Saved space for additional info

 

You can put me on the list! Not sure which one of my ladies will be coming with me.

 

I’ll be there as well

 

Of course, I'll be there.

 

You can put me down for Thursday thru Sunday.

 

Happy New Year everyone
Hope to see many more here attend the Spring Dragon GTG in March/April

 

I will make my inaugural appearance this year. Not sure yet if I will have a Plus One, but I'll be there 3/29-4/2.

Look forward to meeting everyone!

 

Well, that's four of us. If winter clears out of our way in time (I only say that cause WOW are we having a WINTER right now) - this should be a really good time. It will be Easter weekend, and those who have been there on Easter know what that means: MOST bikers and most everyone else will be home watching the kids (or grandkids) in church.

My last Easter up there was great - I won't say we had the place to ourselves, but traffic was so light that Blount County Sheriff only had one car there and that deputy only hung around for maybe 2 hours, 3 at the most. When the law does not bother with the Dragon, you KNOW traffic is light.

 

Sadly I will not be able to attend this years Spring Dragon. Y’all have fun.

 

Ok, a total of nine rooms are booked but I can't match all the names up with Screen Names.

Can I ask you to post if you have a room reserved? I see some are Facebook people who may have no account here -I''ll work on that.....


Thanks

 

Dorothy and I will be there Thursday thru Monday arriving around 6pm

I have a room reserved Thursday until Monday.

first timer at this event

 

I"m trying to reconcile our attendance list with the lodge reservation list - looks rather "first timer heavy" this time, which is a good thing.

 

Mark reservation made yesterday.

 

Mary + Guest

Thursday thru Sunday

 

Due to personal conflicts, I will not make it to Fontana until around noon Friday.

Looks like Charlie and I will probably blow into the lodge together.
On the up side, I may stay till Monday morning now.
