Come in Friday night for the Saturday drive. We meet for dinner Friday and SAturday and leave for home Sunday. Most of the Meets are only a 2-day, unlike the 3-day Dragon events.

Jonas per your post above, I appreciate you considering an alternative route. I just posted the alternate drive at this thread. I'd like to let you know that we did eat at the Muddy Miser last year but 45 minutes before you arrived from the bucket. The group I led really enjoyed this route from the Muddy Miser to Marietta.

In consideration of your posting, I'm going to let you (and anyone else that really cares) know that I'm not going to the Big Shovel this trip, I'm going straight to the Muddy Miser for lunch. The second thing is that I'm going to have to pass on Saturday night dinner unless it's somewhere other than the Gun Room. My stomach told me last year that I shouldn't eat there again and I plan on listening to it and having dinner at Buckley House. If anyone would like to join me, you're welcome to come along, just let me know in plenty of time so I can let Jonas know.
Incidentally, there were the same number of people for lunch as expected, just some got there 30 minutes before others. We let the management know we were early and the rest of the group would be along shortly. I've been arranging meets for a long time and I know the things that restaurants and hotels go through to make sure they are prepared for unexpected numbers. I can understand the concerns, I face the same thing numerous tims over 6 or 7 meets every year. You can't satisfy everyone, you just try to satisfy the largest number of people.

I definitely agree with the route Paul laid out. NO interstate, just lots of really great curves and road.
