Maybe a bit of an exageration, but not a bad credo to live by. Nazerak here, and of course I'm excited, since this gather is basically being held in my backyard, so to speak. The Great Smokey Mountain National Park is an excellent place to hold it though, if I do say so myself. The link above will give you a bit of information on the park and a little taste of what it has to offer. My job is to present that here, but it never hurts to give references. *grin* Anyways, I will present a quick list of things to do in the park until I can compile a comprehensive list of activities we will be participating in at the Gather so I can show you where the are, display maps, etc.

Features:

• Hiking (LOTS of hikes... just check the above link)
• Shopping (Area has a few New Age shops, as well as one in particular that is about half, yes half, dragon statues.)

• Scenery
• Me. Come on, you know you can't resist my wit and charm. *evil laugh*
