Roberta & I think the lodge is one of the Carolina Smokies "best kept secrets". You'll both love staying there. We do!

 

Kevin and Olga here...... first time XF meet attendees, also. I'm hoping that Olga will let me drive her 'Baby' on some part of the trip!

See you there! Kevin.

 

made my reservations today. now comes the hard part, the waiting

 

I have added the following members
64) dgsppikes (Tom & Deb) Mount Sinai , New York - '05 Blaze Red Coupe (FRI, SAT)
64) fastforfun2 (Jeff and Yvonne) Simpsonville, South Carolina - Black SRT6 (FRI, SAT)
65) Stargazer (Kevin & Olga) Winter Park, Florida - "05 Areo Blue Roadster

 

Hey Gary, have you figured out how to line up 60 some odd Crossfires at the circle at the DAM so that it doesn't look like a LA freeway?

 

Well it will start out like this and then hopefully we can keep them parked nicely around the inner circle.......
Bring your best wide angle lens

Fall 2008 - 39 Crossfires at the photo shoot

 

On the left, number 2 and 3 from the end, are those both red Roadsters?

What do I see? Could it be?

.....Wha.. wha... what? My car is not unique? I was thinking my car was the only red Roadster ANYWHERE!




(Sure was a pretty fall day, huh?)

 

Gary reservations made for Thurs, Fri, and Sat nights and if its works out with work I may try and stay Sunday but not sure yet. The lodge said I could add Sunday night at the same price if I decide to stay. This will be my 5th Dragon see you all there.

 

That is my least favorite gathering at the dam....it was horrible for a photo-op....but still impressive to see that many together. Let's don't do this again.

 

Yep, one of those is mine! All mine...

The near one, next to Jane B.!

 

And another one is mine (second one in the middle row).

 

The cool looking one next to ,the other cool looking one is mine (ours)!

 

We will park them nicely and spend more time doing it this time.
Not another California freeway traffic jam photo...

 

Yeah but, if you look real close there was one guy on the far left who evidently had the right idea
or just wanted to stand out from the crowd !

 

The Italian Traffic circle did not seem the best way to view all the cars. But it did seem the best way to get them all together "in that circle"

With more than 60 cars, we either have to invent a better way to press them togther, or find a different spot.

The biggest problem, in my opinion, was the inability for those who wanted to 'git' to find a path out of the mess. I agree with Danimal, it is the worst event of the gathering to endure, yet it wouldn't be the Dragon meet without it.

Ideas anyone?

yes, see if the lodge cares, weather permitting, if we can organize at the cookout in the grass by the inn..it seems to run a little up hill, might be able to stair step the cars in a tight group instead of spread out...just an idea...and another photo op...

 

To do it up right, we almost need everyone to surrender their keys and have a couple people artfully park the cars in a nice pattern. During the cookout would be ideal timing, as people are not driving or itching to go somewhere else.

That said, I'm pretty sure most people aren't gonna cough up their keys. It's a shame too, since some people can't even back into a parking spot straight.

Hmmm... what to do, what to do?

 

you and I are the only ones itching to go somewhere.....LOL can I bring the slicks....

 

 

As I remember, a cop came thru and didn't say a word...nice guy...love that top view...we have enough now to do the X F in the grass....
