You might consider a short stopover at Fontana Dam on Rt 28, seeing as you're going right by it. It's pretty impressive and not far from the Dragon!

Jagdpanzer · 02-19-2013

Count me in.
Can't think of a better way to break in the new motor.
Thanks Robert for organizing this.

Doug ... I think the road's closed to visit the Fontana Dam, but I'm still checking on it. Are you joining us on this trip?

MikeGolf · 02-20-2013

Count me in, I'll do the run on the way to the start point!

Ronstar · 02-21-2013

Only have to pre register for sleep inn (end of day one)? Others we get rate at check-in. Is this correct? Putting in for my time off work.
