I forgot to let you know that I'll be there as well with my one and only Crossfire. Just settled with the insurance yesterday. Look forward to seeing you all.

Jane, hopefully you received a fair settlement. What day were you planning on heading down? Thursday? If so, we can meet you in the usual meeting place north of Evansville.

Itsky: I'll be able to meet up with you all on Thursday if we want to caravan over. Looking forward to that.

I do believe I got a fair settlement, except all the racing mods didn't count as the car was not insured as a racer.

I was just in Cleveland last week. You may be able to hook up (at some point) with the bunch coming from Michigan or the bunch from Ontario or James1549 in Cincinnati and not need to drive all the way alone.
Welcome to the best weekend you will have this year.

Nice! I just moved to Cleveland area, so it still seem to be a pretty crazy place to me.

10 hour drive, I'm thinking what time I shall leave Ohio....

Well, unless I meet someone before October, I'll be there by myself, probably...lol..

Are there any car washing facilities at or near Fontana Lodge?

Yea, I've used the hose behind the grill - hot water even!

(There is a formal "car wash" thing across from the grill, but it's cold water only).

I detail my car to the HILT about a week before, so all I need is some water, my towels, and maybe some detail spray and she looks like new again!

I am in - Got my Fontana room booked for Oct!

OK Mark - it’s time to see this pizzaguy again! (got the -10C Fan mod done on my SRT6 – even after 6 hrs driving the car just purrs like a cool kitten, temp needle stays below the red line unlike before the mod)

Just back from really really great 2012 Woodward Dream Cruise GTG.

Look forward to see you all, old and new friends!

The reviews on Trip Advisor for this hotel are all over the place.

Some say it's nice and "rustic" others say bed bugs , fleas, non working plumbing, 3 hour waits in the resturants.

What is you experience? I booked a 2 bedroom cabin and hope I'm not walking into a nightmare.

Thanks
Brian

aplusbrian, I've been there six times in the main lodge and have never had a problem with cleanliness. Is it a five star resort, no, but great for the price.

We have been staying here twice a year since 2007 with as many as 84 Crossfires present back in Fall 2010.
Never heard any complaints other than the coffee wasn't hot enough...lol
