598 miles and 10.5 hours from Baltimore. I plan on leaving around 5am Friday, getting there by 5:00pm. Ready to party. I remember from last year that they only sold beer and wine in that county. I wont make that mistake again, I'm coming prepared

And with the size of our group reaching epic proportions (I think it's REALLY GREAT!!!), it won't take long for word to get around about the XFire Group. Probably already has started. Pretty easy to get "labeled" as a potential nuisance (by local law enforcement) instead of a bunch a car enthusiasts just enjoying our cars, the local roadways and the surrounding topography.
So everyone travel smart coming & going on our scheduled weekend. And let's avoid any issues with local law enforcement during our weekend gathering. Weather is starting to turn cooler here and the fall colors ought to be really good starting in October.

I drove through some small towns in the Colorado mountains and there are plenty of traps just waiting for that one missed speed limit sign and the hidden LEO just behind it.

Well, I am confirmed for Friday and Saturday.... Sunday checkout. The only thing they had left was the Cabana room at 169.00 per night. OUCH! Oh well, it will be great to meet everyone even if my back pocket will be screaming. LOL

Kim, I agree with you. The Dragon with absolutly no traffic comming or going was insane. May not see thoes conditions ever again.
BMorgan, it will be great to see you again. You are in for a treat.
Looking foward to seeing every one there!

I do not want to drive straight through, that's too much for me. I will stay Friday to Sunday nights, leave on Monday and stop on the return trip again.
I will need to share or takeover a room from someone who will have to cancel, not because I'm coming I hope.
