The band sounds great. We will be traveling over on Friday afternoon. We probably won't arrive until 7pm or so. Will the NRocks Welcome Center still be open for check-in?
Thanks again tlg for coordinating this meetup!

For late arrivals (after 5:00), I'll relocate welcome packets to the camping area. To reach the camping area, continue past the NRocks Welcome Center on Nelson Gap Rd (gravel). Travel uphill for around .5 miles. The camping area will be on your right. A sign and green cattle fence identify the site. If you hit Nelson Gap Ln you've gone too far. Maps below.
Still a ways off but current weather forecast calling for 40% chance of rain Fri evening. Partly cloudy on Saturday and sunny on Sunday. Temps in mid to high 50s with lows in mid to high 30s. Will keep a close eye on the reports.
Updated attendee list/weather. Forecast now calling for 40% chance of rain Fri morning with partial clearing Fri afternoon. High will be 60 on Fri. Lows in mid to high 30s through the weekend. Highs still in the 50s on Sat/Sun. Attendees:

For those with mountain bikes the trails depicted on the map above are not bike capable. Too steep (think lots of rock steps). There is riding available from the camping area but it’s limited to the gravel roads and a few logging trails (not maintained) that head up the surrounding mountains. Lots of hike a bike but the area is beautiful and worth a quick look.
Well I’m not able to make it again. I do have it on my calendar for next year. My current strategy is to fill my calendar with my own fun before family expresses a need for me to be here or there. I catch on.... eventually.
Enjoy the Appalachian spring weekend- nothing better!!
Thanks ever so much for organizing this rally!
I had an awesome time. It was great to meet everyone there.
Thanks to all who helped with the in the dirt bumper swap.
