Default 6th Annual Spring 2013 Tail of the Dragon GTG - April 5,6,7

SPRING 2013 Tail of the Dragon GTG - April 5, 6 & 7
Post in this thread if you WILL be attending please.



Come to the 6th Annual Spring 2013 CROSSFIRE "Tail of the Dragon"
Enjoy the accommodations at the Fontana Lodge in the beautiful mountains of Fontana Dam, North Carolina.
Enjoy meeting other members and some incredible driving in groups around the Smokey Mountains.



Fontana Village Resort in the mountains of North Carolina
(on HWY 28, 9 miles south of the Dragon)

Set your GPS to:
300 Woods Rd.
Fontana Dam, NC
This should bring you directly to the Fontana Lodge
==================================================

Just call (800) 849-2258 and ask for the reservations desk.
Tell them your booking with the "Crossfire Group" to be certain to get our group rate.
Our discounted lodge rates are $85 (with Our Crossfire Group discount)

Cut off date for this rate is February 4th so don't delay
After February 4th the room rate is $129

PET RULES AT FONTANA LODGE
$150 non refundable pet deposit
Yes I know this is absolutely unreasonable but that's the final answer from the director of operations
This has been a strict policy for 5 years now and has been implemented by the owners of the property
I'm sorry for the inconvenience this may cause some of our members but I tried to negotiate but was unsuccessful



Cancellation Policy
Reservations canceled more than 30 days in advance of arrival are subject to a $50.00 cancellation fee which will be retained from the deposit.
Reservations canceled within less than 30 days of arrival will forfeit the full deposit.
Please be aware that reservations that are shortened within the 30 day time frame will be charged for any days dropped.

Got to talk to the boss (aka Molly) since we are finishing our basement, adding a bathroom, and replumbing the whole house, I may have to hold off till the fall, much prettier in my opinion anyway.

I am going to try, but we will see.
