    Additional Information

The nearest store/restaurant/etc. we know of is 25 miles away ; take heed McMuffin Boys. We will need to be pretty much self-contained on this one. The road going in is fairly new so Google and others try to route you up a NPS fire road, not for E30's; don't go there. The road in is 18 miles from US 441 (Cherokee, NC) up the Blue Ridge Parkway; there are signs.

    In that last PDF, there's a place called Starvin Marvins, we're going there.


    The Fuzz
    Beware, Troopers will most likely be out looking for dumbass drivers so please drive responsibly. Driving like an irresponsible idiot makes the whole group look like a bunch of BMW jackasses.

                  Maybe. We have to fix it first. The fuel pump shit itself at the campground RIGHT before leaving. It made it home but has now potentially died completely :(

                    Hopefully in the next two months you guys will fix it, along with 944's fender.


                    2 months seems so far away.

                        You should definitely do this at least once... You won't miss any others after that.. We have a lot of fun...

                          Well, my friend with 2002 is going. I told his to go, and he better. I'd also like a few other local e30 guys to go.
