Tail of the Dragon Number 12 Bucket List Registration Is OPEN

[VIPERD]

Count me in for any group runs... Clingmans Dome, Fontana Dam, Road to Nowhere.

[Joel]

We are working on a group cruise for Saturday. Kudos to Thomas for his work on planning the cruise. We will try to figure out who wants to go on Saturday so we can plan a lunch stop somewhere near Robbinsville or Fontana. Depending on the route, we will leave the hotel around 8:30 or 9:00 am and be back well before the parade line up. Right now we will probably line up for the parade around 4:30 pm to drive to the Cherokee Grille. We will have an itinerary once early registration closes (April 15) so we have an idea of how many are coming. Stay tuned!

[TCurtner]

Ok, it is getting close to time - am planning routes and groups now...i need some volunteers.

I would like to have a minimum of two groups - need leaders (point man) and followers (cat herders) for rear guard for each.

We will have a 'fast' group that pulls out for G'Burg pretty early (7:45ish? timeframe) on both Friday and Saturday mornings.

Then a second 'cruise' group (in the 8:30ish timeframe). The second group will meet up with me in Townsend, as we'll go the foothills parkway on to our destinations...

If you drive like MattC or DaveI then you'll probably want to go with the early group. I'm hoping for some quick feedback and commitment for these 'positions'.

Let me know your thoughts.

I have gotten my first cat, er...'snake herder' volunteer: Joel Hausler will be bringing up the rear of the 'cruise snake' group for the T.O.D. run on Friday - we'll see if he can stand it (considering all the stragglers and wrong turners of past years) for Saturday if needed.

NEED MORE VOLUNTEERS - Josh Josrocket is considering the 'slithering lead' for the (um, uh, ahem) 'striking snake' early group. If you can keep up with him, then all the HP to ya.

Thomas...I seem to be missing out on all the fun lately...or the kiddos just keep me busy. Hope all is well man and hope to one day link back up soon!

I am getting conflicting information from past participants as to the desired routes, where to meet up, when/where to eat Friday and Saturday lunch, etc.

It is time for you to post your thoughts - what do YOU want to do as a Tail Of The Dragon Attendee this year? We will base our plans on your feedback. Need to submit your ideas soon!

(NOTE: as this is the Tail Of The Dragon event, we need to focus on the nice roads in the proximity of the Dragon - we won't consider radically distant cruises, et.al.)

Here is a general area map that we will stay within:

We have booked our room! Several of us are going to be traveling to Gatlinburg early. We will be leaving Greensboro Tuesday morning to spend a couple extra days there. I will put out details as it gets closer if anyone wants to leave from Greensboro Tuesday morning with us. So far there's 3 Vipers in our group.

You are killing me Tom. All of this planning is driving me crazy. Lisa and I are going to hate missing out this year. We know that you are going to have a great team me. Do some moonshine shots for us.

[dodgefever]

We will do many shots!

[Alan]

The Agenda is ready! I have attached it as a PDF for printing. Hope to see you all there!

[dodgefever]

It looks like a great time! I'm not trying to be dense or anything but what's the difference in the 8:30, 11:00, and 11:15 starting times? Is the 8:30 the longer route and the other 2 are more direct?

[ssmith71]

Some potentially bad news that we all need to be aware of.

[Alan]

No worries. 830am is departure from the Greystone Lodge to the Tellico Plains Exxon, which is the starting point for TotD runs and rally point for those not coming from Gaitlinburg. The two start times are to space the cars out a bit to prevent "clogging" on the drive, both are the same route. Its a very full day! Thanks, Alan

[VIPERD]

I'd like to be part of the 8:30am group if that can be arranged
