Also, quite curious....how much money in gas do you guys normally spend to just drive up there? how many tanks? Need to get an idea of how much this whole thing is going to cost so i can save some money.
It's hard to remember and I didn't keep records but is was around 550 miles to the overnight spot in Clayton Georgia (NE GA) and then about 75 miles or so the next day into Fontana so that's should be just a little over 2 tanks of gas at 28 MPG. If you figure 3 tanks up and 3 tanks back that would be about $120.00 each way plus what you use while in Deals Gap/Fontana, as I recall the premium fuel there was very expensive!!

Maybe someone else kept actual records on mileage and fuel consumption and could give you a better idea.

April 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th (Thursday - Sunday), 2008

One of the best parts of WTD/DBR is the Thursday Night Hooters meet in Alcoa, TN (which, most likely will be moved to Wednesday April 16 this year).

I plan on leaving either Tuesday afternoon (or early Wednesday AM) and spending the night in Alcoa & then driving over to the Dragon Thursday AM.

With over 300 cars (and 300+ people) expected at WTD, Fontana Village will most likely be sold out fairly quickly. A good back-up place to stay is Nantahala Village (website).
