Thats where I stayed last year, it's a really nice place. IMO when I stayed at Fontana for another event it felt like I was at a run down motel.

If you want to do the dragon do it at the break of dawn if you wait till later you'll just be doing 15mph behind the guy on the trike. During the day there are plenty of other amazing roads a little drive away that are pretty much deserted.

The top of the dam is a great place for pics at sunset.

Best time to do the Dragon is during the week. Weekends suck. Cops out in force. Do the side roads. Some are great. We did the time trial last year. Found nice roads with hairy switchbacks. :eek: :driving: We're getting there Wed, and leaving Monday. So we got time to do the dragon with no cops. :D

honestly each year just gets worse and worse with cops and then you have a bunch of people running in the early am so that's becoming a crowded time.

why cant cops just block off the ends of the dragon and run at your own risk speed runs lol :driving: almost like a mini race event. damn public roads.

It would be much safer, the amount of people crossing the double yellow is shocking. But then it would be a pay for drive because the cops couldn't make any money then.

I always get a kick out of the bikers saying cars are the problem with the center line but they put their tires on it then lean well over the line with their body. :facepalm:

the highway traffic safety act, THEY are in the wrong for violating the line.

just like how you are violating your sports car by driving an auto.

All the rooms and cabins get book the day after ZDayZ or very shortly after. People who manage to get a room or cabin have first dibs on reserving them for next year for I think 2 weeks after the dates stayed. On Sunday check out the ladies at reception ask if you want to reserve for next year. Every one says yes. :icon17:

That's how I got my cabin. My buddy who snagged a cabin last year gave me the reservation. Went with him to check out on Sunday and he passed the reservation to me. :rolleyes:

BTW, sorry guys my cabin is full and I have a line of people who have dibs on any open spots that might open up.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 04:05 AM.
