Just over a month away! Looking forward to another great event with the Crossfire Family.
Will there be a compiled agenda of options available again this year in advance? Also, the instructions about use of radios', etc. sent around last year would be a great reminder for everyone plus a necessity for any newbies. Looking forward to seeing anything that can be made available in advance. I'm planning on coordinating a couple optional cruises as well, which I'll post at some point.
Thanks

Once we settle on content, I will post here and on Facebook and come up with a way to distribute it all. I MIGHT, considering this will be a three day weekend, get it all done this weekend.
Stay tuned.

Thanks Pizza and Ala-XFire.
I'm also offering up a few options which are somewhat variations on some of the options, but also provide more details and specifics on places we may be stopping along the way. I'll post those in the coming week. Hope the weather was like last year. Amazing weekend!

I have edited the attendee package four times the past six weeks. I just added PNA's contribution (really good job on your maps, Paul!)
THe current version is still only a concept, as you all know, weather, attendance, interest and other factors determine what we do, but the package is still a good starting point.
Just remember to check the whiteboard in the Lodge Lobby often for changes, updates and reminders.
And remember there are several "sticky" threads in this section of the forum with Dragon information and advice.

Anyone who wants to go to the Dragon who has no reservation is pretty much in "You are too late, must suck to be you " status.
Well, NOT SO FAST - there is this website: www.airbnb.com
Click, put in "Fontana Dam, NC" and "October 5 to 8" and see what you get. THere are just a FEW options left, within a few miles of the lodge. (Two weeks ago, there were five times as many).

Any Scotch snobs in the group? Not necessarily "snob" but just like it. Maybe we can get together for a short tasting.
Re: 11th Annual Fall 2017 -Tail of the Dragon GTG - Oct 5,6,7,8
I think you will find a few takers,but I will most likely be tasting a good Bourbon
Re: 11th Annual Fall 2017 -Tail of the Dragon GTG - Oct 5,6,7,8
Cold an flu season is upon us. I believe Mom said, " scotch for cold an bourbon for flu" or something like that...

Our saying goes,"If you don't like the weather in E. Tennessee,, stick around , it'll change in about 30 mins!". Hopefully that will be our case in a couple weeks...
Re: 11th Annual Fall 2017 -Tail of the Dragon GTG - Oct 5,6,7,8
I'm glad we got all bugs covered,we should stay good and healthy whole time we are there

Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so
That's not what I wanna hear Joe
Ain't I got a right to know
Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so
I'm sure they telling us lies Joe,
Please tell us it ain't so.

Note that Thomas Kraussman ("Tom") and his wife Karen will be in separate cars. She has decided to bring her Mustang. This means she will have to be on a separate line?
