Ron, I will be there if Im breathing and no bones are in more than one piece. But you know you are letting yourself open to all the criticism by some of the negatives here. You have treated me right every year I come through there and as long as I am hiking I will make the Haven Motel a definite stop. I will call later to make a reservation when I get closer to Franklin. May the Lord bless you and yours with a very happy and prosperous new year.

Thanks Digger but I have a clear frame of mind that We all here try to help hikers with the very best of our ability
year around.I know there are other places well praised on here that do far less than us.I know a few critisize me who don't even know me.My opinion
is what we do wins in the end. Maybe they won't be to hard on me.Possibly
I will get some pointers on something we can do to better serve our guest.
But anyway"the fiesta I believe will be great,It was last year"I will Look
forward to seeing you there.Ps bring some friends.

Ron do you remember which hotel I have a room reserved in for April 1st? Looking forward to seeing you again!

**Teatime** · 03-16-2006, 02:06

Ron is da Bomb! Wish I could be there.

**Bassline** · 03-16-2006, 02:57

Ron is a terrible person. I did my best to have a "wilderness experience," and he ruined it for me by showing up at a shelter with 6 pizzas and a cooler full of sodas. In all seriousness, I had a fun and memorable stay at the Haven. Ron does good things for the hiker community. It is all good.

Greetings from Gatlinburg. Hope to get backdown your way for the 1 April Bash. Should be out of the Smokies tomorrow.

**Sly** · 03-17-2006, 17:12

Water under the bridge. I think everyone that has actually met Ron, knows better by now. He's gone out of his way consistantly and has been most generous.

Anyway, I hope to make it down if I can get the day off.

**tiamalle** · 03-17-2006, 21:28

Pirate,we will be looking for you,and Sly I have a couple of doctor friends and I'll have one of them to write you a lay out of work permit,
