Glad to hearNot an ONSC member so I don't satisfy the criteria of your request, but we are from the region.
Bride and I will be attending. We opted to stay at the Hampton Inn at Pine Grove.
I will check around for NC plates at morning line up.
Glad to hear
Not far from the camp grounds
We usually eat in downtown Pine Grove at O'Neals at least one night
The Pine Grove Diner is also a good spot for breakfast before hitting the road for AOAA

Bummer on the failureGood meeting you guys... my Lx made it home woth no issues... got her tore down today to see the mid shaft snapped... camburg dosent want to replace it cause it's not on a tundra... so I just went ahead and ordered RCV'S... looking forward to the fall crawl
The list of requirements, additional waiver and bs you have to go through to use "mammoth" is ridiculous. I'll probably never go on it myself, let alone ever back to aoaa.
Again, this entire list and associated waiver is just for that one trail within aoaa.

This explains the series of locked gates that we passed after whale back. We also viewed a portion of Mammoth from the overlook and I think we were at the final exit further down the trail.
Being a wimpy pup, I know that I will never be attempting Mammoth myself. But limiting access does not seem like the best business model in attracting interest and traffic to Mammoth. To illustrate my point; at Tellico, we would park and walk over to watch the show on lower 2. Developing viewing access (opportunities) of Mammoth seems like a basic for the trail. [i.e., you gain paying customers that just park and watch without increasing congestion on the trails for other customers (seems like free money)] They invested time and resources in developing Mammoth, so they need to attract drivers to the trail and foster viewing access to recover their investment. At least in my assessment ...
