The first annual Great Smokey Mountains AccessD Conference will be happening this coming Saturday at my house. To get a map to my house, watch for Wrap of course: http://maps.google.com/#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-ha-na-us-google-gm&utm _medium=ha&utm_term=map Type in 1723 Twin Pines Dr, Hudson, 28638. You should get right there. Of course things are never as they seem. There are really only two left turns coming south on Horseshoe bend road, the second is my drive. Just remember that. Hudson Weather. It's looking like high 80s over the weekend. I do have AC so we will be comfortable inside. http://www.weather.com/weather/local/28638 Anyone needing hotels: http://maps.google.com/maps?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official& channel=s&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search&um=1&q=hotels&near=Lenoir,+NC&fb=1&sa=X&o i=local_group&resnum=4&ct=image Alternately, down in Hickory: http://maps.google.com/maps?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official& channel=s&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search&um=1&q=hotels&near=Lenoir,+NC&fb=1&sa=X&o i=local_group&resnum=4&ct=image Food in Lenoir: http://maps.google.com/maps?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official& channel=s&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search&um=1&q=hotels&near=Lenoir,+NC&fb=1&sa=X&o i=local_group&resnum=4&ct=image Food in Hudson: http://maps.google.com/maps?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official& channel=s&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search&um=1&q=hotels&near=Lenoir,+NC&fb=1&sa=X&o i=local_group&resnum=4&ct=image Strangely enough (or perhaps not?), a search for "night clubs" in Lenoir, nc turned up nothing, but did show stuff down in Hickory, just south of us. I must admit I have not been to a night club since we moved here so I will not be much help there. http://maps.google.com/maps?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official& channel=s&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search&um=1&q=hotels&near=Lenoir,+NC&fb=1&sa=X&o i=local_group&resnum=4&ct=image Churches (lots of Baptists down here). You will always be welcome at my church, #B - Hudson United Methodist. I do have enough credit at this point that I can skip if the conference is still going on. http://maps.google.com/maps?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official& channel=s&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search&um=1&q=hotels&near=Lenoir,+NC&fb=1&sa=X&o i=local_group&resnum=4&ct=image General NC info: http://www.visitnc.com/tools_search_results.asp http://maps.google.com/maps?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official& channel=s&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search&um=1&q=hotels&near=Lenoir,+NC&fb=1&sa=X&o i=local_group&resnum=4&ct=image The plan is to meet at my home on Saturday, and Sunday if there is anyone still here. Anyone coming in early (Friday evening / night) is welcome to call me. 828-572-0120 is my business phone. I will be doing a BBQ Saturday evening after the conference. The usual suspects - chicken / ribs / etc. I am pretty good on the BBQ. I am looking forward to seeing you guys, whoever shows up, so let's meet and have a good time - no RSVP required, come on down.
