We left Fontana this morning around 9 am, took a detour across Blood Mountain in Georgia, missed a turn and ended up on the South end of GA 60. I arrived back home a little after 2pm CST. This was by-far the smallest meet I've been to, but that was to be expected considering the circumstances. Thank you to all who came! It was great to see ya'll again after such a hot Summer! This Fall's meet may have been small on turnout, but it was definitely big on fun!

Admittedly, it was a bit weird going to play in proximity to an area devastated by such a massive catastrophe. However, the areas we normally drive were mostly unaffected and I only saw evidence of the occasional downed tree. In the areas we love to vacation, many people need all kinds of help, especially in the areas most affected by the floods. My heart goes out to them and I encourage all who are willing and able to help. That said, even the other areas in proximity still need tourism dollars coming in to survive given that this has resulted in so many cancellations.

I anticipate there being increased normal traffic on the Dragon for awhile, at least until the interstates are opened back up. That is A-OK though, as the police moved in quickly to help quell the biggest issue: 18-wheelers. I look forward to seeing all the photos that will be posted in the coming days!

The next event will be May 15 - 18, 2025, so be sure to mark your calendars and get ready!

 

Just wondering... when can we start to book rooms?

 

I've already booked time off work, and it's written in pen on the calendar. Can't change it now!

looking forward!

Christmas just around the corner, then New Years. With that people can start planning the Spring dragon event. Who’s planning to attend this one. Just asking people.

 

YUUUUP!

We are planning on being there....

 

We are? Oh yeah, we are!

 

Uggghhhh... no lodge rooms available.

Not sure what we are going to do now.....

 

I finally hopped into my third S after 13 long years and moved to KY, so I am only a few hours away from the Dragon. I am definitely in! Will there be an agenda or schedule of where and when to meet/cruise, and so forth once this gets closer?

 

That's no good, I assume that's cabins and other accommodations too at Fontana?

Kind of a deal breaker if the event takes place there but there's no where to stay.
