Jameson is really only good for about 40-50 cars. Jameson is only a 67 room hotel.

I'd imagine we'll see 100 or so at DBR... which is still way too many for any of the Alcoa hotels except the Airport Hilton.

- Well I heard one of the main complaints with the cabins were the fact that it was a dead zone in regards to cell phones.

Then again, I also knew I'd have no cell phone while there and made my calls while in town.

I made my calls from the General Store...having been to the area before, I knew there would be zero cell service. I just bought a $5.00 LD card and used the pay phone. Funny thing is, if all the peeps that complained had planned a little better, or looked closely at the website for the Village, you would have had no problems. I stopped and bought food, drinks, supplies like soap, dishwashing liquid, BEER, papertowels, BEER, snacks, BEER and some BEER.

I had no problems with Fontana and will go back in a minute.....Anybody else ready????
