RideShare
Board
For those wishing to carpool to and from Swannanoa, we present this
'bulletin board' as a way to bring drivers and riders together. All
the info here has been provided by users, so the Gathering assumes no
responsibilty for its accuracy or for any travel arrangements negotiated
between individuals. Having said that, sharing a ride might appeal to
many who wish to save money and resources, and make new friends before
they arrive. Here's how it works:
List your info by filling out the
form located here. When your
listing arrives in our office, it will be added to the table
below. Scan the listings and contact the person(s) you wish to ride
or share with to arrange transportation. For your convenience, you can
find maps showing our location just east of Asheville,
NC at the bottom of the page. Once arrangements have been made,
each person involved should send us an email by clicking here,
so we will know to remove your listing.

Willing to pick up folks en route between Washington and Asheville
- precise departure times can be worked out later. I drive a non-smoking
vehicle. I have a Toyota Camry, should be able to accommodate most small or
medium sized instruments. |

Comments: Live in Northern Virginia? I would welcome company on the long
trek to Ashville. I have room in my Prius for 2 passengers with luggage
and instruments, and possibly 3 if your instruments are small. A donation
to the gas fund would be appreciated, but not required. Non-smokers only,
please. |

| Comments: I would like some company on the ride from Chapel Hill for dulcimer
week. Anyone from Raleigh, Durham, Hillsborough or Pittsboro welcome and we
can meet somewhere convenient. I have a Lexus sedan which doesn't get great
gas mileage but is very comfortable to ride in, and a great collection of
CDs for the trip. I can accommodate more people if instruments are small.
Gas contributions would be welcome but not essential, I'm more interested in
good company and a relaxing drive. |

| Comments: I wouldn't mind driving to the Traditional Song Week at Swannanoa, as long as I had others with me. If you could drive a stick shift that would be even better, and also help defray the costs of gas. I was about to buy a ticket on Greyhound, but thought I would put this up here first. Or if any one else is driving to Trad Songs or Fiddle Week, and you are on the way from Pittsburgh, perhaps we could meet up, and go the rest of the way together |

| Comments: have a Honda Civic, which seats 5 but would be more comfortable with 4, especially if people have large instruments. I myself will be bringing a fiddle, which shouldn't take up too much space in the good-sized trunk. Riders willing to share driving time, gas money, music, and conversation are welcome. |

Comments: I will be leaving Asheville for Clifftop the morning of August 2 (5
hour drive). I can take 1 or possibly 2 non-smoking riders. I'll have a
rental car - I always ask for an economy or compact but never know what I'll
really get so if it's 2 people the instruments and camping gear need to be
small. |

Nashville aroune 10:30 AM Sunday morning. We're both fiddlers so we're not
using up all the trunk space with instruments. I could return Friday night
if someone could share the driving, but otherwise plan to come back Saturday
morning. |

| Comments: Flying into Atlanta? So am I and I'm looking for either a) a
carpool or b) anyone else flying into Atlanta who might want to share the
cost of a rental car (not that expensive). My plan is to arrive 07-12-08 so
I can depart anytime 07-13-08. I'd like to return to Atlanta 07-19-08. Let
me know if there are any other folks trying to come up w/an economical
travel plan and maybe we can come up w/a creative solution. I have small
instruments and a good sense of humor. Non-smoker.. |

| Comments: I will be happy to contribute gas and any needed assistance
driving. We have one car and an antique pick-up that cannot be driven as an "every day" vehicle. Thus, I'll need a lift so that my hubby will have a
vehicle to use while I'm gone. Hope someone will be heading over from
Asheville or Hendersonville who won't mind sharing transportation. I'm a non-smoker, and I will have 1, maybe 2 guitars. Thanks! |
