POST TO HAVE YOUR NAME ADDED TO THE LIST

To Bring:

• FRS Radio - Channel 6
• Extra Advans, Bridgestones

Est.Costs:

• Accomodations - If you have a room to yourself ~$150. If you're sharing figure about a 1/4 to 1/2 that.
  
• Gas - ~$100`. I'm going to estimate high on this as it's just safer.
  
• Food - ~$60. Again, I'm overestimating.
  
  Total: Anywhere from $120 to $310 total, depending on the above factors. Super cheap!

This post will be updated as needed.

Doubt I can do a trip that soon, but fill me in anyway. I like hearing dragon stories.

 

Posting up...fill me in! It will depend on what's going as to whether or not I can actually go.

Will you also be going up for WTD '05 (April 22 - 24)?

 

Most likely no Our vacation time has to be used by March unfortunately.

 

Wish I could meet up with you all, but I'll be at the Gatornationals over in Gainesville, FL then.

 

Well here are the details...

There will be between 10-15 cars caravaning up there from Orlando. Not all will be S2ks. And yes, it's a mature group of people going with some experienced with the Dragon. We'll also be meeting up with some people in Atlanta as well as Robbinsville who hail from points up north.

Here's the itinerary:

Check post # 1 for itinerary.

 

mmm sounds like fun... care if a few of us smoky mtn s2000 owners meet you as well?

 

You're welcome of course. What's the count?

 

Wish I could make it but it will probably be the April run before i can tackle the Dragon again. I should have some work done to the car by then too.
