Wanderlodge Gurus Rally in Asheville NC, Oct 3-8, 2013

Thanks guys and gals, that's an awesome response.

Itchintogo... you called that right! What do I know about putting together a Rally, well I guess I'm gonna learn, or my wife is! LOL

Seriously guys, I'm really looking forward to meeting you all. I've already met many of you, and some of you I feel like I've known forever even though we've never met. I really am looking forward to this. It'll be a blast!

Really the best time to put on a Rally here in Asheville NC is during the Fall. The colors are phenomenal, the weather is cool and dry, but everyone knows it and they want to be here so we have some crowds, nothing outrageous but it is a popular time of year. Anytime in Oct the foliage is phenomenal, the last week is probably the best. There's a good six weeks of great color starting in Oct and ending the first couple weeks of Nov.

Summers are always great. Temps are 15 degrees cooler than the rest of NC, but it's still pretty warm, but nothing like Charlotte, NC. Late July will be in the 80's with moderate humidity. It's really a very nice time of year. Turns out this year Suzana and I will be in Asheville during late July which is the week for Bele Chere 2013. Bele Chere is very worthwhile. That would be 7/26 thru 28, but we can keep the rally going beyond these dates.

Or, we could do Summer this year and Autumn next year? I like the idea of letting the Rally date float around a bit. It's good cause Asheville has much to offer all year round.

During the summer and autumn months there's almost always something going on in downtown Asheville - almost any date is good. For Suzana and I, springtime this year is too hectic, and I do want to get out to Durango in the early part of the summer. Arcticdude (John) mentioned that August is tough due to his son's wedding (Congrats!).

For this year, I'd recommend around Bele Chere (Late July), or October for the Autumn Foliage. Love to hear what you guys think
