A few of us are working to put together a small and affordable event in the North Carolina Mountains. Tents and Touge will be the first weekend in June. The campground will be exclusively ours (though it is not exclusively a FiST event, as I've invited my friends in all types of cars). It is just five minutes from NC80 (The Devil's Whip), and 10 minutes from Bat Cave Road. We checked out the area, and it will be great. It will only be open to the first 40 cars to pre-pay their tent sites. We have a wonderful host for camping, so even if you decide to stay somewhere else, you will need to pay the very cheap camping price to participate. (20 bucks for two nights)

Even though it's camping, it's not really like "roughing it". The entire town of Marion is less than 5 miles away, so you don't need to pack in food and supplies. Just a tent, sleeping bag and whatever you would take as "carry-on".
This is a "gathering" and not a true "event". There is no sponsoring club, and no organization getting proceeds (other than Porsha, she owns the campground)
More questions? Ask me.
Thoughts? Post them.
This is what you really want.
