I was just wondering do we have a general list of people attending between the forum and Facebook? If its just the people listed on here this will be the smallest Dragon event since the beginning in 2007.

Looks like Charlie and I will probably blow into the lodge together.
On the up side, I may stay till Monday morning now.
I take it that the personal conflicts are due to a multiple personality disorder and Charlie is your other self. Is he the one who wants an SRT?

I've been too busy to keep up with this. Sorry all, but 14 rooms were reserved middle of last week but I've not had time to reconcile who is who.

With Facebook, we are getting a lot of people that don't ever join or post here.

I will TRY to call the lodge tomorrow and get a current list and then get with Gary and others to figure out who we have coming.

Ok, did what I could. The attendance list is as close as I can get it right now.

I believe there are two or three more reservations, but I cna't check till next week.
Looks like my prediction of 15 to 20 cars is gonna be about right.

Given that it is Easter weekend, I know that our group will be smaller than usual, and that appears to be the case for the Gens and of course the Harley groups.
I anticipate the usual Easter-weekend-lull, not a bad thing when you are on the roads.

I doubt this is big news, but it is news. This will be my car's last Dragon and probably my last spring Dragon as well.

I will be living in the Dallas/Fort Worth area by June. I hope to fly into the Fall Dragon each year.

Hi Everyone, new guy here.

I'll definitely be attending, but would like to ask if there is an itinerary or some loose schedule. I'm required to work Friday and not able to control when I get out, so I'm trying to see if I should push to make the drive out Friday Night or wait until early Saturday Morning. I can attend until Sunday for the same work reasons.

Any info, would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

This is a pretty relaxed time, it will be Easter weekend, so our attendance will be low (and attendance by the various biker groups should be low as well - should mean quite good driving conditions !!!)

This is a quick idea of how the weekend should generally go:

Attendance list updated, best as I can - still have reservations that, I guess, are from Facebook.

If that is five hours not counting lunch and stops for scenery, then its gonna be a LONG day.

So, maybe not. We will see - depends on turnout and interest.

Demands of work or just a desire to relocate? Sorry to hear you're leaving the SE-USA. Hopefully, you can make Eureka Springs in June. I really enjoyed following you around on the Ozark roadways back in 2015.

Later,

Thanks for that...

I do not believe that it is time for me to leave the company, so I will go with the job. I"m VERY mobile, it won't hurt me to move - and you can BET that I'll be in ES in June. I've been on the phone with John Two-Hawks twice this week. (Well, just to help with his convertible top, but the meet was certainly discussed. )

List updated (Len, I assumed you leave Sunday).

Looks like 16-18 cars, I expected 14-20 so I think we are on track. The Gens will be there, their group will be smaller this time as well. All we can do is hope for good weather.
