Pre-conference Activities
Pre-Conference Dinner, Sunday, June 26
A YAPC::NA tradition (as is the vegetarian Anti-pre-conference-dinner). Let's start the discussion. James E Keenan (kid51)
Hiking
I'm planning on hiking in the area on Saturday and Sunday, and camping on Saturday night. I'll post more when I have time to research the area. If anyone's interested in joining for any part of this or if you have suggestions, please post here. By the way, I teach workshops on foraging for edible wild plants and mushrooms. —Nova Patch (patch)
Hiking in AVL
There are many places to hike around Asheville. The Blue Ridge Parkway passes through the Asheville area. To the south on the BRP, Mt. Pisgah... to the north, Craggy Gardens. There's also some good hikes around the NC Arboretum, which is not too far from the Conference site, and has a very nice Bonsai exhibit. Rick Bolen
Camping near AVL
Lake Powhatan Recreational Area is adjacent to the Arboretum. It has a nice campground. Rick Bolen
A Drive
There's a nice ~30min drive (or biking loop, time ?) on the BRP from US70 east of AVL (Tunnel Road) north to Town Mountain Road which returns to downtown AVL. You could also extend this the drive nearer the Conference and had north until Town Mountain Rd. Rick Bolen
