I am wanting to get a group of NBs together and do a local GTG and hit the dragon the skyway and maybe a few other back roads. It will be after the dragon opens on the TN side. I will post dates up at a later point of time if any one is interested..

According to the postings on dealsgap.com -- the contracted completion date is July 31st.
If completed by July 1st the contractor gets a $195,000 bonus.

Hey Fuzzy! Still have the rims for sale? You needed tires, right Ollie? Perhaps a trip that way might be in order

Yes I do have them for sale 4 wheeles and tires. And for the date i was thinking a little sooner lol. I was thinking like shortly after it opens up on the TN side so i dont have to drive 2 hrs to get there. I can be in Bryson City in about 45 min going throught the dragon but on the TOD it took me almost 3 hrs.
