A little guide for those not familiar with the area:

Most young CEGers tend to favor the Tellico Plains area at the entry to the Chero-Hala Skyway. Great driving as soon as you leave the parking lots.

Friendly management and a picturesque backdrop consisting of the Tellico River & the foothills of the Smokey Mountains set this KOA site apart from any others I've seen. They have tent sites from $19 & sleeping cabins for up to 4 from $35:

For those who prefer something a little less rustic and close to their CEGer friends at the cabins, try the local bed & breakfast, $80 double with breakfast included:

Robbinsville, NC is at the opposite end of the Skyway, at the very tip of the Dragons tail. Probably the most popular stay for the motorcycling crowd and PLENTY of choices to fit most any budget. National chains to mom & pop BnBs, but I have not stayed there myself - yet:

Best Western Sweetwater, TN located off I-75 at Hwy 68 about 30 minutes from Tellico Plains is one of my favorites because I like to warm my engine up before I cross the Skyway & tame the Dragon â?? not to mention the indoor pool & free breakfast buffet. Not just toast & bagels, but bacon, waffles, 7 kinds of juice, just about everything you can think of. Can be a budget saver if you bring the kids, and they will take small pets too $60-$80 per night, internet rates may be available:

Add your suggestions to this thread if you wish. Perhaps we can start a dinner/hangout planning thread too.

Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
