Girlfriend Salma has a Hacienda in Veracruz on the beach, if mi Señorita lets us use her Villa for the EOM Banquet: How about EOM in Mexico!

While I applaud your efforts to get Lee in this conversation, who are you kidding? If you could not list way more that a dozen good roads out of Whytheville off the top of your head then you can take me to lunch in Little Switzerland.@spklbukI'm usually too busy to look at speed limit signs. Ignorance is bliss and all that.
Maybe Lee will weigh in on routes for Wytheville and others? Would be good info for decision making.
But we have to wait for his retiredness to stop riding every day!
Huh? Didn't you vote for Cumberland Falls!?Having food joints within walking distance should be put into the mix. Lewisburg provided this nicely, plus, a gas station w beer across the street was nice also.

All of the above are reasons why I suggested the Days Inn in Jefferson, NC. There's a restaurant on-site, a Mexican Grill within walking distance, a grocery store, fuel nearby... and the venue has catering/banquet facilities along with a huge off-street parking lot for socializing. It's only minutes away from Cherokee Natl Forest and even closer to the BRP.Johnson City TN has good hotel choices, but good roads all require a 45-60 minute initial ride out through city traffic in various directions. And JC also sits in a topographic bowl that either holds rain for days, or expels rain to the perimeter in all directions.
It's a complete and total shame that we've lost the hotel in Boone...
I hate to see EOM repeated so many times at the same place, no matter what the decision logic.
Personally, I'm not so quick to vote, but much more inclined to research and think a while. Hotel situations change often. The explorer in me really wants to see new places.
Perhaps the changing hotel landscape slightly to the south of JC, around Erwin has evolved? And if they ever finish that damn Burnsville bypass, aka 19-E, who knows what's possible!
Correct, I did change to that only b/c it would of been new [to me], plus, that in-house dining over looking the falls was pretty amazing.Huh?

But yep, the layout at L'burg is hard to beat.
Lisa- Sounds good^^ and these great choices are making me waffle my vote all over the place! lol.All of the above are reasons why I suggested the Days Inn in Jefferson, NC.

Can't advise regarding the off-road stuff as I tend to avoid that...
Are ye fecking kidding me Maun, that State is packed full of Goobers ese! JSNS, Hillbilly Heaven eh!Just throwing this out - what about Arkansas? A ton of great roads there. BBB 2016 is September 21-24 so would have to be a different weekend than that.
Fine...don't have an EOM there, but I can almost guarantee a fun filled weekend for you if you hit the Hooterville event. The only reason I can't guarantee that it will be fun is I don't know if yer a grump or not.I've been to Eureka Springs, Arkansas twice and felt the 2nd trip to the Ozarks was not worth the extra time to get there that I could have spent riding in the Appalachians. West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky are my favorite places to ride. If I'm going to go West of The Mississippi I'm going all the way to the Rockies and beyond.
