This is just a general outline of the activities/routes planned for our weekend GTG....

Revised routes planned for Saturday and Sunday due to the closure of US129 near the Foothills Parkway.

The Dragon is said to be open to run the 11 miles/318 curves but closed beyond that at the north end.
So ya turn around and run back through the 11 miles/318 curves back toward the lodge/Deals Gap.

Friday
Some members will already be at the lodge or in the Area.
I will arrive around 2pm
People begin to arrive and check in to the lodge throughout the day.
Dinner is at 6 and 8 and I hold a drivers/members meeting at 9pm where I ask everyone to be present in the Fontana lobby.
I take attendance and go over the agenda for the weekend as well as handing out this time line with maps.
____________________________________________

Saturday
begins at 9:00am with the Crossfire line up at the lodge.
Then around 9:30am we take our convoy of ALL our Crossfires in a continuous line (road blocked) to the Fontana Dam visitors center (3 miles) where professional photos are taken by US129photos.com

We will have a few folks directing you in to the parking area and assisting in getting all our Crossfires parked nicely and evenly to provide a good photo
We are usually there til around 11:30am and then divide into smaller groups for the remainder of the day.

Our route begins with about a 49 mile run to Franklin and then a 47 mile run to Robbinsvillle.
We can have lunch in Franklin around noon or Robbinsville around 1:20.
Then a revised route back to Fontana Lodge due to the closure of US129 "The Dragon"

There is then time to freshen up and then come down to the Chestnut room at the lodge for our BBQ.
We will start the grilling around 6:00 pm and should be starting to eat by 6:30.
Bring your own alcohol but soft drinks will be provided.

[Iamfink2]

[oledoc2u]

Gary. Looks like I will be in FL the week before, so not sure I can take off anymore time...might be able to roll in late Friday night, but would have to leave Sunday...makes for a long weekend for a guy who already is on the road all week...I think at this point, I will have to pass, but will be there in the fall....this is a great time for those who haven't made the trip....spring is grt...a lot of cars and bikes, and grt people in XF's...so see you in St Louis and the fall meet...if not before...
