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: ​Hi...I am wondering if anyone is heading down Route 26 on Saturday? If so (and you might have space) I'd greatly appreciate tagging along to anywhere around the Greenville/Spartanburg area to save my wife the extra time and miles driving up here to pick me up! I have 1 suitcase, a small backpack and my fiddle.
Thanks so much!
Steve Dempsey.

Comments: ​After Celtic week, I have an ungodly early flight on Saturday morning, leaving at 5:20. That means I'll be departing Warren Wilson College at 3:45 am or so. I doubt anyone will be driving out that early, but should anyone else have an early flight, we could share a cab.

Comments: ​Hello!
My bodhran was stolen out of my car and I won't have one when I arrive to Celtic Week. Is there anyone who might loan me a spare for the beginning bodhran class during Celtic Week? Or bring one to sell me? I'm so sad that I lost my beautiful instrument and still want to take the class. Thank you!

Comments: ​Hello there, This is not exactly a RIDE request but thought I'd post this. I wonder if there's someone who is going to pick up a guitar rental at Acoustic Corner in Black Mountain who might be willing to also pick up my guitar rental while there? I am attending the Celtic Week camp from July 14th - 20th and the Guitar Week from July 29th - August 3rd so will have the guitar a full three weeks. So, likely I am looking for two different people to help, one on either side, since it may be rare to find someone with the same schedule. I'd be so grateful! Thank you!

Comments: ​Hello. I'm hoping to find a ride/share a ride from the Ashville Regional Airport to the Swananoa Gathering. I'll be flying in from Boston on July 14, landing at Ashville Regional Airport at 12:00 pm (Jet Blue) to attend Celtic Week. I'm not looking for a return ride to the airport after Celtic week, as I will be heading to Inman SC then (but if anyone is heading in that direction after the end of Celtic week and wants some company...please give me a call)! I will be traveling with my fiddle and as little luggage as possible (small checked bag and maybe a backpack)... so looking forward to a full week of music!!!
Thank you,
Steve Dempsey.
