*The Ladies*

Current as of 10/29/09

I was informed that the lodge will not be opening the restaurant on Monday morning for breakfast.
They will however still be providing coffee.

They apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but wanted me to be able to relay this on to all who are staying on Sunday night.

 

 

I will provide printed copies of this post at the Friday night drivers meeting at 9:00pm in the Fontana Lodge Lobby


Friday
Some members will already be at the lodge or in the Area.
I will arrive around 2pm
People begin to arrive and check in to the lodge throughout the day.
Dinner is at 6 and 8 and I hold a drivers/members meeting at 9pm where I ask everyone to be present in the Fontana lobby.
I take attendance and go over the agenda for the weekend as well as handing out the time line with maps.
____________________________________________

Saturday
begins at 9:00am with the Crossfire line up at the lodge.
Then around 9:30am we take our convoy of 60+ Crossfires in a continuous line (road blocked) to the Fontana Dam visitors center where professional photos are taken.
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
We are usually there til around 11:30am and then divide into smaller groups for the remainder of the day beginning with a trip 30 miles to Robbinsville for lunch.
Fuel is available in Robbinsville for those who need to fill up.
Then a run through the Cherohala Skyway (5400ft. elevation) and back around eventually back through the Dragon and back to the lodge around 5pm.

There is then time to freshen up and then come down to the Chestnut room at the lodge for our Halloween BBQ being sponsored by CICCI.
We will start the grilling around 6:00 pm and should be starting to eat by 6:30.
Bring your own alcohol but soft drinks will be provided.

<< Saturday run here

_________________________________________
Sunday - A couple of choices.....
For those interested, beginning around 9am take a 2 hour trip to Asheville to the Biltmore Estate.
Map of route from Fontana Lodge to Ashville


or.......

A repeat run through the Smokey Mountains as we did in the Spring.

<< See map details

Dinner will be available back at Fontnan Lodge for those who wish to dine there.

Eventually all of us who are staying overnight at the lodge are again welcome to hang out in the comfortable spacious lobby and share stories and reflect on the weekend spent together.
This is just a general outline of the activities planned for our weekend GTG

Please drive safely and I'm looking forward to seeing you all there.

Gary

Count me in........

 

Tina and I will be joining up too!

Count us in. (Fri,Sat and Sun)

 

Look Forward to Oct, Put us on your List Ray & Susan Cameron

 

Count me in Gary. In fact, I've volunteered to lead the aggressive group. Jane deserves a break and to enjoy just "being along for the ride" for a while. So let me know if there's anything I need to do for that.

 

Gary,

Please add me to the list. Work kept me away for the Spring run but I am not going to miss the next one.

Stay safe...


Respectfully,


Paul (MisterTaz)

 

Roberta & I will join in this fall (FRI/SAT/SUN). We had a blast during the Spring event.

 

You can add me to the list, Gary.

I will be there Fri & Sat, and possibly Sun.

I'm already looking forward to seeing friends and making sure that the Dragon stays slayed for another 6 months!

Thanks, Jeff

 

I'm looking forward to hooking up with you, my friend!

 

Sounds good, Tom; I'll be right behind you.

 

I'm in, at least we will not have to be concerned with snow on the way home.

 

James & Tammi

Reservations made the day we left! Fri, Sat, Sun.

 

I'm in, not sure about the wife, it depends on how BZ she is, if not I will bring my Brother-in-law.

And yes I will bring the camera and the mount

 

Tom, Did you get Jane's permission yet. Man you are a brave dude taking on her role!

JK, James

 

As long as I don't have a broken arm or leg (I have a 6 spd) I'll be there. It killed me to miss the "spring" meet, but I was afraid I was contagious.

 

LOL Jane actually expressed to a few of us that she would like to have someone else lead...


Not sure if we are going to make the fall fun, I'll have to think about it.

BTW - whoever has a Borla on an 07, could you PM me the model number? Every search (incl Borla) results in no part number for the 07.
