Anyway, the dragon isn't quite as scenic as the pass, but I think that the dragon is definitely a bit more fun of a drive.

Hey, Jer! You have special anti-ice tires on Sproggie? It would be fearsome taking those icy curves this time of year, I bet! 
I miss the Dragon, too! The time will fly and we'll be there SOOOOOOON!

I wanted to swing down to the Dragon on the way home, until I realized it would be an hour out of the way, and I was exhausted already!

I'm supposed to be getting my 1991 Mini (Sprog III) back late next week, it's becoming my winter car. Retiring Sprog II to summer use only. Sprog III is already a rust pit, a little more won't hurt it.

So you taking Jess back to the Dragon in Sprog III for a little Dragon-sledding? Be careful, sweetie!
