Scared the crap out of us both.

How and when do we access the individual photos? Does anyone know yet?

Great seeing everyone again, and we hope to stay for 2 days in the spring.

Thanks to all, Max and Tina
WOW...
Glad you were spared from a serious wreck.
As for the pics .......
I will be posting any info on this thread as soon as it is available.
I have contacted us129 and will be waiting for his reply.

But we had 70 while looking at snow on the ground at 5960 feet high. Great site while riding with your top down.

Good morning everyone,
It's another beautiful morning here in the mountains.
Some are heading home and several have decided it's just to nice to leave and have made plans to stay another day and night.
We have another drive planned today to Cherokee and across the Smokey Mountains over to Gatlinburg and on to other places to complete another 100 mile+drive.
There have been hundreds of pics taken by the 43 members who came to this meet. Just keep following the thread as I am sure once people get home the galleries will start filling up with them.

I will also post the links of the professional pics taken by US129 as soon as they are available.

Have a great Sunday !!!

Valk

I wish I could have made this. We ran the Dragon a few years back with a group of DeLoreans. I'm curious, how do you make the run? We went early in the morning before much traffic and sent a car a bit ahead with a walkie talkie. We'd be warned of approaching taffic and when there was none we could use the whole road to make the most of the run. It's a great rush, hope to make it next time.

Glad to hear everyone had a great time and there were no more casualties from the Dragon. I wanted to thank everyone for all the help and kindness. We ended up trailering the car back after going to the dealer because they deemed the car unsafe for any long haul. Hope every one has a safe trip home!

Hey Guys, got home a little after 4pm. The whole way back I was wishing that I had stayed for another day!!! It was great seeing old friends.....and meeting new ones.

If we could just get liberty1 to keep all the snow up there this winter....just maybe, spring would come a lot sooner and we will be back at the lodge before you know it.

Gary (Valk)...thanks for all your hard work. It was the best ever!!

John (Toy)...what a great group leader!!

Jane...OMG!!

Lisa (msxfire)...thanks for the ride and conversation (I'm over my image limit...what's that about???)

Will post pics when I get unpacked and unwind.

Hey, just wanted to let everyone know we made it home, after visiting my granddaughter.
We had a blast! Enjoyed meeting everyone.

Max, Thanks for the capacitors and info!

I just went to Killboy.com and he already has some great photos of everyone coming in Friday up on his site.

Thanks to all for a great weekend.

Really sorry I missed it. I managed to make the first two, but had to work both fri. and sat. On the plus side, I put 3 DUIs in jail! Hope everyone had a great time!
