Your cabin campgrounds on 555 Will prosper ! if we shut down The road for races weekend to weekend for qualified trails and a second time weekend to weekend for races . we need to get a petition made to sign . I think we can pull race off it's near laid-back towns versus trying to pull off a race near a bunch of stuck up places. After the first race season they will realize revenue from small town businesses doubled that year and it's Worth it to them to have a section of road shut off for two weeks out of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawlins87 Posted June 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Anyone know the backstory behind Fontana? I hear they built all the cabins and such for the workers when they built the dam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I heard that's why Tapoco Lodge was built as well, because of dam/bridge construction crews needing shelter during the projects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more of a motel-like setup, but each room has an attached bike garage, a breakfast/dinner steakhouse on site, laundry, 19 rooms available. $80/night http://twowheelinn.com My first trip to DG was when the two wheel inn was new. It's a basic room, but what else ya need? Nice paved parking. Think there is a new restaurant next door now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely different construction techniques back then. I don't think I've seen a building in Fontana Village that dates back further than the 60s.
