Well THAT sucks. Time to re-plan for next year's trip, then.

Lane--you are right--that really does suck.

I, for one, always enjoyed the Tail of The Dragon event and would vote for returning to that same motel and schedule as before. Plus it's a l-o-t closer for me and others from TX. LA and so forth.

Sad to hear of another fine establishment succumb to the hard times in this economy!

having had my own business for 25 years it would be a bitch to give it up. I have done real well up till about 3 years ago and the business just DROPPED off to almost nothing.
The only reason im still in business is that i own the commercial property its on free and clear. If i had to make rent payments i would have been outta here for sure.
January is showing more life and in the last 2 weeks we have done suprising well.

I'm in my fourth year as a one man business owner hauling auction/insurance vehicles to the NJ Ports for export to overseas buyers, I was hesitant about starting up a business as things were beginning to tank in the economy. Found that what I do is not effected by the economy, have a steady flow of regulars and new customers.....knock on wood.

"The Fiddlin' Pig Sucks".

I'm still trying to get my brain around that statement.......

........I'm tryin..........

Glad we got the opportunity to enjoy what it was, before the loss. We had a great time eating and watching the cloggers work their magic. Guess there is not much demand for mountain culture in the mountains. Shame.

Scott, Sandy said she has some special cheese from Italy for you. We will bring it in a cooler next year if you guys are going.

That's awful. Really enjoyed it last year, especially sitting with my dinner dates.......Lane & Leon
