CaptRehkopf,
I will be following your BRP route a day after you pass through. My intention is to arrive late Tuesday or on Wednesday before noon at the Rally. Have a safe trip.

My wife and I will be hitting the BRP Saturday morning but will be at the north end by noon Sunday. We're going to visit her family in Palmerton PA for three days before the rally.

I'll wave if we pass.
I'll be in PA Sat, DC Sunday, heading toward NE TN Monday, just riding Tuesday...back to PA Wed.

Mac,
Saturday I start out in Athens TN, ride the Cherohala west to east, Deals Gap east to west, Foothills Parkway south to north, then through the Park and camp at Mount Pisgah Campground Saturday night.
Ride Safe,

It sounds like you have a nice route planned. We're starting in Atlanta about 5:00 Saturday morning. I would like to spend more time on the parkway but can't this trip.

I've never stayed at Mount Pisgah Campground, we always go to Blue Ridge Motorcycle Campground on Hwy 276 between the parkway and Waynesville NC. In fact, we spent Saturday night there just three weeks ago.

On our way home from the rally we'll spend Sunday night at Willville Motorcycle Campground which is just off the parkway in southern VA.

Gail,

Look for some YBs in TN on Monday. We will be in Maggie Valley, NC Sunday night. Going through the Great Smokey Mtn park, Cumberland gap, and onto Grundy, VA on Monday night.

I'll wave if we pass.

This night at Rocky Knob, you might consider as an option, Willville Motorcycle Camp at Meadows of Dan, just a few miles before you'd get to Rocky Knob. Very nice campground, might be a few dollars more than Rocky Knob, but the company will be more moto-friendly
Willville is on US 58 just 3/4 mile west of the Parkway ramp.

I too like the NP CG's but in this instance I would prefer Willville, and I have stayed in the CGs you named many times.

Why? Showers, you camp on grass instead of gravel, etc and you camp on a babbling brook. It is $15 but you're helping out a small business man.

I cancelled my reservation in Hillsville, so my wife and I will stay at Willville on the way to the rally and back. Like you say, I'd rather give my $$ to Will than Super 8.

My friend and I stayed there this past friday night. First for me but not for him. Excellent experience and Will is a gracious host. Had the fire stoaked just in time for a visitor with a guitar to belt out some classics, but i'm not sure how the conversation ended up on the subjects of time continuim and quantum physics???
