The REALLY sad thing is that the llama was the nicest single guy I've managed to meet in the past 12 months...

| That llama was just THE SWEETEST THING!!! All he wanted to do was nuzzle, cuddle and kiss!! Christina, Diana, Marcia and I spent AGES with him - and he never got cross or upset once. And never spat AT ALL! He was just the most LOVABLE creature!! |

I LOVE those pictures of Christina, Kate, and the llama. When were they taken?
That is a great idea about the ones that want to make it a week long Gathering to come a few days ahead. I would love to see more sites too. I fell in love with North Carolina. Hmmmm, I wonder if I can convince the hubby to move.

Hehehehee... these pics were taken last October when Christina, Diana, myself and a one time poster here, Marcia, were having our Autumn trek in Chimney Rock. If I recall right, this is was at 'Grandad's Apple Barn' (?) just up the road a piece from Bat Cave.
They had the most WONDERFUL apples and - PUMPKINS!!! A BIIIIIG YARD OF PUMPKINS!!!! As well as our smoochie friend here and his two buds, a Mama and baby goat, who were lying in the shed, not botherin' with visitors that day. HOWSEVER, this l'll llama just COULDN'T GET ENOUGH lovin'!! Honestly, he was just SOOOOO sweet, and soooo crazy for being petted!!!

This is the cabin that we stay in. It's nearly 150 years old and - has a ghost! When the kitchen extension was being added, a body was found under what was to be the kitchen floor. And it's said that the spirit of the lady buried under the floor, haunts the cabin. Well... you can believe what ye like but one night when we had a campfire, there were more folks sitting and milling around, than actually signed up for ROTBAT!

I didn't think that it was from this year because I couldn't think of where y'all might have gone to see the llama. He is awfully cute!!!
I think that N.C. in October is going to be wonderful!!! I definitely want to be there. That cabin looks kind of small. Do they have more cabins nearby? Hopefully a haunted one, because a friend of mine that wants to be there will find the spirit if it is there.

Well, actually, that cabin sleeps six. It accommodates that many without too many problems. Anymore and it MIGHT be a little crowded. Howsever, it has an enclosed Verandah where a few more folks could camp out, was there a need.
There's another cabin nearby that sleeps 4. However, there's room inside for another two people, if it was necessary. It has a verandah but it's open and *I* personally wouldn't be keen to sleep there, though I dare say, in good weather, it might actually be okay.
The cabins are basic, and not what I'd describe as the CLEANEST accommodation I've ever slept in. However, the beds and appliances were spotless and the beds comfortable. Both cabins are self-catering, with cookers and fridges...
They ARE 150 years old though... (actually, I believe the smaller one is much newer than that) and LOG CABINS,... they aren't Lake Lure Inn...
BUT WE HAD A GREAT TIME last year (had a FABULOUS time the year before too!) and the way we look at it is, it's just somewhere to lay yer head at night. Yer out doing things through the day...
October is PERFECT there - colour without the boiling hot sun, and soaring temperatures... |

I voted for my favorite activities (not an easy choice--everything was great!). But I also wanted to address some of the "activities" that weren't listed----the Guest Speakers that we had. I really enjoyed these speakers--at Cherokee, Spirits, and the movie, even though their time was limited. And it was a shame that the Ft. William-Henry speaker couldn't attend.
A 4-day Gathering is a tight schedule, but I hope that we would be able to do a dinner-speaker type of event.

I agree with you Nancy. I especially loved listening to Bo Taylor. I could have listened to him alot longer, and of course, Russell was great too.

I figured that maybe we could get some more input as to what is everybody's favorite event. These polls can really help out whoever is going to head up the 2006 Gathering!!!

Resurrection of this thread! Please vote for your favorite event and comment about any others that you would like. Gathering plans are underway and we need to know what YOU want. This year looks like it will be a shorter Gathering, so we can't do everything, so make your choices known!!!!

| I couldn't stay for the entire Gathering, but I loved hiking up to where Alice jumped and to the place where the movie ended. |

I missed going to Table Rock last year and would really like to go next year, even though that wasn't the event that I voted for. Can we maybe schedule something for the same day as Nolichucky for those of us that aren't terribly fond of water? I know that alot of the group would really like to go rafting again, so I am sure that will be one of the events, but maybe there is something that can coincide with Nolichucky for us landlubbers.
Love,

I REALLY love Chimney Rock! And probably will be coming since I can see again --retinal stuff with other things all cleared--can't wait to see everything and everyone again!!!
Thanks for all your work on this.

I think that maybe because it is a pricey excursion. I will say though, that if you have never been to the Biltmore Estate I would HIGHLY recommend going at least once! It is wonderful. |

My vote is for the waterfalls at Dupont forest. Looking forward to June.
I will probably take a week off from work to attend the gathering. When not at the gathering I will likely set up base camp in Gaitlinburg TN and make day trips to Cherokee Reservation and Smokey Mountain National Park. All are welcome to join me.
