Rideshare Board

For those wishing to carpool to and from Swannanoa, we present this “bulletin board” as a way to bring drivers and riders together. All the info here has been provided by users, so the Gathering assumes no responsibility for its accuracy or for any travel arrangements negotiated between individuals. Having said that, sharing a ride might appeal to many who wish to save money and resources, and make new friends before they arrive. Here’s how it works:

List your info by filling out the form located here. When your listing arrives in our office, it will be added to the table below. Scan the listings and contact the person(s) you wish to ride or share with to arrange transportation. For your convenience, you can find maps showing our location just east of Asheville, NC here. Once arrangements have been made, each person involved please send us an email to gathering@warren-wilson.edu, so we will know to remove your listing.

Comments: ​Looking for friendly non-smoker to share ride and gas money for 8 hour and 381 mile trip from DC to Swannanoa. Because of other family obligations I will likely return on Friday, Aug. 1st.

I have a Subaru Outback. Depending on the size of the instruments and other luggage I can comfortably carry 1 to 2 adults. If someone is carrying a bass, then I am limited to one adult.

Comments: ​Hello...There were no takers for the long rideshare from New England, so I'll be flying in from Boston on 7/13; arriving to Ashville Regional Airport at 10:54 am. Wondering if anyone would like to rideshare from the airport to Warren Wilson College around that time (give or take baggage pick up or flight delays).
Also, looking for a rideshare to the Airport on 7/19 from the College. My flight leaves at 12;09, so would need to arrive at the airport by 11;00 am at the latest. Looking forward to a great week of Celtic music!!!

Comments: ​We don't need a ride back. We are hoping for a ride to the Asheville airport from the Swannanoa Gathering on Saturday, July 20 at around 9:30 am. Or if you are another person heading to the airport, we would share a taxi, Uber or Lyft.

Comments: ​Hello...anyone heading to the Celtic Week Gathering from the New England area and thinking about ride sharing? Just thought I'd explore this option prior to booking a flight to Ashville. I will not need return transportation since I'll be visiting family in South Carolina after Celtic Week. Looking forward to a great week filled with wonderful music and awesome people! Thank you,
Steve.

Comments: ​Looking to carpool to Warren Wilson from Durham, where I'll be staying with a friend. I could leave on the 12th or the 13th.

I won't need a ride back to Durham as I plan to just fly out of Asheville.
