I’ve been to MINIs on the Dragon a couple of times, and it’s always a blast. If you haven’t gone before, definitely consider staying at Fontana Village—it’s the perfect base camp for all the activities. Just make sure to book early because those rooms go fast. Last time, I ended up staying a bit farther out, and while it was still fun, being at the center of everything makes a big difference.

I looked around, and there just isn't anywhere else to stay in that area that's reasonably close. Although the website wouldn't accept reservations for that weekend, I was able to call the resort directly and book a room.

Now I'll spend the next 8 months in anticipation!

1 week to go.

1 week to go. Been going to MOTD for 18 years. This will be my last trip. My first trip down started right here on NAM. Back then NAM was the place for getting information. And to tell you the truth I am a little tired of the “Book”.
I was looking back over past threads and reliving old memories. A lot of good times.
