re: 16th Annual Fall 2022 Dragon Final Event - September 29 - October 3, 2022
We now have solid plans for Friday. There will be Two big, full runs and two mini runs, this should accomodate all attendees on Friday.
1) Chimney Rock, NC - Dennis Leading. You must sign up and pay for this one before the event, link to this run is below. If you are not on the forum, message me here and I'll pass your info to Dennis - but you pay him directly and instructions are in the link below.
2) Skyway - Dragon - Mr Harding Leading (SRQFUN). The classic and maybe most popular run we have. You see the Skyway, Dragon, and lunch in Tellico Plains. Optional stops are: Bald Rive Falls, The Lost Sea, you can also visit a nice liquor store, supermarket and pharmacy. A stop at the Deal's Gap souvenir stores usually happens.
3) Road to Nowhere - Partrick Madigan leading. This is about an hour ride to Bryson City, then to the END of the road. On the way back, you pass thru BC again for optional shopping and lunch is either in BC or back at the Lodge (or in between!) Arrive back by noon-1pm.
3A) Dragon - Lookout Tower - Patrick Madigan leading. When his group gets back from Bryxon City, he will regroup in the Lodge parking lot for this run. You go down Hellbender to the Gap then down the Dragon and up the Parkway to the Observation tower. You then come back thru the Dragon, optionally stop at Deal's Gap to throw money into stuff you don't need but want, then back to the lodge by 430-500.
THE SKYWAY RUN will be REPEATED on Saturday, probably led by myself. We will probably have a Franklin/Wayah Road run and may have a Cade's Cove run as well as a Devil's Triange run Saturday as well. Sunday is always a question mark. Depending on who stays till Monday or later, there may be a long run that day as well, but there will certainly be several shorter runs that you can break away at lunch and head home, if you live within six - eight hours of the lodge.
There may be a "British Run" led by Zachary and there is talk of a "Cade's Cove" run as well. Im kinda hoping someone does the "North Georgia 8" thing as well.
