LostDenverite Posted April 29, 2013 Report Posted April 29, 2013 I hope I can survive these next 3 days of work...FML THREE days of work?!? We're supposed to be in Fontana in approximately 48 hours from now. I take it you're going later than sooner?
RDG_RCR Posted April 29, 2013 Report Posted April 29, 2013 Yeah, we arent leaving till dinner time on Wednesday. Should arrive mid/late morning Thursday. We are all either military or work for the Govt, so all of us getting the time off is tough.

RDG_RCR Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 It's so dead around here already! Safe travels to everyone getting on the road today. Even though we leave tomorrow night it feels like forever:banghead:
MMatarella Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 Hey non-MOTD goers... consider going to Mickey and MINI 9 with me in September with the Sunshine MINIs in ORLANDO This Florida transplant is going to have to do that this year. I had planned to make the Dragon, but not going to be able to. I'll do it solo on one of my FL-DC-FL trips this summer, or the Fall dragon. I need to check into Mickey and MINI! Not too far from me now

RDG_RCR Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 Why does everything have to be going crazy at work when I leave in a few hours!?!?!
Poison Ivy Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 I just read on the MOTD facebook page that there are cabins available at Fontana...

LostDenverite Posted May 6, 2013 Report Posted May 6, 2013 First time on The Dragon I was focused on staying on my side. But as I got comfortable with my new coilovers and sway bar keeping me stuck to the road I pressed my MINI harder. At one point my stomach did flip-flops...but my MINI held! As I drove faster I felt the corners of my mouth turning up until I realized I had a maniacal grin on my face. Will look to go back and spend more time outside Fontana. There is LOTS more worth doing there other than The Dragon (IMHO). P.S. - was on Rock Creek early this morning having Dragon flashbacks...but the mobile DC speed camera quickly fixed that!
JamesT Posted May 6, 2013 Report Posted May 6, 2013 Hmm, should I reserve a cabin or a room next year? Tough choice. I drove aroun to see which spots I liked. Would be hard to win best cabin if you don't have one. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

cmcveay Posted May 6, 2013 Report Posted May 6, 2013 We got home a little after 5 p.m. and the front yard was a jungle! Unloaded the car and decided to cut the grass. Chopper (the riding mower) is no substitute for a MINI but the front yard has as many turns as I want! It wasn't the same though. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
