I just saw some information about the Thousand Trail VIP program.(may not be

together and would like to take trips more often. What is that program and
did I see transfer fees of hundreds of dollars and then ...

I ran acros this in a non-RV forum and thought it sounded like a
place RVers might like to visit if around NC:
"...the Folk School is in Brasstown, NC..., is about 2 hours from any
major city. In the mountains of North Carolina. Beautiful country.

Saw a billboard that said:
