That is my wedding aniv., I'll see if she would like to go. We haven't made any plans so far. It sounds great tough, we can be there in less than 2 hours. We've never been there, this would give us a good reason

We're about an 8 hour drive away so it's doable. I'll do some checking to see if we can make it. I think it would be a nice g2g for a weekend.

It's about a 4-5 hour drive from here depending on if I take the interstates or the Parkway. Would be neat to get to meet you folks since I'm brand spankin' new to these here HHRs and the forums. Now to talk the wife into it.

DA -- Welcome to the forums!

So do ya think you could make the event in Aug.?
I would love to meet you there.

All -- Just heard a rumor that Bruce Hornsby is doing
a concert at Biltmore on Friday Aug. 11th.
At least it is on his website concert schedule for now.

However, the Biltmore has not confirmed this date.

That would be me. Only 1 member on this site lives farther south in Florida than me (06hhrjr). At least of those members posting here.

Here is another shot for you to ponder...




Can you imagine a group of our R's lined up real purdy against the rail?

Come on guys let's get this worked out...

After checking rates online, to stay onsite, I was wondering how many would want to pay $350-$500 per night, anyway. That is pretty pricey for me, just to spend the night somewhere. A couple of years ago we stayed in a Howard Johnson Inn, just outside the Biltmore gates, and only paid around $65 per night. It was an older property but had clean rooms that were larger than most. Pisgah Inn rooms are in the $85-$95 range if we would want to cruise the Blue Ridge Parkway also.
