Had some great runs today, but we're missing you Bryan.

Oh, and Fontana has wireless now.

Sorry, you are past the last minute. It's already going on.....

Welcome anyway. You can still head out and join for the remaining weekend.

I had a great time! Thanks to the McCoys for not organizing this great non-event. It went by in no time.

See you all soon!

everyone!

Thanks so much for coming out and making one of mine and Ron's favorite weekends the best ever! Where to begin?

Favorite moments:

Thursday:
PERFECT solo run through the Dragon to get to the non-event
Fun runs in the afternoon with Ron, JAHumphrey, w1ngman, radred and sheadlee
BBQ dinner in Robbinsville
"Settling" the cabins, with wine and sheadlee's videos
Staying up til the wee hours waiting on Huskergirl to arrive
Huskergirl's arrival!

Friday:
Lazy breakfast.... hey, I'm not an early riser. (Paid the penalty for that one; Dragon got busy FAST!)
brunodkid9, yflyer, S2K Awe, airgate +Anna and Huskerhubby arrive
Dragon burgers!
Friendly staff at Deal's Gap
Nap/shower in the afternoon (VERY cool that Fontana is so close to the Dragon)
Excellent late-day Dragon runs
Drinks on the cabin porch
Dinner at the Wildwood Grille


Saturday:
Early runs crack-o-dawn; excellent decision!
More Dragon burgers!
Chill time at the cabins in the heat of the day
sheadlee's videos of w1ngman doing some major Dragon slayage
Late day runs
No paving work on 28
Dinner at the cabins; ribs and chicken and steak (Oh My!)
More late-night silliness at the cabins

Sunday:
More crack-o-dawn Dragon runs
Breakfast at Deals Gap during a major (but short-lived) rain storm. (Ahhhh...rain on the tin roof.)
Most excellent video of airgate and JAHumphrey through the Dragon
Avoiding 5 wild turkeys in the Gravity Cavity
Lunch at the Jarrett House
Fond farewells!

Can hardly wait til DragonBall........
