will be camping each night (friday, saturday).
Lisa, get your time planned at work! Whootah!

Ok. I spoke with Lisa and everything is on (as in her post above) for the weekend starting the 14th. I will get our sites reserved once I speak with everyone and determine who's staying overnight. At this point, John, Barbara, myself, Lisa and Phil are going to be camping. That means I will be reserving at least 2 sites. Jonathan, do you plan to stay overnight on Friday or Saturday or at all? If so, then we still only need the two sites as they allow 2 tents per site but no more. If Robert and Sarah wind up camping then I will get 3 sites. They are about $34.00 per night with 4 adults per site so it works out really cheap.
Here are a few links for everyone:

Hope everyone can make it for at least part of the trip. It's gonna be a blast!
Keep in touch Dave and let us know if you can meet up at some point, even if it's only for dinner or something.
Whootah!

And what does that have to do with the 15th and 16th?but the big things is I am heading out on the 19th to head up the East Coast for 5 days. Well have fun anyway.
Anywho, I've been to the Biltmore House a few times before, and I'll be f***ed if I'm gonna pay 45 bucks to go again. I should be able to meet you guys at Chimmney Rock on Saturday, though, and might camp Saturday night then leave in the morning

It has to do with it because when I posted that, the gathering was a week later than what it is now. I was just stating that I could not attend since it interfered with the current trip I have planned. Alan edited his post about it to reflect the current dates. Maybe this will clear up what you where asking?
As for a meet up for dinner, looking like I will be in wonderful Utah that weekend for some boring a$$ work conferance.
