Ok, I am IN for June 25-30. I am also going to suggest we DO hit up the blue ridge parkway at some point for these reasons:
I am IN for caravanning from NJ/NY/PA - just let me know.
This idea really pumps me up. I graduated from college in '03 and have been missing it since - being an adult sorta sucks!!!!!
mb
btw - I went to the dragon this summer and went home via the BRP. I, hands down, enjoyed the BRP more.
- It is a much faster drive, and way more scenic
- There are a TON of wonderful stop offs for us to, well, stop, enjoy the view, switch cars (ha), whatever. OOOH BBQ!
- It doesn't make people throw up (well, almost).
- It is literally hundreds (thousands maybe) of miles long which leaves us tons of options.

I have been on Skyline Drive and the BRP in a MINI before, and it is awesome! My dad is usually on the conservative side, so nothing too crazy, but the 25/35MPH speed limits on Skyline Drive are RUBBISH! only because of those stupid campers...except that one that has an internal garage which will fit a MINI into it!!! There was a thread on it a week back or so...totally kick @$$...if you like 3mpg
Anyway I look VERY forward to caravaning, assuming my family has nuttin' going on that week *gets down on knees and prays to god*
Cheers,

I have sent an email to put the event on the official dragon calender, with the dates as 25-30. We can make the event however long we want those days, i just marked those days on the calender. Although some people cant make it or arent up for 1 week event, this is a bigger window to allow people to make it.
Next: Invite local MINI clubs?

this seems TOTALLY awesome! but i might not be able to attend. we'll see. Its gonna be a really busy summer for me. After school is out im going to Germany to see the World Cup. We have tickets to a quarter final match on July 1st, but were not sure if we can make it, on account of my brother getting married on July 8th. So, IF i get home from Germany before the 25th, and IF i can convince my mom to let me go on a road trip immediately after getting home from a month vacation without her in Europe, and IF the bachelor party doesnt fall on that weekend, and IF i can pool some extra cash...ill try and comethumbsup:

Our event is now on the official dragon calender. The dates are June 25-30, and as the date gets closer, we'll decide whether to go earlier in the week or later. (As some people can only make it a couple of days.) Thats the plan. I think we should start inviting our local clubs to get the population up.
Its official now; there is no backing out....
