Dragon Website

Hey Everyone. I was thinking we needed a website with one stop info. on the dragon thats up year round with: lodging, dinning, MOTD, etc. So I present to you my creation.

http://www.minisonthedragon.info

I consider this more of a community service that my own personal site, so I'm asking everyone for input and suggestions on how to make this the best site possible.

I would also like to put links to all the clubs on the main page, so please contact me and let me know if that's OK

Make sure you go to the Graham County section and request a Welcome Package, Just got mine last week, it includes some great maps and brochures!!

Thanks for all the great feedback everyone.

If you want a welcome package from Graham county you go request one from the "Graham County" page on my site.

Don't forget to go to the "Graham County" link and request a welcome package, they'll send you out some nice info for planning your trip.

Thanks for the tip, I just ordered mine.

I noticed there's not a lot of rooms in the places you show, are there others?
Or will that be in the package?

snooter, very nice!! Great collection of information - especially the lodging page! A place to stay is probably the toughest challenge of the whole event, I'm sure I'll be using that page a lot. Thanks!

Great job! I was pleased to see that you listed the campgrounds in the area. I look for the day when the "MINI Teardroppers" get together and take over a single campground. Hey it could happen. But for now I will just take my place up the hill from the store.

The 3rd Cigar Salon will be held on the porch right after the Welcome Dinner and during the Monte Carlo event, Thursday evening. All are welcome to meet, greet, and smoke their cigars in a pleasant, outdoor venue [the steps, the various chairs, or standing along the railing]. Be sure to dress for the occasion, as the evening WILL be chilly.

Snooter, Thanks for the links. I found pics of one of our runs on the Dragon last year by Killboy. Better late than never, .

I have requested my info packet from Graham County, thanks to your heads up on this.

Have not heard about the Monte Carlo event before this. New event? Any details?

Check with Mielnicki as its his baby. It'll be a Casino Night after the Welcome Dinner on Thursday. With Steve & Pam behind it I know it'll be a blast.
