We tried to get to the Grassy area by the Dam in the Spring, the gates were locked...

Either view looks outstanding.

Just an FYI for those that haven't reserved a room yet, I have one available for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I made the reservation early on and totally forgot about it when I talked with MisterTaz about reservations so we both have rooms with two queen beds if anyone needs to find someone to split a room with out there. I figured I'd just keep mine since I'm sure someone will need a place to stay if they decide closer to the date to come join us.

PM or email me (rudy@jr-industries.net) or MisterTaz if you need a room. Neither of us bite so let us know. I can cancel Sunday if it's not needed without penalty if I know at check-in so either way works for me.

Thanks and look forward to meeting more great people.

That would be cool! or even replicate the XFI logo fo old time's sake!

Got all of your blood pumping too didn't I?

I will have the camera, and I will do custom leads or follows on the Dragon on Friday Morning only!. PM me and I will schedule you in, I can't do more than 6 or so.

For those of you that weren't the Spring Dragon, I have a camera mounted on the drivers roll bar on my car, and can point the camera in any direction, so I can film following you, or you following me. I can do groups too, but limit it to 3 or less for the dragon.

=)

Gary, I'm going to work up an alternative Sunday for drivers that want to stick to the area around the Dragon - maybe reversing Saturday's route . . . or going up the Foothills Parkway, over to Townsend, Pidgeon Forge, follow the Great Smokey Mountain Parkway down to Cherokee, and find some lunch around there.Then down to Franklin and follow Rt. 28 back to the Lodge.

I'd be in favor of running the Spring's Sunday route (or Northern Route as I called it in the attached file).

That sounds like a nice run also.
Please be sure to print off maps to hand out at the drivers meeting on Friday night at the drivers meeting.

Good call Tom, we are not going to Biltmore and would rather not drive several hours away when the dragon and all those twisties are right there....

You just call the lodge yourself before the cutoff date and mention "The Crossfire Group" for the $79 rate.

The cutoff date for discounted rates for this fall has already passed and reservations for next year can not be made yet.
Reservations for this fall can still be made but at the cost of $109.00 + tax
