It will be right around finals time but i think that i was better off with going and taking the day off then studing lol but i just live 30 min from the TN side so. I will be there next year not sure if i will be staying friday night since it is only about an hr and a half drive. I if i dont stay friday night i will not have to watch you guys drive by at 9:30 because i am late . We had a blast last year and cant wate for 2k11. Remember that i will be doing a run for every one that is local and wants to hit it again this summer. I have a thread in south east. (sorry if i thread jacked) See you all next year or maybe some sooner.

We booked our room for next year when we checked in this year. If you want some relaxing time and have a few extra days, I recommend extending your stay. Llona and I stayed at The Ridge Top until Tuesday this year. We had originally planned to find some new roads (that we hadn't driven before) and run the Dragon again but we ended up just sitting out in front of our room for 2 days. It was easy to relax because we were the only people in the motel for 2 days. We also mananged to find a killer restraunt we hadn't seen before and an outstanding Ice Cream Shop. We booked up for a couple of extra days next year as well.

Is it May yet?

Ooo, thanks for reminding me John. Val and I were talking about extending our stay until Monday, possibly Tuesday. So it looks like you'll be stuck with Val and I for at least an extra day.

Almost done with the graphics too. Juuuuust about there Gary.

i'm hoping to make an extended stay in '11...both years i had to get back to Virginia for work...won't have to worry about that as much next year, so i'd like to spend a little more time tootling around the area.

Awww don't do that. Well its a long time to June 2011. Lots of things can happen before then. I am really going to try to attend both. But TOD was so much fun I hate to miss it next year. I've not been to Roswell yet so don't know what thats like in comparison. In reality tho - work is most likely going to dictate which one (or both) I can attend.

Blasted work...always gettin' in the way of things I want to do.

We originally planned that for this year, but it didn't work out. Hopefully next year we'll be able to do it. There were a few places we wanted to check out this year, we just didn't have enough time.

I understand where you are coming from, Roswell is a blast for sure, trust me you'd have a great time I wouldn't miss it for the world, no matter what happens I will be there...and again I will try to do TOD 2012 if my schedule and finances permit

I am planning on making it next year, so I went ahead and booked the ridgetop. If something changes, I will let y'all know! One of the best things I've done in a long time is get to know all of you and make the 2k10 trip. I just hope next time I don't miss out on the whole drive!![I still don't know how that happened :dunno

I'm planning on going! I definitely think a year is enough advance to get off work..... :x I might have a copilot too, so I can have pictures without running myself off the road.

Phone number for the Ridge Top Motel is in the 1st post
Book your room now. They won't charge your card unless you cancel without 24 hour notice. We're hoping to fill the "Top" with Orgers again next year

FINALLY!!! the artwork is done! Awaiting Garys approval and subsequent posting on post#1

Here's a little taste of the artwork, at least an element of it. I wanted to do a cool spin on the TOD initials, so here they are.

Saturday afternoon bump. I see a few more views than when I logged on this morning but I was hoping to see a few posts about the new 2K11 artwork. It's been added to the 1st post to this thread but I'll add it here as well.

Al, my friend, you did an awesome job again this year. Can't wait to be sporting the 2K11 swag.

Is it May yet
