The wife and I plan to leave Charlotte around 10:00. That should get us to Asheville around 12:30, I think we will grab lunch when we get there. With the wife being pregnant, I am afraid for my own well being if we wait to eat lunch till 2:45. @weejub if you are eating at White Duck we might get up with you there. I figure we can all meet at New Belguim at 2:45 for some afternoon drinks.

Patrick - We will be in the area from 1215 or so on - maybe text me when u get in, or if u end up doing something else? 913 908 8690
 
I will be at NB around 230-245 probably earlier but I have a call at 2 and will be doing it from the car. My cell number is 828-460-6507 Josh
 
We are meeting at 9am Saturday correct?

Awesome - see ya then!
 
Yes sir - today's activities are not part of the normal trip.

You are of course welcome to drink beer with us today too :)
 
We prepped yesterday from 5 AM until 4:30 PM when we left . . . finally. Wife (Heather) was also cleaning the house as we went . . so .. . not good for being on time :) I also finished the truck wiring - so not all her fault, hehe. We spent a lot of time packing the truck for the first time with the new Bed Slide, so hopefully we have a plan going forward.

Thu and Fri are kind of anniversary days for Heather and me as we (I had to) cancelled plans last month.

We ended up getting in around 10 PM to Asheville. We called Marriott on the way and they gave us a military rate of $107 at the Renaissance - so we took it. They will also provide that rate tonight (after I asked very nicely vs $349 they quoted), so I took that too, and my "shame" is to post it here on these boards :) - - especially given I have 4-5 days of gear and supplies and a lot of food ready to go to camp LOL. Part of my punishment is to go see what we are missing at Mt Pisgah Campgrounds this AM :)

We hit Pack's Tavern for about 30 mins before it closed - had a couple beers.

Today we are getting a few supplies and meeting everyone!
Cant wait to see all the new stuff in there! I was prepacked from last weekend, so just put the boxes in the truck in an hour last night. All I need to do is get food, ice, and throw in my David Attenborough Collection Resortwear gowns. Good to go.

@weejub We'll need to grasp a beer next week so you can give me any tips for the trip.

I'm headed west Thursday with Isla, so any thoughts on places to camp/stop with her will be appreciated.
