Im so mad I was 2 hours from the dragon for the past 4 days and I could not go to it because of other plans :ah:

I'm gonna have to bow out of this one... Situations are just not favorable enough to make a road trip this year.

I'll more than likely be good to go next year, since situations will be worked out better, and I'll also have one more week of vacation!

Fray, we'll miss seeing you and driving together. Fortunately, you live in Austin and there's some unbelievably twisty roads around you... not so here in Sauna City Houston!

I'm in as well as my buddy Keith in his 1996 993 C4S.

I'll probably stay in Cherokee or Asheville area so we can have nice dinner/couple of beers in town after the fun all day.

First Thought: Since the recent addition to my family, my wife has joined the Chrysler Pacifica Auto Club and has passed her Mini Cooper and club affiliations on to me(daily driver). While on the Mini site, I noticed that Mini On The Dragon is the same weekend as we are planning our trip. They had close to 500 participants last yr and are expecting over 600 this year. Nothing we can do about it, except rescheduling, which I'm not suggesting, but at least those making the trip know what to expect.

Second thought: The Smokie Mt chapter of PCA is hosting their local "Spring Thing", which is a typical PCA "show and drive" event for multiple PCA chapters. The location is Greeneville, TN, which is fairly close (approx 80 miles) from the exit end of the TOTD. The link to the site is :

I may crash the party


Last thought: I think taking the Cherohala Skyway for the return trip back to Robbinsville is a great idea. Definitely worth considering

I think all of us forum member should join you in crashing their party! Why not?

I'll have a look at the details and see when and where it will be.
