If a long day of motoring and a full stomach from the Dragon Banquet do not cure your late night insomnia, come along and join us for some Midnight Dragon Slaying! This will be a fun, memorable, and especially kool time for sober and alert night-owls to stay up late and Wake the Dragon!
Meet us at the General Store at Fontana Village Saturday night, May 4th at 11:00pm. We will depart Fontana at 11:15pm to zip down Hwy 28 to the Crossroads of Time (Deal's Gap) for a short break. Folks staying in Robbinsville or Tapoco may meet the larger group at Deal's Gap parking lot around 11:45pm.
One minute after 11:59pm on Saturday, the clock strikes 00:00, the rally lights come on, and Dragon Slaying will begin. We will run up US-129 past the overlook to the gravel parking lot near Tabcat Bridge, enjoy the stars and moonlight for a bit, and then motor on back to our cozy beds.
My morning commute always gets me pumped, so I'm considering this frenzied, darkened bliss. Maybe I'll be good this year and join the fun. No rally lights though.
This is "the" event IMHO. Like Sarcux said, it's fun to get there early and stop at any of the pull-offs then "greet" the group as they run the Dragon, then follow them down to the light show at the end. I think of Midnight on the Dragon as the closing ceremonies.
Got the shirt and I'm ready to go but I'm still looking for a LED sign that will work off the cigarette lighter.
I like the one I saw in one of the Midnight on the Dragon videos on YouTube.
