FIRST TIMERS PLEASE IDENTIFY YOURSELVES.........WE WANT TO WELCOME THE VIRGINS....... MAYBE A SACRIFICE TO THE DRAGON GOD

I'm getting married the weekend after MOTD So I'll probably have to hold off for MOTD '08...

But I'll be thinking about all of you...

 

Met up with SB and some other Rocket City MINI folks Monday and they recommended early planning. What are the 07 dates and what are some good hotels?

Thx

 

OK, I'll attempt to answer my own question... the first weekend in May 07 (Sat/Sun) is the 5th/6th. This, I'm assuming, would be the weekend of MotD 07. Now when does it usually "kick-off"? I.e. do y'all usually drive up on Thursday and leave Monday?
As for hotels... Fontana Village looks nice, anyone been in the Willows (1 Bdrm) "Cabin"?

Thx

 

Yes it is the 1st weekend in May. From what I hear Fontana Village is already booked up so you need to get on the waiting list ASAP. There are other area hotels in Robbinsville & Tapoca but Fontana is the center of everything

 

I'll be there!

 

It starts on Thursday May 3rd 2006 with the Welcome Dinner (Hosted by the Sunshine Minis, had to get a shameless plug in for my peeps ) and ends on Sunday May 6th.

Many of us like to get up there a day or two earlier when possible.

Places to stay

Fonatana Village
Topoco Lodge
Microtel in Robbinsville
Blue Water Mountain Lodge
Phillips Motel in Robbinsville
Blue Boar Inn is in Robbinsville on Lake Santeetlah
Snowbird Mountain Lodge at 45 mins. from Fontana

You can also check out the Tail of the Dragon Website
I alway find cool cabins to rent on VRBO - go to NC then Robbinsville

 

Excelent, thanks for the info

 

Oh, like that is an excuse...... I'm sorry not on the list of approved excuses...... we could have our first "Dragon Wedding"

 

I shall be in attendance and have already booked my cabin

 

I'll be there!

 

Cabin was booked the day we left. I wouldn't miss it!

 

The Frau convinced me to call tonight and according to the lady I spoke with @ Fontana, I got their last Lodge Room So thanks for the advice, and I'll see y'all at MotD5

 

Allright......momentum......

encourage those who might not otherwise come......

 

The Michigan Crew will be there Mon-Sun
Just like ^^^^Steve ^^^^ above We booked our cabin the day we left

 

Remember that the lodging situation at Fontana changes constantly, so even if they are reported to be full, call anyway, and get on the waitlist, if need be. When they fill up, they open up the timeshare units.

 

OK,

We're first timers and interested in going to the 2007 event.

Where do we go to find out what all goes on for the two days?

What are the costs?

Can we bring out Westie? :impatient

Coming out of Winter Springs Fl, is there a caravan originating out of Florida?

 

ok

I just called and they had a room available at the Lodge at Fontana so I booked it for May 3rd, 4th & 5th. $79.20 per night. Let's hope this is the correct dates as they have a cancellation charge of $50.00.

 

Hey ZigZagN, there is a caravan up from Florida. You can go to Sunshine Minis and as the time gets closer details will be posted.

You click here and find out info. about last years dragon. Mark the owner of this wonderfull website will be posted a event calender in the next couple of months. The key thing for now would be to secure your lodging. Then you'll have plenty of time to figure out what you want to with your time each day

 

As long as they didn't give you my room... Sweet! I'm still trying to get over the idea that I just made reservations almost 8 months in advance :impatient

 

This is great....... all first timers please identify yourselves

 

"This is great....... all first timers please identify yourselves"


Me

 

I've been down to Deal's Gap about 4 times on my motorcycle - but never yet on my new Mini Can't Wait!

 

The wife and I will be there with our MINI's. Go easy on us first timers Spidey.

BTW, we are bringing our kids along too.

 

Do people normally bring their kids too (wife & I are trying to decide on it)?
