Ok... it looks like all of the staple items are covered.. if anyone chooses to bring anything else... awesome.. but... it dont think anything else is necessary... we should be good to go...

http://www.nps.gov/grsm/planyourvisit/upload/grsmmap1.pdf

link above is a map to the smoky mountain national park.. you can see the Cosby Picnic area is on the northeast side of the park.. right off HWY 321.. if you can get to 321, you really cant miss it.. just drive until you see signs...... getting to 321 can be a PIA though depending on where you try to access it from...

there is another map on this page that might help:

http://www.reserveamerica.com/camping/map_of_Cosby_Picnic_Pavilion/r/campgroundMap.do?page=map&search=site&contractCode=NRSO&parkId=70917

one more map:

http://find.mapmuse.com/map/national-recreation/goto/806313568/cosby-picnic-pavilion

and Mapquest will give you decent driving directions if youll plug in the address...

Cosby Picnic Pavilion
127 Cosby Park Road
Cosby TN 37722

Your GPS might do better than mine... I was using the Waze app on my iphone... she ultimately got me there.. just made me drive an extra half hour through "deliverance" territory to get there...

Agreed...

I know LPF is staying at a hotel near the airport.. not sure where KK, Skully or Brad are staying (or anyone else)... but it sounds like we need to get together for dinner, hit one of the decent B&M's in town, and have a pre-herf to me....

Ill talk to my lounge today and see if they might consider opening it up to a couple of non member guests on Friday night.. they normally let me bring 1 person in no questions asked.. If I can get a headcount on how many people would like to link up Friday night, I'll see what I can do to get us all inside there...

If that doesnt work, old city cigar downtown has a decent selection.. and the restaurant across the street has a decent menu and an outside seating option where smoking is allowed (several cigar smokers there).. assuming the weather is nice.. this might be the better option anyway...

raise your hand if you want to link up Fri night.. and Ill put something together for all of us..

the bad...

no electrical hook ups at all... dont plan on bringing anything that requires power.. if it doesnt run on a battery.. you arent going to run it..... no cell phone service.. I have verizon and my wife has at&t.. neither of us had a signal at all.. and it is DIFFICULT to get to.... do not trust your GPS.. mine got us close.. but took us some crazy back way in that added 25 miles to the trip.. and through 10 miles of rusted out mid 1970's single wide trailer homes, and cow pastures (nothing at all around).... make sure you map out the location, etc.. in addition to having your GPS locked in.. cause.. if you get lost.. its not like youre going to be able to call anyone... our phones wont be working :)
Well damn I was hoping to live through the forum for this one! Guess I'll have to wait just a bit longer.

Okay guys, as of right now it's not looking good for me. Long story short we had another budget cut at my job. All the overtime I signed up for to pay for the trip was canceled. I will let you know if something happens though.

what you need to make it down rex?
You guys already do enough for me. I love you all, I really do but I don't want to rely on you guys. It's just a long drive from my end in Northern Indiana. Thank you though. ;)

Don't worry if it doesn't happen this time it will happen another.

I hate you Rex! This would be my first herf and now i have to miss it thanks to your cheap ass....
Ryan shut up...

Lmao! I was just talking to him and Sean. Sorry about the drama but we should be able to figure out a way. Ryan said he'd go either way. I am hoping KoreanCowboy is still in.
