It was the last missing piece in the puzzle. The lodge is on 12 acres, secluded in a beautiful part of the county - we can raise a ruckus and there will be no neighbors yelling "not so loud". There are a handful of private and semi-private rooms and a couple of "bunk rooms", the place sleeps 24 or so and perhaps we can squeeze a couple more in. If you're a camper, you can camp on the grounds as well. THIS IS WHERE THE PARTY (PARTIES!) WILL BE. A great deck, hot tub, full kitchen and dining, grill, a big great room downstairs for song circles, several other gathering spots too. The Swamp Rabbit bike trail is a stone's throw away, bike rentals are available. Many other outdoors activities very nearby. The Bunk room beds are all XL twins and very comfortable - I gave them a test rest on Friday. They'll run about $30/night per person, That's where I plan to hang my hat as sleeping is typically what I do the least of at a fest. There are still some beds available in the "bunk" rooms and in the Furman Cottage which I have also booked on the same property: http://www.vrbo.com/625099 If you don't want to stay at the Lodge or Cottage for whatever reason, that's cool as there are nearby hotels: Sleep Inn ($67.00/night - 3 miles away from Lodge) https://www.choicehotels.com/south-carolina/travelers-rest/sleep-inn-hotels/sc031 Hampton Inn ($119.00/night - 1 mile away from Lodge) http://tinyurl.com/lv3grcw There are of course a plethora of other lodging options available. Downtown Greenville is a world-class destination and if you want to stay there (15-20 minutes from Party Central by car) I can help you pick a spot. I'm assuming we'll schedule "brunch-type" meals in the mid-morning so we can get a little of what everyone wants to eat. Should be able to accommodate a variety of tastes. Will also plan on stocking up on alcohol to avoid having to pay bar prices as well. I'm still working on details but here's the tentative schedule, with LOTS of free time available: NOTE: The weather will be warm and there are many many different things to do, dependent on your interest. We can get more into that later. Thursday September 3: First JMDLer's arrive, gather at the Lodge for music, chill and grill. I realize that people will be arriving at different times and that's cool. I'm happy to pick up at GSP Airport and shuttle folks to the site. I'm not sure who all will be driving in and how many vehicles we'll need. Friday September 4: "Country Day" - there are lots of nearby parks, hikes, etc. We'll do a dinner meal at the house and then a house concert featuring JMDLer's and Kimberly Ford performing her Joni Tribute show. Saturday September 5: "City Day" - after a mid-morning brunch, those who wish can check out a variety of the features of Greenville's beautiful downtown. Bohemian cafe (Downtown Greenville) hosts Laurie Antonioli and Band and dinner there as well. Sunday September 5: Have not made any definite plans for Sunday - I know that some folks will be taking off, but the area lends itself for offering us PLENTY to do. Downtown Greenville (15 minutes or so away from the Lodge) offers museums, the renowned Falls Park, many many other options. I have some connections to get some live music to the Lodge as well. LOTS of possibilities! New: I'm thinking about doing a Biltmore House tour on Sunday for those who are interested: http://www.biltmore.com/ I can get discount tickets through Fluor so if there's an interest we can make it work. As you can see it's pretty fantastic. Bob From: lcs4bike@yahoo.com To: "Bob.Muller@fluor.com" , Joni List , Date: 07/17/2015 08:30 AM Subject: SC Fest Hi Bob! This has been a summer of travel for me going first to Iceland and then spending close to a month driving as far north as St. Anne du Beaupre near Quebec City as part of a bucket list of a cousin who is like a sister to me. I want to make my next adventure the SC Jonifest!!!! I have a close friend here who loves music and is interested in making the trip with me. I'm still waiting to get my teaching schedule. Do you have a file you can send me of the fest itinerary of what is happening what days and lodging information for late comers so I can share it with her? I'm sorry if you already sent out this type of info and I missed it. I am way behind on reading email after being gone so long. Thanks!!!
