Taccoa Swap Area, 1 spot or 2

[Panelfantastic]

We will be at the hotel Sat. nite and see you guys Sun. morning. I'll try to be extra quiet since I know you'll all be recovering .
Does anyone have an idea of the layout and where the group might be located? Will I be directed off to a "bus area" or something like that?

[NO_H2O]

I think we will be in the RAT area. If you get there before dark you can drop the bus at the fairground and then go to the hotel. It will be in good hands and you will be registered already so you can just hit a chair with the rest of us in the morning.

I'll have to play that one by ear, we are staying a town over and I'm not sure when we will arrive. If we make it early enough, getting set-up the nite before sure would be easier...

You bet, and the all the VW hard core folks will make sure it is safe. If it is parked in Jakes area you will have a stone sober hard core Marine/VW guy camping next to it in the RAT Bus. That is like chaining a big pissed off dog to the door.

:agree: !

So when and where are we meeting up. I would like to know in case the power is out for a few days and I can't get in touch with anybody. Joe and I are planning to be up in the area around 3:00 p.m. so I just need to know where to drive to.

Sue and I will be at the Fairgrounds around 3:00 or 4:00. We'll be driving straight there, so we'll miss the caravan.

The place isn't too big to pick out people or cars in the crowd, and there won't be a major crowd there on Saturday afternoon anyway. Just look for my red truck, my ugly head or Sue's Bug with the Twisties .

I'll get there when I can, I hope to be able to find the Fair grounds. But if not I'll stop and ask. I'll try to be there around 2 or 3. That's IF my car makes it. If I have problems, I still have Brendan's number, so I'll call him and tell him. Unless it changed?

Same number Mike, call anytime.

BG, why don't you guys plan on either meeting at my place or an area right around here but closer to the interstate. frankly, i haven't made any plans yet. have a bag and a tent (dave's) to sleep in. that is about as far as they go.

my best suggestion is to meet up at Discover Mills mall on I-85 and Sugarloaf Parkway. it is about 2 miles before I-985. maybe we shoot for 3:00 then?

dave, have you set any plans. anything up with the SEVWC people or AA?

I think I have found a way to get all the swap stuff up to the show. Kathy and Lonnie are passing thru here and said they have room for it in the double cab. They plan to be at the show around 2:00-3:00. If I have them haul the stuff up I will need to drive up wiff them.
Didn't we plan to leave your house at 3:00 last year

3 at Discovery Mills would work for me. I may have the family in tow also.

[zen]

cool. let's plan on 3:00 then at Discovery Mills. i will stay in touch with Dave and will try to time hooking up with him, Kathy and Lonnie. hopefully the timing works out. if it rains saturday (not supposed to at this point), i will mostly likely not head up until Sunday morning. we'll see.

so who all is in for meeting at Discover Mills? nigel, me, dave (assuming timing works out). joe and brendan, you up for that? anyone else? yeti, panel and mikey are headed from the other direction. not sure on johnh.

[yellow73]

That would be great for me as long as Frances does not damage the house and is not still raining too bad...

[boygenius]

Anybody got an address for the Discovery Mills mall for us "out of towners". I can't seem to find directions for it on mapquest.
