Definately Toccoca over Bug Jam... I think Bug Jam would be awesome but a heck of a drive to show off a half done project...

That would be a long haul period. Taccoa is a good show, not huge but fun. We had a blast last year. Camping, cookin' out, a few beers, talkin' smack with the Resto-Purist folks. I think we will do the VKG swap area so it will cost us a few bucks each to put our stuff out to sell and take turns tending the stuff. That swap meet has been good to me 2 years running. :agree:

OK, wife is game for Toccoa. I am searching for a trailer I can borrow/rent/lease now. Scared of the uhaul stuff, a lot of coin for what is usually a beat-up heap and I've got over 1000 mls to travel.
I will keep everybody posted and be checking back for some hotel tips if I can get everything together.

1,000 miles, is that one way or both ways...

I'm not very good at geography...

There is a hotel close to the show. Most of us will be camping Sat. night. Some will go to the hotel. I think Nigel Yellow73 stayed at the hotel last year. We will try to get you some info.

If I was going solo, I'd nap in the back of my truck.
With my wife coming along, it's gotta be four star... not becuase she insists, but becuase we hardly ever get to take a break and I want us to have a decent place to shower and crash.

I seriously doubt there is anything close to 4 start up there.
But you never know

Toccoa, Georgia, I hope, and not Toccoa, Missouri. Where can I find more info about the show? ... and about camping*?

(* - if I'm bringing my family and if we haven't sold our Westy yet and if I'm willing to tow Shantung and if they want to )

OK here is the Hotel info.
Days Inn. Toccoa (706)886-9461
Toccoa Inn (706)886-1048
I han't been to either one so I don't know how far from the Fairgrounds they are.

I think Nigle (Yellow 73) stayed at the Days Inn last year. I have not seen either place. Maybe there is some info on hotels.com etc.

I stayed at that Days Inn about 6 months ago. Rooms are around $50, and are OK. It's about 5 miles from the FG

I'll be camping. Can't beat the price there :agree:
