    Well, we all stay kind of local to the dragon so we typically keep together (aka we won't leave anyone behind).

    All the details are in the facebook link. LMK if you need anything else...

    Update, the date has changed...the original weekend is Mother's day so we moved it to the first week of June.

    June 4-6

    Mods, can you update the title to the post? Thanks!

    You know, you'd be a 3rd s2k to be in the group. You should come with us.

    As of right now, the Dragon is closed because of several rock-slides. It should be back up no later than April, but some have said it could take a few months. I can't imagine it would though, as it brings a lot of revenue for TN and NC. But for driver safety, they have it closed for awhile until they can clear the roads.

    ooooooh, THREE! very compelling, robbie. OR, I could go up there with a group of over 200 total s2ks, on a trip that I've already put a deposit down for and paid for a lodge room.

    Decisions, decisions. :P

    Eh, you can't have as much driving enjoyment with a group that large. Too many...and that draws the wrong kind of attention.

    But it is fun to hang with a bunch of fellow enthusiasts!

    ^^^
    Did no one read my post???

    I was giving you guys a heads up...the Dragon is not expected to even open until July 31st as of right now, due to rock slides.

    Not joking:

    but the July 31st date is not set in stone.

    http://www.tailofthedragon.com/
    "TDOT’s contract has a completion date of July 31, 2010." -->this may just be the "contract date" not the re-open date

    That rock slide date has changed about each day. With the fact of the rock slides, this trip is tentative though I'll probably still go and travel area roads instead. Hwy 28 is still fun not to mention the Cherohala Skyway, Blue Ridge Parkway and other local roads.

    I'm going wait a couple of weeks before making any decisions...

    Looks like this will be happening on June 4-6. It was tentative until I made sure plans would work.

    Let's do it!
