In other words, pick a set of dates.

Dragon Photo Reply #4 - 07/02/14 at 13:03:27 I've got to plan a short vacation with my wife whenever she figures out where she wants to go to and when that is going to be. I have to give at least two weeks notice on any vacation that I take. You guys figure out what you are doing and plug some dates into it.

I have split the Dragon Run....Summer Session 2 off from the photo thread......so we can do some planning.

I am away from my office this week and will return July 7th, I know I have a wedding to attend the second week of July. A local lady down in the Dragon area claims the weather starts to dry up in the area in late July.

I've been talking with my oldest daughter the past few days as her and her husband have been working on a cabin they recently purchased in the mountains where we ride. She had told me it was close to Maryville before which is really good, but it turns out that it is located just off the Foothills Parkway which is even better. That puts it within about 15-20 min of the Dragon. I like that.

Reply #12 - 07/13/14 at 15:13:05 I am committed to take my wife on vacation on July 30 through August 3, next week beyond that School starts back up for both of us the very next week. The rest of August and September would have to dodge Football weekends and other major school events, for which the calender hasn't been blocked off yet.

OK...changed this to a STICKY so that it doesn't drop back a few pages if we don't post anything for a day or two.

For me....this can be a "weekend only" thing, or it could be extended into a weekday, and I am flexible even up to the last minute if weather becomes an issue and we wanted to change a Friday arrival to Saturday and stay until Monday instead of a Sunday. Sunday afternoons and Mondays offer the least amount of "crowds" and travelers. Friday afternoon and evenings I believe there is a lot of traffic including campers, RV's and cars hauling boats and kayaks as US129 is about the only way to get to the Nantahala Forest and Outdoor center for those folks coming from up north.

As in the past, the Dragon is most often ridden on the way in or out of camp.....and we actually do the most riding on other roads. Evening and mornings are spent watching the show......lots of strange things come and go at the Dragon Inn.
