Speaking of distractions, now that Kim and I are married, she has resorted to new distraction methods while occupying the copilot position. So if my times on the Dragon are a bit slower than last year, that's my scapegoat.

Made reservations last week while in Fontana. They have a new fire pit with seating for approximately 20 or more. Went all the way to Fontana and never hit the Dragon........Was driving a crew cab one ton Ford.

OK, the wife has decided to come. She was wondering if anyone was planning on going to the Biltmore estate? Also, is anyone planning on arriving on Thursday evening?

Saturday's route B Devils Triangle
Guys this is a long day, but it's well worth it for those of you who like to drive your cars moderate/heavy. We'll start out at the damn as always, eat lunch on the otherside of Cherohala @ PizzaHut (guys who were with us last spring will remember the wait staff lol, I'm sure they're still there. Where else would they work in that town?) From there we head to the Triangle. After the triangle stop at a fuel station for a breather and water/restroom break. Then it's a quick trip to the Dragon and home (Fontana). Expect to leave out from the Damn @ 10, eating around 11/11:30, and we should arrive back at Fontana around 4:00.
At the moment it's Jason/Kyle (Jason_HBC) and myself. When we reach 10 cars for this journey we will start to split the group. With the distance we will be covering it's hard to keep 10+ cars together. It's not necessary to sign up on this website if you want to go on this route. It would be helpful though.

I'm also working on a new Friday route. If you're going to be there expect something abit different and be patient with the possible wrong turns. We're always looking for new routes and Friday's seems like the perfect day for exploring.
