Re: 7th Annual Fall 2013 - Tail of the Dragon GTG - October 4, 5, 6
If you find driving to North Carolina is a bit to far or you don't have enough time to make the drive
consider flying into McGhee Tyson Airport only 51 miles from the Fontana Lodge where we all stay.
Nice small airport with rental cars available.
Fly in and rent a car and drive just 51 miles to the lodge and join in on all the fun.
There are always passenger seats for you to ride in and we would love to have you.
You don't even need your Crossfire to have a great weekend at the Dragon.
Airport link: Knoxville McGhee Tyson Airport

Re: 7th Annual Fall 2013 - Tail of the Dragon GTG - October 4, 5, 6
Why did I just get a picture of you in my mind with a life jacket AND water wings when on a float trip?
Re: 7th Annual Fall 2013 - Tail of the Dragon GTG - October 4, 5, 6
You gotta come now, and see that picture realized!
EZ PZ run over to Springfield and then shoot east o nUS 60 to Highway 181 at Cabool.
Highway 181 ain't the dragon but it is a hoot.

Re: 7th Annual Fall 2013 - Tail of the Dragon GTG - October 4, 5, 6
The only thing holding up a room reservation is the daughters due date.. she's right at the 1st of june..
Re: 7th Annual Fall 2013 - Tail of the Dragon GTG - October 4, 5, 6
Agreed.
Sadly, I won't be able to make it this year. I have the 1/2-mile competition in September, and in mid-November I'm going to Austin for the Formula-1 race.
Kim only allows me so much play time
Everyone stay safe, I'll be there in spirit.

Thanks to all for the thoughts and prayers. I am sitting in the chair beside the bed typing this. So I am sure all your prayers have made the difference. The Doc was happy with the veini he harvested and the start point and the target point for the by pass. When they listened to the blood flow in my foot in the recovery room I heard someone say in a loud voice listen to that beautiful music. Praise the lord!!! I believe with Gods help I am on the road to a full recovery.
Re: 7th Annual Fall 2013 - Tail of the Dragon GTG - October 4, 5, 6
Count us in. We had so much fun that we can't wait. Jack is mostly grey already so a few more won't matter. Maybe I can teach him how to drive the Dragon?
Re: 7th Annual Fall 2013 - Tail of the Dragon GTG - October 4, 5, 6
This is AWESOME!!!!
