    BTW, does anyone know if there are showers available for the campers? I only stayed two nights last year and just went w/o. The GMHG website has no info on this.

    You are in luck, Turpin! There are showers which are in the woods of the far side of the reviewing stand. Hot water goes fast so be in line when it opens which if I remember correctly is 7. The showers are only open for a few hours which I think is 10 maybe 9. There are also some cold showers near by which are available 24 hours. They are indeed brisk.

    Try calling Jan or Frank Vance 828-733-1333. They have bee very helpful in answering my questions and actually called me. I'll bet they can tell you if there is space available

    I'll be going up tuesday - you're welcome to share with me if I get a large enough site. I'll bet they can squeeze you in though.

    I have called that number several times, and left voice mail, as have a few friends. No reply yet.

    Good Golly Gosh its almost here! I'll only be able to make it for the Saturday and Sunday still, but two days of Highland Games is still better than zero days.
