Thanks for organizing this Colin. A thankless task, but we appreciate it.

[Yukon]

Seriously debating ALF vs Mexico time and money!!! I know both would be a blast. ALF may be more doable this year.

I'm booked at the Sweetwater KOA again this year. I'll be boating Saturday through Wednesday, and hopefully will be back the last Saturday / Sunday.

[bkirkland]

It will be our first time going down. Hope to meet lots of new folks and see familiar faces.
Appreciate any advice on where to stay.

Bill,

The King's Inn in Lenoir City is a motel just across the road from the Shoney's where alot of people meet in the morning to figure out what is running and who is going where. This is a good location if you want to do the Shoney thing each morning. There are a few other motels in the area as well.

A bunch of us have also stayed at the Sweetwater KOA down the road from Lenoir City. The KOA has campsites and cabins. In the morning we either drive to Shoney's or make our own plans.

Other people may chime in here as well. I know people stayed at other places I am not aware of. Last year Alex Varga opened up his place to camping, but I have no idea if he is doing that again.

Bill - like Gord said, if you're looking to camp, the Sweetwater KOA is a pretty good choice. Typically a bunch of folks stay there. It is 19 interstate miles from the Shoney's everyone meets at. They have hot showers!

[TNbound]

Tandem class for the tellico race?!
Now, to convince someone to boat with me.... This is going to be awesome.

I may not be able to make the Telico race on the Sunday, but really want to paddle that river.

Any chance a group would want to paddle it a second time during the week?
