Just made my reservation at the Fontana hotel ... may get a cabin (a couple still available) if my brother and his family come up. See y'all there!

Nope..Sweetwater is in Rville. This place is at the western end of the Cherohalla Skyway.

Mod Session with Dan Zipkin from Grassroots Garage canceled.

As you may have read a few posts up from here, Dan Zipkin from Grassroots Garage had something come up and can't make it to the Dragon, so obviously, the tech session will be canceled. So, that time is now free, unless someone has an idea.

Even better, pitch your tent in someone's cabin!

So to speak...

Ah... I thought you meant the eastern end... Mini Bee posted about a place that's at the west end...

Hey where have you been? I haven't seen you on here for a long time and was starting to worry. And now I see that I'll be seeing you this weekend. Cool!

Hey Blimey, what're the chances that we make it back from the Loop run in time for this?

Hey TWISTER, don't forget the Disc Golf Tournament is at 4, and there's alot of people playing. What about 3? I think people could do the Blimey run, then make it back in time for the parade/photo, then be at the tourney at 4......

I think that sounds like a good idea. As I want to take part in it all!

If necessary, we'll cut it short to be back in time... whether it's at 3PM or 3:30PM...

We finally meet! I didn't bring any models or even any beer... I planned to have a quiet weekend in the mountains before heading back to der Fatherland...guess that's right out!

Are you staying at Fontana? I'll be bouncing back and forth between y'all and the Club Roadster crowd...both centered on the Fontana.

Yup! I'm in a lodge room and will be getting in before noon on Friday. Looking forward to it. I owe you some beers for sure!

I can bring a 180-degree panoramic camera. It's a film camera but it still works well. Anyone bringing a tripod?

Channel 7, subchannel 21 is the "official" MOTD channel - I suggest we use that as primary for consistency. The Tar Heel club uses 20 sub 20. Other clubs use other combinations typically. Most radios can be set to scan selected channels - so I scan between the MOTD and the THMMC channels...

I say we use 20-20 for ease of remembering, and since most of us use it anyway. 20-20 is easy to remember, and easy to pass on.....I have posted the frequency on the revised program.

Let's just use 20-20, since most people coming are familiar with it. Spread the word, 20-20 it is!
