I liked staying at th Ironhorse. It was great. Cabins were only $60.00 per night with two twin beds. That would be 30 per person if two people wanted to split it. I'm sorry, but I don't think I will be able to make this trip. I hate it, because I know this is going to be an awesome trip. Spend a week with some of my dearest friends riding the curves of the mountains and hanging out at night. I hope everyone has fun. I will be recovering from my Ireland trip. You know they have 1500 pubs over there....

Maggie Valley will be your best choice. The ride to the Dragon is on a very nice 4 lane highway most of the way with little traffic and very few if any stop lights.
I was up there last year at this time and the weather was perfect. Cool in the morning and warming up into the high 60's low 70's.
The ride through Georgia is not that bad since it is not getting very hot yet.
Many good rides in that area and the Casino is not far away in Cherokee for those feeling lucky.
The Motorcycle Museum is in the area to and is a must see.
Chaps and long underwear should be on your list of "must haves".

Since Todd and I have ridden the Dragon a few times now, we're up for staying in Maggie Valley although, the Iron Horse Lodge is really fabulous.

Hows the weather of there in May, would camping not be a good idea?
I've camped at Two Wheels Only many times. Good food at the lodge.
Great riding in all directions, it's right next to Wolf Pen Gap rd. a really good riding road. Nights in May can be cool, but that's good for camping and camp fires. Nearest beer is in Dahlonega, about 20 miles.

So has there been any concensus yet as to where most of the Crew is going to be based out of, i.e. Robbinsville or Maggie Valley?

Ha! Anytime you and/or Charley are passing thru, Todd and I will be glad to have you stop by for a visit and overnite in the guest room if you have the time.

I had suggested earlier that since many of the FL group will likely be up for a week that we spend several days in Maggie and then several closer to the Dragon area. I haven’t received much in response to that idea so far. I really liked the Iron Horse but for some of us that are going to be up for a week, the lack of cell phone service and in-room internet is a real drawback. It’s sad, but in today’s business world, even during vacation, many people are expected to stay in touch and with the job market the way it is even more important.

Based on what input there has been, I’m planning on the destination being Maggie Valley. It puts us in striking distance of a lot of good roads, has a good selection of lodging, restaurants, bars, cell and internet service, etc. After a few days there, if the group decides to move over to Robbinsville then I’ll go with the flow.

BTW: This is not MY trip, it's the groups trip, so if anyone has a better idea, Speak Up.

Anyone have any lodging recommendations in Maggie Valley?
