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

Just a few pictures of what you will see at the Dragon in a few weeks , Just Friendly reminder to all that our coming a few rules of the road never cross the yellow line in the hills tight curves and not seeing around corner is why we never cross that line , Drive with in your means or comfort zone , if some body riding your tail get over a let them pass (NO BIG DEAL HERE YOU WILL FIND THAT HAPPEN ALOT AROUND THE AREA ) it nice thing do and most people wave at you and say thanks .for the new people and I think there about 22 of you remember jump in and say hi, most of us already know each other so introduce your self and make life long friends and have great weekend , with this big of a group it hard to get know every one so don't feel bad about it, Come and have fun and great time and learn what your Crossfire can do , The Crossfire was made for this , so put the wing up and come and have great weekend with all of your nutty Crossfire Friends , See at the Dragon , ( Ray & Susan Cameron )

We did not gather email addresses this time. It was just so much work (mostly it was work getting people to respond.)

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!

Paul

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.

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...

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?
