Default Date set for McDragon 2005

Everyone!

Back by popular demand, a date has been set for McDragon 2005; a relaxing weekend in the NC mountains, to be spent with some of our favorite people on our absolute favorite road!

Let me emphasize this is NOT an organized event; just a nice opportunity for some of us to get together at the Dragon in mid-summer and enjoy the road, the company, some relaxed accomodations and some great food!

WHEN: Weekend of June 25th & 26th

WHERE TO STAY:
Ron and I will be staying at Blue Waters Mountain Lodge, which is about 5 miles north of Robbinsville on Hwy 129, about 13 miles from the Dragon. It's a very cool lodge right on the lake, that provides a full breakfast, has a common game/pool room with a huge fireplace, and a very nice upscale restaurant. They only have 9 rooms, so make a reservation early if you'd like to stay there! Rates run $145-$165 per night and includes breakfast.

Here's a link to their website: http://www.bluewatersmtnl.com/index.html

For cheaper digs, I'd recommend the Microtel Inn & Suites in Robbinsville, only a few miles down the road. Rates start there at $60/night.

Here's a link to the Microtel site: http://www.microtelrobbinsville.com/rates.html

WHAT"S PLANNED: Nothing, that's the whole point! Ron and I may even go up on Thursday evening, just to get 2 full days on the Dragon. There may be opportunities for a little hiking, fishing, etc. but if the weather's nice and the traffic's low, I'm sure we'll be on the Dragon most of the time!

Interested in joining us?

We're in, in room 6 for Friday and Saturday nights. Not sure if we'll go up Thursday night or not yet.

Can't wait.

I am most definately interested...HEY, this will be my 2nd annual non-event attendance.

I posted this thread on the DragonBall Run forum...

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=287373

I was looking at a rental that will accomodate 10 people and the rate is $20 per person, per night for the weekend...again, with 10 people.

[QUOTE]I wanna go back...I wanna go back!!!

I was thinking "we" could gather 10 folks together and rent this place for the weekend and it's only 5 miles from the Dragon!!!

http://www.twosisterschalet.com/
$200 per night/10 people = $20 per night, per person
WOW!

Oh...and did I mention...it's only 5 miles from the Dragon!?!

So, who's thinking what I'm thinking?
