Dudes - Anybody have any extra-curricula activities in mind for the 10th Dragon, e.g. sunset cruise, Maggie Valley M/C museum, Biltmore, etc...? Still on the fence attendance-wise.
My plan would be to drive straight thru Thurs & return Mon.
Thanks.

Friday we will most all go to Franc's friends for the free (and great) lunch.

On Saturday, we will have five runs - I say that, cause we have 50 cars and more than 10 cars in a run is a mess. Saturday will feature:
  • At least one Skyway Run
  • At least one Franklin/waterfall Run
  • PROBABLY a run to the Wheels Thru Time Museum
  • Maybe the new run that Jonathan has designed
  • Maybe a run to Devi's Triangle
  • Maybe two runs to one of the above routes - depends on interest!


Sunday is up in the air , cause some are leaving but I can see no less than 3 runs that day and these are the most likely choices:


  • Wheels thru time
  • Skyway
  • Waterfalls near Franklin
  • Devils Trigangle
  • Road to noWhere




If we do two SKyway runs, I think one will go to the falls and one to the Lost Sea. I do know that I want to see the Wheels Thru Time Museum and was thinking of doing that Sunday as I always do the Skyway on Saturday. But again, we have no less than 50 cars coming so there WILL be 5 runs on Saturday.

Appreciate all the responses guys, and just to be clear, I'm not taking a "Tell me what activities you have planned and entice me to go the Dragon" approach. I've been to a bunch of Dragons, and I know how much fun they and you all are (although my batting average with the weather hasn't been the greatest). All I was doing was checkin' to see what you had planned, since most of you guys are already pretty shifty.

I'm out-of-town till Sun/Mon, but will know for sure next week.

Mark - I don't see any PM's, but no need to send any. I can tell from the thread there's a lot of good stuff going on.

Thanks Dudes!

Ok, pay attention Harbor!

Here is what Tammi has planned for us on Saturday:

Tuckaleechee Caverns ? Townsend, Tennessee | Atlas Obscura

It is about an hour and half drive to the Caverns from Fontana. Cost is $16.

Easy drive to and easy drive back. We may come back a different way.

If anyone wants to join in, you are welcome and post here.

James

PS I am still looking to buy some Toonies from our Canadian friends!

Add me to the list, arrive Friday and depart Sunday. I don't think I'll be able to join everyone at Francs.
