In Reply to: More Gathering Considerations... posted by Ariel Segal on January 11, 2002 at 12:15:19:
: Hi there. I found that there are Greyhound buses going from my hometown of
: Silver Spring, Maryland to Asheville, NC. Perhaps I can go down Tuesday
: before the gathering. How could I find someone to meet me in Asheville and
: drive with them to Chimney Rock (I cannot currently drive)? What would be
: the best way to coordinate?
Hi Ariel ... it's getting kind of lonely out here. Perhaps I should re-name the place "The RichFed Forum," or something akin to that. Hello???? I know you're out there!
Anyway, at some point, after we begin the reservation period in February, the mailing list will include only those who have actually signed up to attend. At that time, you could more than likely find someone who is passing through that way with which you can ride. Either post your request here, or better, use the group E-Mail list to inquire. We'll get you here, if you really want to be here!
: Also, re: the Nolichucky rafting vis-a-vis the sabbath, I would want to be
: back at my motel/hotel/whatever by 7:30, to be safe. Could that be
: coordinated with a group member?
That, I wouldn't be able to help you with. I'll need to stay with the group. However, there may very well be some out there who can assist.
: I must regret that I will be unable to see the film, as the sabbath is not
: over until nearly 9:30.
That's not good ... it's one of the highlights each year! Perhaps, you can run the video in the lodge.
: [Sorry about any inconvenience which might result from these
: restrictions; I just wanted to celebrate LOTM w/ similar admirers, if
: possible. I plan to fully participate in the rest of the Gathering.]
No problem, Ariel ... come & have fun.
: Finally, let me again put in my vote for Linville Gorge for Sunday. Why
: don't you poll the Gathering members as to their preference?
We have done just that in the past ... My guess is that Linville Gorge will find it's way in there SOMEHOW, either as the Sunday choice or to replace another day that might fall through.
: Be Well, and thanks for your help.
Hope it helped!
