Question: Zdayz website has a schedule with the 19th 12-6pm. But after speaking with Fontana Village. They don't want people check into the rooms till around 4pm. Anything going on the those 4hrs? Most of you showing up in the morning or afternoon?

 

im leaving west virginia prolly 8am friday morning hoping to be there about 2...figured I could goof off for 2 hours around to kil lthe time for check in

 

Solution. Buy six pack. Put on swim trunks. Drink 4 rapidly then get in floatable and travel the tiny lazy river setup in one of the pools with last two beers in hands.

Time will fly by lol

 

^^you sir have a good plan...hotel haz lazy river??!!

 

^^ Yes. A lazy river and a pool. There is also Disc Golf on the grounds.

Seriously, you will have plenty to do before getting your room. Explore the area in your Z. Make a run to Robbinsville to get supplies. Troll around and check out the other cars. Make use of the car wash area and clean up your ride. Go for a swim. Grab some lunch at either of the restaurants. Hit the general store / ice cream shop. Bum beer off any number of people standing around. Go check in at the ZdayZ registration table.

You can seriously fill up a whole day before you even check into your room. Check at the Fontana desk when you arrive and they may have your room ready early. The first year I came there, I think I checked in around 1:30 and the cabin was ready.

 

Plus they have wifi in the lodge area.

 

The air strip event will be going on, as well as many of the finest roads in this side of the country are almost always open.

 

question...anywhere to really grille out if stuff is brought?or is it only the resturants there?dumb question probably..

 

Definitely. I brought a charcoal grill last year and we just set it up in the yard/driveway of our cabin.

 

yea i think most of the cabins have a grille outside iirc.

 

sweeeeeet....cant wait to meet some of you guys ive seen posting for years now..hahaha...I just lurk most the time

 

Cabins have fire pits, but there is a grill by the picnic area in front of the dining hall.

 

ah ok^^ i knew i'd seen some around, thought they were at the cabins tho... it'd make sense that they aren't to for fire safety reasons

 

Safety smafety.

I was dumping c16 into our fire pit last year.

 

^^wants to have abeer with the guy throwing C16 in the fire!!LOL...I wish DavidC would be coming...so we can reburn a Turtwig...or whatever that thing was.

 

yea, while i was trying to sleep cause i was sick just mere feet away inside the cabin which was precariously close to being set on fire by yours and sharif's pyro-crazed antics

 

Woo, just got my vacation cleared at work. I'm finally gonna be able to come this year!

 

awesome!

 

You'd be disappoint if you didn't come.

 

Agreed. So is there any more rooms in the "main" hotel everyone is staying at? I've never been, going with a few friends...Trying to figure out which hotel to stay at...
