As a sailor, I've learned to ignore the forecast until you're on the water, as the the other four-letter word WIND, often disrupts your plans for being too scarce or too strong. I've owned several ragtops just so I can drive around in nice weather, especially on the Dragon--hoping to get a good photo from Killboy this time with the top down. It's a four hour drive for me on Thursday morning, and I will be checking in at Fontana Village Thursday for the whole weekend. SO,..... if it's gonna.....RRRRAINNN.....from Friday onwards, I might do a Dragon run before noon Thursday when the forecast is sunny and warm and the asphalt is dry. I can still join the newbie ride Friday morning and looking forward to the other routes I don't think I've been on yet, including to Franklin. Looking forward to meeting you all at the buffet! I'll be enjoying the conversation with a bottle of Black Label or some other concoction afterwards, and a cigar or two, hopefully around a big fire pit!

 

I'm totally packing an umbrella. For reference, I put my snowblower away in mid April, and it snowed a few days later. so, you be the judge

It can't be worse than spring of 2019 right? It still shows 40 and 50 percent chance in Robbinsville so I'm hoping it will be minimal.

 

It's an 8 hour drive for me on Tuesday . You people that live close...

 

Wife and I made the trip this past weekend in her ND RF. Weather was pretty foul but we managed a few trips up/down the (wet) dragon. It's been a few years since I've been up there and noticed the southbound lane has some pretty nasty dips where it appears the ground beneath the road is settling. I know that area has seen a lot of rain but it really caught me off guard.

Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable trip and I hope the weather is better for you guys.

 

is it time to leave? yes! The canadians have left...except for 2 of us...

S2000 is washed, clay barred, and halfway thru polishing.... Taking a short break! lol

 

Down in the Fontana area.... you can be in the "stuff that falls from the sky" on one side of a mountain, and sunny on the other side.

Just keep a positive attitude to it being sunny and dry!

 

You can tell where our priorities are I spent the morning cleaning the CX-5.

 

For Ken and those that are heading down tomorrow.

Have a fun weekend and be safe down there!


Ken, see you in about three weeks in Marietta!
