Maggie Valley Stories thread.....
Have a story about what happened in MV? Unlike Vegas tell us what happened!
Here are small snipets from my visit to MV.
1) Yes...I brought my mom. And yes she had a great time.
2) Yes and No...Yes, I did drive the Tail Of The Dragon Saturday morning. No, my mom did not come...she said 6am was too early to get up.
3) Yes...I did beat my time on the Tail Of The Dragon from last year. I ran into nonce (I heard from CCF that nonce means zero ) other vehicles headed in the same direction as me in both directions. I was suprised to find out that running up AND down the Tail I had about the exact same time 19:30. I also had a total Round Trip time of only 41 minutes. My top speed was 57mph. Highest speed limit is 30 mph.
4) I wandered back down the Tail to "visit" spots I have only "passed" in the morning and in previous years. I passed an unmarked police car and a Sheriff...oh AND I passed an 18 WHEELER!...he was taking up half my lane and I had to move over till I was almost rubbing up against the cliff.
5) Yes...everyone got the signs they ordered (well except the one that didn't show up....I sold it to someone who really wanted one)
6) Yes...Wingrider was getting beat up by the purple group....but I think he enjoyed it anyway.
7) Yes...I told everyone the RED tickets were the winners...luckily a white one won something too
8) Yes...I had a "few" margaritas
9) Yes...the birds sing ALL night long, whether you are at Laurel Park Inn or the MVI
10) Yes...I met so many people that I, unfortunately, couldn't tell you the names or handles of some of them.
11) Yes...I played moderator and helped some people out....but I told them next time to ask for help BEFORE the Long Island Iced Teas....
12) No...I did not meet one person I did not like....and I didn't have to moderate anyone either

Hope other people have some better stories!
You could have stopped after number 1 the most important "MOM had a great time" Very sweet lady your a lucky guy!
There were sooo many great times at Maggie Valley! Everyone was great and it was fun to see all the things people had done with their R's!
One of the highlights was on the way to Maggie Valley in our little SSRavan from PA, NJ and VA, CrossCheckFreak let loose with his "big horn" in a tunnel! It was like a freight train was going to barrel down on us! It was soooo cool! Thank goodness he was restrained in the second tunnel when we were right next to a big truck... I think they would have freaked and we would have been the ones "crosschecked"! Thanks for that moment Steve!

True story
Friday nightI drove from our hotel about a mile to get some lottery tickets, (no winners). When I was coming out of the store to my SSR a guy from out of town stopped and asked" does everyone drive the same kind of car like yours in this town?" No kidding!

Problem - what? You're not close enough to the machine??
Thing is...I had my first Rita (ever) in MV. Repeatedly...from Thurs Pm to I'm still drinking. I might go straight to rehab and skip the preliminaries. Close enough to the Machine? I was drinking straight from the dispenser. I would have to get inside the machine to get any closer.

Omigosh. Do you mean that I really did hear BIRDS??? I thought I was dreaming at first, or maybe that would be a nightmare like that old movie , but then realized I was indeed awake, and thought I was hearing some really squeaky mechanical units!
But what about those chairs being knocked around in the pool area at 4 something in the morning Friday? Bears?

I guess I should have been more clearer...er. That only works when you're talking about how many times something happened.
For example, How many times did John go to the car wash?
A) Nonce
B) Once
C) Twice
D) Three times

How many Long Island Iced Teas did you have before you typed that?
