The Michigan crowd is looking good. The ZdayZ food is ... ahem .... so-so. But let's be honest. That's not why we're going. I might be willing to cook a dinner one night for all the Michigan folk.
I am heading down, but I will be tralioring the car. Need to find a nice tralior, anyone know someone local with an enclosed tralior?

The Willows are great. I had one last year. It's a great deal for what you get. The couch is not a pull out but still comfy. I think the Willows should be right around the corner from our villa.

I stalk the Z forum still like a puma... I just lay in the shadows. lol
I have a 2 bedroom Hemlock... a bit bigger than I wanted so its on call to switch to a Willow like usual. It was my fault for waiting so long but I didn't know if I'd have a homie to join me. But I got my buddy trev... who's 6'5.
My Exige won't get up the hills with him and I both in it lol.

Dil -- Let me have a second shot at that camera work, there'll be no technical difficulties on my end this time around. 
Everyone -- I do have 2-bedroom Willow booked and would like to fill it up if anyone needs a place to stay.

I checked my reservation and I've actually got a two-bedroom Laurel cabin. It's 1-queen and 2-twin beds. Total cost per night is $129 (it may jump to $139 on Fri & Sat). There's some photos half way down on the link below:

Let me know if you're thinking about going since I would really like to get at least one or two people to share the cabin with.

By early April, we'll start a list of people going and who is staying where. So don't let go of any cabins. I have no doubt we'll book up all the space. If not, you can open it up to the general forums and folks will be killin each other to score a place to stay.
God Bless ZdayZ. What an event.

I still haven't got a cabin or room anywhere lol... Probably just get a single room in the lodge at Fontana... If none are available oh well I'll sleep in the Z, afterall it's called zdays, why not feel ONE with your car lol.

Pack a sleeping bag and pillow. We'll find a spot for you. A couple of these guys have cabins and need room mates. (See previous posts)

I'm currently on a business road trip thas taken my down to Newberry South Carolina. Just East of Knoxville, I-40 closed down towards Asheville due to a rockslide so I was forced to take a different route headed back North.
For the first time, I took I-26 from Asheville headed North. I absolutely fell in love with this route that I took some video to show you guys just how beautiful the route was. Now keep in mind that I am recording video while driving a crappy rental mini-van. I wasn't trying to go fast so you can imagine this would be fun in the Z.
So it's got me wondering how we can alter the caravan's route coming back to take advantage of some of these beautiful roads. (Sorry this is 4 minutes long and the music was kind of loud. I just quickly grabbed the camera when these hills first came into sight. Extra points if you can name the song and artist)

I drove I -26 to and fro Asheville last summer when we stayed at my Father-In-Laws in Johnson City. Nice drive.
I think it's Genesis....tell me I'm wrong before I go digging through my cassette tapes.

Here's the video from back in the day when bands made production quality music videos. Good music for a long road trip ... unless you're sleepy. LOL

That's it. Robert Plant - I think I had "Now and Zen" on cassette. Truth be told, I pitched my cassette tapes. Wife talked me into it a few years back, using the argument "we don't have cassette player so what's the point!" So for the sake of saving space, out they went. Two months afterwords, we bought a new '07 Murrano SE with the Bose Sound system which, for some reason or another, included a cassette player! So now we have a cassette player and no cassettes.
My main priority is the Air Strip Event and cruise the dragon a little.
