NOTE: NEW TOUR LOOP MAP LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCRIPT
*Notice* the date for this and all future ToD GTG's will be the 1st Saturday in May. Well, with just under a year to go before this event, we'd better get cracking on the planning ![]() Saturday May 1st, 2010 Ridge Top Motel and Campground website: RV campground and motel. Bryson City, NC Phone: (828) 488-6363 Toll Free (866) 415-9692 At last reports, the Ridge Top is now at full occupancy. All beetle people. It's been discussed, but not yet finalized as the official ToD overflow hotel, that the Sleep Inn would/might be the hotel of choice. It seems to be closer to the Ridge Top than any other hotel- we're wanting the groups to be close to each other. Additional area info: http://www.tailofthedragon.com/ http://www.greatsmokies.com/ Rough itinerary[/SIZE]-[/U][/B] using last year as a guide- Gary and or Bob will make any necessary corrections ![]() Friday- the beetles arrive in Bryson City, begining early/mid afternoon until evening. Photo ops / meet and greet / motel check-in. Maybe some are checking in a day earlier...you never know . Since the Ridge Top is booked and the Sleep Inn next to be occupied, here are the plans. 6:00PM, gather at the "Top" for an informal meet. 7:00PM begins "pizza fest". After dinner more "getting to know eachother" time. At this time, we're not sure if there will be an impromptu car show after dinner across the street from the motel but more info will follow.Saturday- early a.m breakfast at the Blue Ridge Grill / gas-up / car wash in preparation for taming the Dragon. We depart from the Blue Ridge @ 9:00AM sharp, driving to the Dragon, then onto the Cherohala Skyway. Gas/snack break before riding the Skyway. Several runs of the Dragon will take place. Those who are opting out of another run(s), will proceed to the meeting place (Bob will chime in...i hope ), where the 2+ Dragon runners will catch up, for photo ops and such.PM vwgary for Friday night Pizza Fest payment info. $5.00 per adult due no later than March 31st. PayPal or snail mail. Saturday night- Dinner, followed by lots of Dragon tales at the "honeycomb hideout"- the loft of the Ridge Top, and the other hotel's hideaway i'm sure .Sunday- Leaving Bryson City. There's talk about doing something early (Breakfast- etc T.B.A) before everyone leaves. plans are still in the works. This is our 2nd year of a very successful maiden voyage. There's talks of a 'soft' car show- basically dispalying for the townspeople, ourselves and media. I'm hoping that Gary will do His VW/New Beetle trivia challenge somewhere in the mix of either dinner nights. Still we're many months out and these plans will be solidified way before the event, so all will be privy to what's going on ![]() ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Official disclaimer!! The current planned and all future TOD GTG's are "attendance at your own will". The Org as well as organizers can not be held responsible or liable for mishaps going to, during or going from the event. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2010 Tail of the Dragon Information Summary
