RE: Foxrun
My guess is the major reason II values Foxrun so highly is that II has very few resorts in the North Carolina mountains. Of the resorts they do have, most (including Foxrun) began as RCI resorts and have since become dual affiliated. When resorts become dual affilated, typically the vast majority of owners stay with the original exchange company. As a result the new company, which is mostly II in North Carolina, gets few deposits.
At the same time, II has a huge membership base in Florida. Lots of people in Florida (and other states, too) like to vacation in the mountains. North Carolina has the closest mountains to Florida. This creates a large demand, but II has a very limited supply. It therefore follows that Foxrun has pretty good trade power.
Also, having been to Foxrun, I have to say that the area is absolutely gorgeous and the resort is very nice. It's a place worth visiting...even though it is a bit isolated.
