Plan to meet at the lodge anytime on Friday or no later than 9:00 am on Saturday morning.
We all proceed to the Fontana Dam as one large group leaving the lodge by around 9:30 this year.
The Fontana Dam is only a few miles away.
Once leaving there we divide into smaller groups and spread out a bit more for our full day route plan.

Y'all will never guess where I am writing this from...

Fontana Village Lodge! Yes, at that lonely single computer in the lobby.

Don't get jealous-Tina made me drive the friggin' TAHOE up here. Like navigating the QEII around these curves.

Shoulda' TOWED the Little Red Buggy. Dang it.

Well, Max, now's the time to strap Tina in the rear seat & see just how the Tahoe drifts around those turns !
On second thought, maybe that's not such a good idea 'cause we'd really like to see you there in fall.
On the other hand.......you only live once!

2 nights here and 2 in Ashville for some "Belle Chere" artsy-fartsy show to appease the women.

I'll try to hook up with Jeff Cobb while I'm there.

700 (?) Miatas coming this weekend. Just in time for some t-storms.

The Lodge is EMPTY during the week.

And I've already spoken to everyone I know here. They've re-done the little building where we (everyone else) had the cookout last fall. Gameroom, Cardroom. Pretty nice I've been told. I'll check it out today!

Later, Max

Update---------------------------

Ok, I was wrong. The building that was redone is the indoor pool building. It was filled in and remodeled.

Better make sure your shirt is clean. I'd hate to see you covered in suds.

After breakfast, I walked outside to admire the Miatas, and lo and behold:

A Black Base Roadster. Virginia plates: JTK 4624

Anyone know them? I put an invitation card under the windshield wiper.

And,

I just spoke to Tim at the front desk, and he told me that only 18 folks have registered under the "Crossfire Group" header for the Fall Run.

He asked me to remind everyone to make sure you tell the reservations desk that you are a member of our little community. It's the only way you can receive our discount!
