I will provide printed copies of this post at the Friday night drivers meeting at 9:00pm in the Fontana Lodge Lobby


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 the 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 60+ Crossfires in a continuous line (road blocked) to the Fontana Dam visitors center where professional photos are taken.
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 beginning with a trip 30 miles to Robbinsville for lunch.
Fuel is available in Robbinsville for those who need to fill up.
Then a run through the Cherohala Skyway (5400ft. elevation) and back around eventually back through the Dragon and back to the lodge around 5pm.

There is then time to freshen up and then come down to the Chestnut room at the lodge for our Halloween BBQ being sponsored by CICCI.
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.
