If you find driving to North Carolina is a bit to far or you don't have enough time to make the drive
consider flying into McGhee Tyson Airport only 51 miles from the Fontana Lodge where we all stay.
Nice small airport with rental cars available.
Fly in and rent a car and drive just 51 miles to the lodge and join in on all the fun.
There are always passenger seats for you to ride in and we would love to have you.
You don't even need your Crossfire to have a great weekend at the Dragon.

Saturday's route B Devils Triangle

Guys this is a long day, but it's well worth it for those of you who like to drive your cars moderate/heavy. We'll start out at the damn as always, eat lunch on the otherside of Cherohala @ PizzaHut (guys who were with us last spring will remember the wait staff lol, I'm sure they're still there. Where else would they work in that town?) From there we head to the Triangle. After the triangle stop at a fuel station for a breather and water/restroom break. Then it's a quick trip to the Dragon and home (Fontana). Expect to leave out from the Damn @ 10, eating around 11/11:30, and we should arrive back at Fontana around 4:00.

At the moment it's Jason/Kyle (Jason_HBC) and myself. When we reach 10 cars for this journey we will start to split the group. With the distance we will be covering it's hard to keep 10+ cars together. It's not necessary to sign up on this website if you want to go on this route. It would be helpful though.
