Marty Hill Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Since it will be my 85th birthday I would hope one of you youngsters could pop for a beer for the old guy. 4 Link to comment

RTinNC Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Lowndes reminded me today about START so what the heck put me down ... at least for now. Arriving probably on Thur. But heard Marty was buying fancy adult beverages on Friday so don't want to miss it. 3 Link to comment

F16Viper68 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 In for START 2021. Arriving Wednesday departing Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning. Dave... 2 Link to comment
OldBMWMaster Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I tried to make reservations; but no dogs allowed. They gave me the name of a place just down the street; but they are full. Ruger Roy Roustabout III is not happy. 3 Link to comment
Indy Dave Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 We do often have host lodging that have pet rooms, Maggie Valley Creekside isn't one of them, unfortunately! However, this is hope! When I google Maggie Valley pet friendly hotels, several option come up! https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=pet+friendly+hotel+maggie+valley&spell=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj9saTmlZfuAhX0dc0KHTnTDEoQBSgAegQIAhAv&biw=1280&bih=646 Link to comment

Then why the hell did you ask if one of the youngsters could pop for a beer for the old guy? You remain a mentor for us youngsters. I will turn 75 in June, so I've got a long way to go. I'm neither in nor out for START at this point for two reasons: 1. Called Jan 11 to get on a March waiting list for Coronavirus shots. They didn't say whether that means March 1 or March 31. 2. My mother turned 99 last September, fell on September 4, and her health has been going downhill. I'm living one day at a time, because my family situation could change on short notice. I really don't want to be an innkeeper/landlord, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. 1 Link to comment

Indy Dave Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 I will give Carol a call when I get home. This is a locally owned motel and this is the off season and help is hard to come by this time of year. We've stayed at this location before, and had good experiences. I thank you all for your patience. Link to comment
