Default Back of the Dragon Weekend July 13-15.

I'm setting up a Back of the Dragon drive on the weekend of July 13-15. If you haven't heard of this drive, you will soon. Thirty-two miles of curves, switchbacks, mountains and scenery with limited access, few tourists and a 55mph speed limit. There are two drives planned, one on Friday afternoon that's about an hour and a half and the main drive on Saturday which is about 4 hours.

The registration site is open. Right now, it's being used to judge interest. I'm driving down on Friday to do the drives and make hotel and dinner arrangements. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone Back of The Dragon.

You got it. That's what I'm working on (well, that and a Saturday night banquet too).
