I have a room confirmed for April 5,6,7 - see everyone there !

BTW. I spoke with Teresa on the reservations, and the policy on cancellations is 30 days, not 90 days ......

The only experience I've had on The Dragon meeting a vehicle not suited for that stretch of road was a couple of years back. Coming home from Alcoa, TN I took US129 back to US28 and then home. Met a police escort for a mobile home on The Dragon. Cop warned me that the rig was probably a 1/2 mile behind him and to make sure I didn't meet the rig in a curve. Since I wouldn't be able to see him far enough ahead if the curve was a blind left-hander, on the next short straight section I came to, I pulled over to the shoulder and just waited for mobile home to pass me.

Last fall during my 4 runs ( actually 2 - I'm counting both ways ), I saw 3 motorcycles off the road in a ditch.

Look forward to seeing you both! I meant to ship something to you for Christmas, but I was afraid it would have been broken, so I will deliver it in person.
