I called just yesterday and got a cabin. It wasn't the last one and there were also a couple lodge rooms still available.

My girlfriend can't BELIEVE I picked a cabin with no TV...

 

Just for you newbies. When you get to Fontana, you can forget your cell phones. You won't get out.

I never see a tv while up there but take lap tops and PSP, Xbox and this year will take my Xbox 360 along with at least 2 LCD tv monitors and about 40 dvd movies. Several friends plan to take them, too. We usually will have a gamers party at some point.

Just a thought.

 

I'm glad I go many more times a year to the Dragon than just May.

There's no cell phone, no PC's, no anything but me, my MCS, good friends and fun.

 

I second

 

I don't want to sound stupid, but this is my first Dragon, I don't have a clue where it is, or how the acbins are. Could soemone enlightenme.

 

The Dragon is a road in North Carolina... its 11.6ish miles long with 310+twists and turns! We LOVE it! At the bottom of the road is a small village... Fontana Village.. The cabins are all part of that... and thats where all the festivities go on!

 

It's a dry county so beer runs are a bonus...have to go through the Dragon each way

BTW Tory...that's the HOTTEST PINK I've ever seen in person Makes Msfitoy look like concrete camouflage next to you today Even Chad look light footed driving it

 

Thnaks, when is is it, so that I can make reservations.

 

First weekend in May, roughly the 4th to the 7th.

Check out the other threads in this forum for much more great info.

 

I dont think they will be a "beer" problem this year

 

Get's better every year, doesn't it

 

Sweetie, the mantra is: 318 curves in 11 miles! I know it in my sleep!

And Fontana Village is on Hwy. 28, by the Little Tennessee River near the Fontana Dam, approachable from Robbinsville via 143 to 28, or from 129 (the Dragon).

www.tailofthedragon.com is the place for those unfamiliar to visit. Be sure to click on the lodging and map links at the very bottom of the home page. Most of the planned activities emanate from Fontana Village and Tapoco Lodge.

This year, MOTD (MINIs on the Dragon) is May 4 - May 7. SOOOOOOOON!

 

I didnt remember if it was 316 or 318 so I guestimated! and its 11.6 miles!

 

1: I'll have my case of "K"
2: Sid you are correct "Misfitoy" the concrete sledge

I, too, am glad I live not far from The Dragon and visit many times a year including the annual MOTD which is one of the best times a MINI owner can have. Now, if we can just keep the drunks from finding this place, maybe everybody will get home safely this year, unlike last year.

 

See pm

 

hehe its a good thing when we motor together... all the police get distracted by me and you have the chance to zoom around them! MSFITOY will NEVER be just an innocent bystander
