As I did the past two times heading down to the Dragon
I'll stay Thursday night (Oct 29) at the Red Roof Inn - Florence, Kentucky.
Crossfirefrank, msgump, msxfire, Habor and maybe a few more will join me and stay at the hotel.
There is O'Charleys a good restaurant walking distance next door for happy hour and /or dinner.
Then on Friday morning we are also joined by tnn14 & James1549 .
We all leave for the 5 hour run to the Fontana Lodge with our first trip through the Dragon in route just before we arrive.
Anyone can come and join us for the pre party again this fall......
