Caravan Details

Where: We will meet at the Fair Lakes, VA Starbucks (our "Old" Saturday meeting spot)

When: Plan to arrive between 5:30AM-5:45 AM on Sunday, May 15th. We will start the Caravan to ZDayZ at approximately 6:00AM. We'll coordinate the Post ZDayZ caravan once we are down there and have a better idea as to when everyone that wants to caravan can be up and at 'em and ready to roll.

Note that there is a Sunoco fuel station nearby if you need to fill up. Please arrive with a full tank. If you continue driving past the meet location, make the first right after you cross under the bridge. The Sunoco will be on your left, next to the CVS.

The Route: ZDAYZ Caravan Route - Google Maps

Food & Drinks

As you can tell by the registration form, I'm trying to get a better gauge at how many mouths we have to feed for how many nights. Hopefully this will give us a good idea of what and how much food/drink we need to gather for the group. As the picture becomes a little more clear we can start compiling a list of what we need and see who plans on providing what.

We typically have standard grill fare, but if you have anything special in mind that you'd like to cook one night just let us know here and we can work with it. Also, if you have special dietary requirements let us know and we'll see what you can do, but chances are you'll need to provide your own food.

If you are willing to cook or help prepare a meal, please indicate that in a response. I'll update the meal list below as Chefs volunteer and menus are identified.

MEALS:
When Chef(s) Menu
Sun Dinner: On Your Own (Arriving too late to bother cooking meal)
Mon Lunch: Lunch Stuff at the Cabin
Mon Dinner: Shahid Chicken Tikka
Tues Lunch: Lunch Stuff at the Cabin
Tues Dinner: Aniceh "Some fish dish"
Wed Lunch: Lunch Stuff at the Cabin
Wed Dinner:
Thur Lunch: Lunch Stuff at the Cabin
Thur Dinner:
Fri Lunch: Lunch Stuff at the Cabin (Dai and Daniella are preparing lunch for the volunteer team)
Fri Dinner:
Sat Lunch: Lunch Stuff at the Cabin
Sat Dinner:

VOLUNTEER Event
MAZOC will be supporting ZDAYZ again this year by volunteering at registration. We have plenty of people (Listed below) and will be working the registration tables Friday from 1pm - 5pm. With the large number of folks we have, we should have enough to allow some of us to break away and see the Chris F. drift demo since it is happening during our registration period. I missed it last year, but I am willing to stay in the registration area to allow others to go to the demo. You just have to agree to take some video to show me ;-). Any others willing to stay at registration?

Michael Dorrity
Jon Hubbard
Patricia Fraser
Aniceh Zolfagharian
Emily Sauter
Steve Fitzgerald
Deborah Fitzgerald
Shahid Shafiq
David McConagha

Things To Do

We may be organizing a couple fun and scenic loops like we have done in years past. We will probably have a winery, brewery or a distillery tour (who am I kidding, this is MAZOC and I may need to change that "or" to an "AND"

), and maybe a trip to the "Mountain Roller Coaster" near Gatlinburg. An off-road trip in the Jeep will be planned as well. I'll provide details as we get closer to May. Please let me know if you want to lead any tours or outings.

OUTINGS:
FISHING: Steve will be doing some fishing and can give the schedule for me to post here.
4x4: I'll be taking the Jeep off-roading on Tuesday or Wednesday if anyone wants to ride along.
Cruise: To Gatlinburg to do the mountain roller coasters ?????? One idea
Cruise: To alcohol... Winery, brewery and distillery

Put me down for Sun-Sun. I'm a maybe for the Caravan. At this point I'm thinking that I'll meet you guys en-route like I did last year with Chris Grigg. Chris is doing Sun-Sun as well and most likely will be hanging out with us most of the time. I'll let you guys know his plans when I know. Food wise, I plan on eating with MAZOC as much as possible and will contribute food/drink/money to the cause.

Big question: Are we doing a pig roast again and more importantly are we hosting a party for all the early birds on Monday or Tuesday? I remember Steve and John talking about doing the party as an official-unofficial ZDayZ event with Brian Settle last year.

Look forward to meeting up! I hope you plan on avoiding the road gators this time!

I'll reach out to Bryan to see if he is game for the unofficial opening party. I think that could be fun. I'm game, but will need more support from the MAZOC crowd and Brian's group to pull that off. Anyone???

The road gator was 2014 but yes I always try to avoid them but it is hard when the guy in front of you kicks one up.

I plan to join the caravan Sunday morning on Interstate 66 at Front Royal Exit 6, Route 522.

After we get to Fontana Lake Sunday evening I'm heading on to Knoxville Monday through Wednesday. Will return from Knoxville on Thursday morning. Staying in Robbinsvile at Microtel Inn, $75.00 per night (vs. $124 at Fontana Village if they had a room, which they don't.)) Thursday through Saturday. I have an extra bed I'm willing to share. Microtel still has a few rooms if anyone is interested in reserving their own. 828-479-6772. It's about 30 minutes from Fontana Village at the other end of the Dragon.

Will be glad to help with lunch (dollars or labor) on Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

Will join the caravan on return trip Sunday if one is organized.

Thanks for all your time and effort coordinating this. Regards, Dave

Might be able to help you out. Let you know soonest.

Z Stig · 03-16-2016, 10:56 AM

We are having the ZDAYZ Staff over for dinner at least once between Monday and Tuesday. They are on a skeleton crew at that point, so it may just be 2-3 extra. With that small of a group, they can eat with us anytime...

I'll be starting to update the original message in the thread soon.

Don't forget to register and volunteer for cooking.

So I have a cabin from Thursday - Sunday, but I am interested in the trip out there with everyone. Leaving Sunday would be fine, but I gotta figure out where I'd be staying from Sunday - Wednesday :\
