Default Planning a Group Drive?

registered WTD fans! <--Raul loves this guy

If you are planning a group drive on Thurs, Friday or Saturday during WTD, please PM me the days/times you're thinking of, and I'll add them to the detailed itinerary/event guide.

Send me a brief description of the drive (with highlights), your planned day/time of departure and how long you think your drive will be.

The only one on our schedule right now is the Poker Run, which will be held on Friday afternoon, starting around 1:00, and FCPD run (time/date TBD). I know several of you have "traditions" we want to uphold and there are probably some new ones to explore.

Of course, there are always "impromptu" drives and last minute meet-up location or start time changes, so everyone should check the event message board, which will be located in the Fontana Lodge lobby, for any final details.

Can't WAIT to see you all there!

Thanks, guys! I'll include the info you PM'd in the event guide.

Point is, regardless of whether the Dragon is open or not, there will be some fun runs planned on both Friday and Saturday.

Can you give an estimated time that the poker run will end, and those involved will be back at fontana?

So will there be a "Main Group Drive" rolling out Saturday morning with all the cars like last year? I know the Dragon being closed might mean we are just doing small groups in all directions.

Poker Run should be over by 4:00 or 4:30.

If we repeated that great "mini" drive we did at DBR it wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit. Plus maybe by now Raul knows where all the turns are.

You followed Raul somewhere?

1. How many times did he get lost?
2. Did you fall asleep due to slow speeds?
3. Did he stop for a potty break every 27 minutes
4. Did he stop for a "photo op" every other pull off?

Unfortunately, that drive (Hilltops and Hollers) begins on the wrong side of the rockslide for us, so no "Hollers" drive this trip. It's one of my favorites as well.
