Dragon Meet - January 7th - 9th

ydant · 12-06-2004, 10:35 AM

WHEN

Friday January 7th - evening
Saturday January 8th - all day
Sunday January 9th - most of the day

This meet is more of a Saturday/Sunday thing. Most of the Atlanta crew will be arriving in Robbinsville late Friday night (see below). First real gathering will be Saturday morning.

Meeting Friday night will be late if at all. With everyone rolling in at different hours (late), don't expect much in the way of a meet and greet.

Meeting will be between 9:00-9:30am Saturday. Plans are pretty open at this point, so it's hard to arrange any other meeting places. Your best bet is to make it to the hotel by 9:00am.

Sunday meeting about the same as Saturday.

WHAT

Great mountain roads. Great people. Decent food.

Bring a FRS radio tuned to channel 6.

If anybody wants a drunken subie bash Saturday night, buy the beer before you cross into the enhanced bible belt. Bring caffeine for Jason, too.

ATLANTA CREW

Departure is from TopSpeed 6:00pm in Atlanta. Jason will then lead you to some sort of an eatery.

What type of FRS radios do you guys normally use. I don't have one currently.

Silent23 · 12-06-2004, 12:44 PM

I have some from Columbia, but they don't work as well as I'd like. I might try to get some more for christmas, since i don't know what else to ask for.

I have one motorolla one and two cobra ones. Both work about the same.

Speaking of, WJM where's my radio? Hopefully you handed it off to Matt/Porter?

mpaone · 12-06-2004, 02:47 PM

I'll be in Vegas baby!

Anyone want to meet in the desert for some sand rallying? I'll have a Chrysler 300M... should be fun.

I'm so not worried about it, though. Anyway he and I just talked and he should be there in January. I have two others in my car to hold me over till then.

Crash477 · 12-06-2004, 04:04 PM

I will see if i can make it to the meet.

I need someone's room to crash in.

astrotrain99 · 12-06-2004, 07:07 PM

this is sounding good, I was going to try and squeeze in a trip up there during Christmas break, but I will be glad to hold off until Jan if it means meeting Subies

GTScoob · 12-06-2004, 07:09 PM

I'll be down for this. Anyone wanna split a room?

ydant · 12-06-2004, 07:09 PM

astrotrain99, let me know if you want to caravan through ATL with me - leaving around 3-4pm that Friday. It's only 20 miles further.

thrdeye · 12-06-2004, 07:11 PM

Well, I'm sure the east tn guys will be tooling around up there. Personally, I'll need to try out the new oilcovers.

that sounds good (except the part about ATL traffic

)

I will of course let you know 100% when it gets closer to time but I am committed as long as nothing unforeseen comes up

ydant · 12-06-2004, 07:32 PM

[quote=astrotrain99]that sounds good (except the part about ATL traffic

Hmm.. Yeah, the traffic. I've requested half the day off, so we can leave whenever.

2=3+2=5 = horrible traffic

probably best to leave at 3ish and get to this side of atlanta just before 6.

Or leave at 12 or 1 and get there around 3-4pm... hmmm

enTarget · 12-06-2004, 09:19 PM

Gonna pass this time and do Sandhills. After holidays the honey do list will get decidedly longer.

Count me in too! I can leave from Childersburg around 4, probably depends on work that week, which puts me mostly beyond the traffic anyway. If you leave earlier then that, it's fine, I just need good directions since this will be my first road trip down here.

Also, if there are any other females going, I'd be up for sharing a room, otherwise I'll need a single.
