Box pleated kilts in the XMarks tartan??

I would love to attend. Trying to convince my wife...

Tell her its a Mecca for shopping.

You go to the games, she goes shopping.

I'll be sportin' my new X-Marks T-Shirt. So look out.

SB,

I can just hear the conversation:

ME: I'm running out for some groceries

WIFE: Oh, pickup some laundry detergent and fabric softener

ME: Sure

WIFE: How long will you be?

ME: Oh, not long, about 2-3 days (runs out the door!)

WIFE: WHAT!

Bumping this thread. Anybody else going?

Looks like I will be batching it for the weekend. In-law's are in town, so I will drive down Friday after my daughter's recital. Will get in late. Can anybody recommend a campground not too far away?

Thanks!

Can anybody recommend a campground not too far away? Thanks!

Are you thinking RV camping or tent camping? The games website listed
Twin Creek RV Resort:Enjoy your stay for the Scottish Festival at Twin Creek RV Resort. 3 minute trolley ride from Resort on Highway 321N 800-252-8077.

And I'm sure there is KOA somewhere nearby. Maybe....
And tent camping should be available in the GSMNP.

I'll be staying at the Sleep Inn down the road from the games Saturday night.
We're not leaving until Saturday morning. We should get there around 10ish.

I would love to go to Gatlinburg...I tried to steer my family reunion there a couple of years ago but the GDFL's* wouldn't buy it.

I'll broach the subject with the family....doesn't look good for road trips this year, though.

Best

(GDFL = Got Dam Flat Landers....most of them are from Kansas and Nebraska (and not the hilly parts, either.)

Ok, I'm bumping this back up to the top. The games are a week away. People have mentioned on a couple of other threads, that they are coming to the games. Can we get a roll call of those of you who are planning to come?
And some ideas of a time and place to meet. Someone mentioned Matt's Museum tent, but I don't want to volunteer his space, but if he's cool with it, it might be a good spot. We should just come up with a time. And let's quote a time in the Eastern time zone (local time in G'burg).
I'm looking forward to it. It'll be my first time at these games. If you have an XMarks T-shirt, wear it if you can.

I'm going to be there. We may have about 6-8 in the crowd, but I may very well be the only kilted one.
