: Still poking around trying to decide???? Should I, or shouldn't I? Here's some reasons why you should!
: * Hike some of western North Carolina's most beautiful trails to some gorgeous vistas & just about every waterfall seen in "The Last of the Mohicans."
: * It's a rare chance to see LOTM, the theatrical version, on the big screen.
: * Ride the rapids - as did Hawkeye, Uncas, & Chingachgook [only in a raft] - for a full-day trip down the Nolichucky. One of LOTM's best kept secrets. A rarely viewed location ... WITH guides who were also there with the film crew!
: * Delicious full-course Native fare dinner!
: * Concert by popular Mohican musician, Bill Miller.
: * Gathering commemmorative items available nowhere else.
: * Shooting and running competition.
: * Raffles
: * Filming participant-accounts by none other than Soldier #2 - on set from June-October, 1991!
: * Food, fun, and frolic with other fans - in a more manageable-sized group than in the past 2 years - in the mountains where LOTM was filmed.
: Did I leave anything out???
