Looks like Maggie Valley is pretty booked up for that weekend and the rates are going up in Waynesville. I just booked Friday and Saturday night at the Days Inn West in Chandler, NC for just under $100 total. It's 21 miles from A Holiday Motel in Maggie Valley which isn't ideal, but on the other hand, I guess I'll be 21 miles closer to home on Sunday morning 
As far as I know right now, it's just me and my Rocket.

You guys must be rich, thats a lot of riding,, good for you
Nope, just save a few bucks here and there, clear all the gas cards, grab the visa and go. Pay it off for the next 3 years. Anyone want to put up some rag tag riders for a night?
Frank (a guy that was riding with us) just cancelled across the street . . . you may want to check again.

RAA Food Plans
Breakfast, can be obtained at the holiday diner or any of the many local Restaurants. There will be designated stops for lunch along the routes. All rides will depart by 9:00AM
I have also finalized the catering for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings meals.
Friday,
We will be doing a cookout very informal, Burgers, Dogs, Brats and fixings. There will be no charge for the food but donations will be accepted to help cover the cost. Any donations above the food cost will go into the RAA Beer Fund.
Saturday,
Will be catered on site at the holiday motel under the RAA Party tent the menu will be pulled pork which could be either sandwiches or plates (up to the individual) and pulled chicken for the main. The sides will be potato salad, cole slaw and baked beans. All real hardwood smoked and sides all homemade.

The Cost will be 13.00 Per Person.
Sunday,
Will be catered on site at the holiday motel under the RAA Party tent the menu will be fried chicken and sliced ham with the sides of parsley redskin potatoes with butter, green beans, sweet carrots and mac and cheese. And for dessert peach cobbler w/ ice cream. There will also be tea and lemonade available. The Cost will be 13.00 Per Person.
I have to provide an accurate list to the caterer 2 week prior with payment in advance so I will be coordinating the list and collecting payments starting April 1st.
Everyone is also welcome to visit one of the many local restaurants for the evening meal also. The catered meals are not a requirement just put together for convenience and safety of the attendees. I suspect the local restaurants will be busy due to the rally. Plus Not having to leave the premises to eat and party has its benefits, You can have a few drinks without worrying about Riding or driving. We will have a music system complete with MIC and Amplifier for those that want to entertain feel free. If you have music you would like to bring feel free the system will accommodate any IPod or music player.
Thanks again to everyone for the overwhelming response for door prizes and help with the cookout it is very much appreciated. If Anyone additional wants to provide a door prize please feel free to bring them, they will be put to good use.
