Have they set the dates yet?
-
There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I thought Gatlinburg was a great little town, but I did see parking a problem. However Pigeon Forge was a traffic nightmare and a tourist trap. I think Ashville is a little to far away if most of the events are in Gatlinburg. Stayed in Pigeon Forge Aug of 08 and drove to Ashville for my nephews wedding and I remember it being close to 2 hours by toy hauler, stayed in Bat Cave, NC. Perhaps going through the mountains would have been quicker. Had a great time at the 09 ride and would love to be back this year, but wedding weekend before and oasis of the seas week after.

I agree...besides, it is the evening socializing that makes the week. I wouldn't want to miss that for anything!!

Had a cabin in Pigeon Forge last year and man what a traffic nightmare, took us 1 1/2 hours to go 3 city blocks, the Rod Run Show was on that week-end, now know the back roads so should be better this year. Going and try to get a place in Gattlinburg this year .

Tudor inn has closed as a B&B but still rents rooms weekly
From SpyderTalk:
The Olde English Tudor Inn is closing as a bed and breakfast and will not be able to provide lodging for the next spyders in the smokies event... I am so sorry to report that Linda and I have no way of keeping the inn in this economy unless we make this change. I hope to always be somehow involved in this event and hope that you will all understand.
thank you
steve

:agree: Being able to walk down the street to the bar (and stagger back!) was nice. I can't wait to see what arguments you and Gene come up with this year!

AH Crapola! I'm still going to see if he has rooms for that far out.. maybe spring will bring a change. The Tudor Inn was Spyders in The Smokies best kept secret in my opinion. It needed some updating, but was very clean, private and Steve as well his family were superb hosts. It was also up on the hill off the main drag in Gatlinburg and had a long private drive... Secluded.
Bummer.
