Default Re: Tail of the Dragon 2017 - Friday afternoon BBQ in Franklin

Jim and Trish are semi-retired after doing real-estate and internet business in Florida for years.


Jim loves to flip houses and after many years bought the mountain side in NC and moved into a cabin at it's base. Our first gathering was at that smaller cabin. If you wanted to walk up a very steep mountain side, we got to see the first bit of construction then.


Two years in the making, he designed and built the very unique Chateau.


The lower deck in the second image was built specifically for the Crossfire gatherings.


A family crisis last year, forced the cancellation of the meet. I suspect Jim and Trish will go all out this year.


Jim and Trish love to entertain. Everyone is welcome, especially new comer's. The gathering is intimate, relatively sane, and open to quite conversations to meet new friends. A great way to start your memorable Dragon weekend.. So, if you are new to the Crossfire group,,, don't be shy. The More The Better!!!!
Weather permitting, it will be a great day in the North Carolina woods.
