Here's a photo I pulled off of Killboy's site. It's been a long while since he had photos I wanted to order, but I will definitely be ordering some once he has all of the weekend's photos available. The fall colors are the best I've ever seen.

I'm pretty sure some Big Wheels had an e-brake.

So who's the proud owner of the 3-wheeled fun-mobiles (the pink one, in particular)?

NO e-brakes, and did i mention the hill (with turns & switchback) was a mile long
ahhhhhhh, the pink one, that's what happens with you send someone else to get your Big Wheel..........you end up with a Barbie Big Wheel

Well who did you send to get it, Samantha? Did anyone have the CHiPS Big Wheel? Did you seriously go a mile on it?

Any plans for another trip soon? I was up there 3 weeks ago (10/15/06) and I completely missed this chance.

Maybe next time

Here are a few pictures taken on the FOTD IV trip a couple weeks ago.

On the Road to Nowhere near Bryson City


These were taken by MINIclo as we drove the Dragon heading for home the last day












This I took on the FOTD II trip

Yup! Third weekend in October is my favorite time on the Dragon. Beautiful colors and supercharged engines love the cool mornings but its not too cold to get out of the MINI and enjoy the scenery.
