Count me in and I am willing to lead another Cherohala/Bald River Falls/Tail of the Dragon Tourist run on Saturday and then "Michael's" Dragon with Waterfalls and a late lunch at Bogart's in Sylva for Sunday!

If it is possible I may be staying a little over to get some fly fishing in on the Cherokee reservation on Monday. If anyone has an interest..

14 cars already, that's almost 1/2 of what we sometimes get in total for a Spring Dragon and it's not even been a week since the fall Dragon ! !

Micheal, I will edit my post about "leaders" when I get time. I have a ton of stuff to catch up on - been in classes all week and stuff back in Atlanta is piling up on me.


Ok, signup list updated at 1150pm eastern time.
Thanks for your interest, everyone!

For the Fontana Lake boat cruise, they don't usually start until May. The captain of our boat this past fall stated that they would accommodate us if we call well ahead and make a reservation. Definitely worth the $16 or so for a ticket.

He also said they had two boats AND we can plan cruises for Friday and Saturday evening - so about 30 people could go.

That was a fun time as well. I plan on going to the Wheel through time museum this spring as well - THAT sounded really interesting.

Again, go-karts are available in the spring - boat cruises are not.
Its something about the lake level...

Yes I did! They looked good on your old car..

They look FANTASTIC on mine!

It's funny how being exact fit and something different was my motivation.. but man they look better on her every day.. Put my wire mesh lower grills on the wife's roadster and picked up the billets for mine.. goes real well together.

Hotel room booked Thursday to Monday. Michael i will print some maps for the waterfall run with mile markers so that we dont miss any. I am willing to take the lead when we get near the falls as i now know the locations (if you need me to ) . I dont want to miss out on the great lunch you all had at Bogarts this time.
