Begins at 8:30am with the Crossfire line up at the lodge.
Then around 9:00am we take our convoy of 80 Crossfires in a continuous line (road blocked) to the Fontana Dam (across the Dam) where professional photos are taken by US129photos.com.
We will have a few folks directing you in to the parking area and assisting in getting all our Crossfires parked nicely and evenly to provide a good photo
