That's right...calculating the mileage ONE WAY from every "home" city to Fontana Dam, NC (Fontana Village Resort), we are at:

50,306.3 miles

It was a very close race for the "longest drive" to the Dragon...and same for the "shortest drive" to the Dragon. Congrats!

If we factor $3.85 per gallon for 93 Octane and an average 26mpg, we will use 1,935 gallons...that's $7,449.75.

Worth EVERY penny!

See everyone soon!! Be safe in your travels...take your time, arrive safe!
