Re: 6th Annual Fall 2012 - Tail of the Dragon GTG - October 5, 6, 7
Gary, not sure if TJ and I can make it but was wondering if you are doing the overnight in Ky on Thursday and meeting up with everyone like always? Didn't see anything on the forum about it yet.

What's this about a CASINO??? That will make the trip even MORE interesting for me. 40+ years of playing blackjack and still working on perfecting my game. What's the name of the casino and where is it?

The casino is Harrah's in Cherokee......about 40 minutes from the lodge.

and here's a link to a map from Fontana Dam NC to Cherokee NC
Fontana Dam, Forneys Creek, NC to Cherokee, NC - Google Maps
Re: 6th Annual Fall 2012 - Tail of the Dragon GTG - October 5, 6, 7
If you use 398 Woods Rd, Fontana Dam NC (GPS address of the lodge) your mapping will be a lot more accurate.

I know we got alot new crossfire owners coming this fall, my need to get some name tags, for everyone for the frist night anyway,
Re: 6th Annual Fall 2012 - Tail of the Dragon GTG - October 5, 6, 7
For those who don't have a name tag may I suggest you make one that you can wear. (Screen name and real name)
We all gather in the lobby on Friday evening to kick off the GTG and most everyone also spend Saturday and Sunday evening together in the large comfortable furnished lobby at the lodge after dinner / dark

I'm in for using a washable marker and printing nick/name on forehead (but I aint going first!) LMAO
That would be a dragon to remember, it IS all about fun and fellowship and friends sharing a passion for our XF's

Anyway, I've got my name tag from Fall 2009 - the color of my Roadster is different, but I'm the same.
(Of course, I AM a bit different......)

We are actually having are our "Craft Beer Octoberfest" (not sure which night but probably Friday) where we are having all those attending who can bring at least a 6 pack or two of a local brewed beer in their area they are coming from to share amongst the group to try out. Yall are welcomed to bring some too and come down and join the fun if you'd like.
Re: 6th Annual Fall 2012 - Tail of the Dragon GTG - October 5, 6, 7
Anyone want a roommate for this Dragon?
I decided late on coming and I'd rather split a room with someone than pay full non-event price.
PM me if you're interested.

I help out at a friend's brewery (happened to win midwest brews cup the last two years) and LOVE this idea, although we will be in Vegas so we cannot make this Dragon. Hopefully next year, I would bring some world beer cup winners with me, only available in central Indiana
