You mean the brake lights of the car in front of you? Unless you are the leader the scenery never changes and if it does you made a wrong turn!

I have requested a block of rooms at Francis Marion starting on Saturday the 4th through Wednesday the 8th. I'll post here when the block is confirmed.

We have a block of rooms. Same price as last Spring (how does he do that?). Seventy-four for standard double and $84 for Queen. The block is good from Saturday before Easter until Wednesday so reserve away. When you call, let them know it's the Ken group (that'll get you the correct amount of grief ).

Did you guys see this hotel, located just 17 miles from the Dragon and 13 miles from Cherohala?

Popped up on my Facebook, Tail of the Dragon shared it earlier today (it's a little on the expensive side, but looks nice!)
Its very nice; we had a McDragon there a few years back. You can also make dinner reservations there even if you're not a guest. Its one of the few "foodie" type restaurants in the area.

Where exactly is the back of the dragon? I hope to stop Wednesday night in Bluefield WV, and Marion VA is only like 2 hours away. I figure on the way down I can get the Canadian group to do the back of the dragon and those local roads on the way to Tail of the dragon.
