That was fun!

[Scavenger]

I just got cleaned up after the long drive back and thought I'd start this thread. I had a blast at MOTD and I bet a lot of others did too. Let's hear it! :party:

Had lots of fun but I'm so damn tired this afternoon. Thanks to the group of 15 on the run back home. It was great to have so many of us together!

[Brian0758]

I totally agree on the extreme fun and also extremely tired :top: I will be going back next year The Tail of the Dragon is incredible and so are all the roads in that area :motor:

[Mr EZ]

We had a wonderful group going and coming back as well during the meet. I expect to see pictures ASAP. As for my video shots it may take some time. The camera is not friendly with MAC and I haven't played with in quite some time.

 

thnaks Craig and Bill for sweeping and Craig and Marty for leading. :top::congrats:

 

It was a pleasure meeting those I hadn't before and a pleasure seeing the ones I new and hadn't seen in almost over a year.

 

Ohhhh 69........the sound of that pulley :motor:

[JustJAY]

I had a great time! Wish I could've driven more.

[TGGRRR (Ali)]

I had a blast the whole time. Tigger got his first mod and the flames. After that long drive home I washed and did a quick wax with slick just to see him all pretty and free of the road grime.

 

I learned a ton about my car and love it even more now. I still smile every time I hear the new sound of the engine from my new pulley or when I see those flames!!! What to do next?

 

I drove the Dragon twice once before the pulley and once after, there was a difference for sure. I really noticed it going home on the big up hills, Tigger was keeping up much easier.

 

I uploaded a slew of pics

Thanks to Craig, Marty and Rick for leading us home. I've never done a caravan like that before. It was way better then driving alone. Can't wait for next year.

Had an awesome time guys. Only downer is that my voice finally died this morning. Made for a pretty quiet drive home lol. Ended up with a final tally of 2230 miles for the whole trip. Prolly about the equivalent to the number of bugs that are plastered on the front of the mini lol.

 

I took a ton of pics and I know Deanna has already gotten some up on facebook, I'll get people tagged prolly by the end of the week.

[FAST060]

Ohhhhhh 68! (I owe ya one )

 

I had a blast. I felt kinda like an outsider before because I only showed up for Dinner Meet-ups...he he he. I think the DCMMers are the best group out there! Duh!

 

It was nice to get together outside of the Beltway Madness. I especially thank everyone for making my brother feel so at home. He is still telling my family about you all.

 

So, now it's time to get the plans together for our cabin for next year!

 

~Q~

[wolf617]

Great time! Perfect weather this year really helped.Nice meeting some of the VA DCMM members that I hadn't met before.

 

I posted some photos on the C3M site.

That was awesome... my 6th one, but I think it may well be my most memorable.

 

It was especially wonderful to see so many "Dragon virgins" from DCMM there this year. I hope you all can now see why it has become a permanent fixture on many of our calendars.

 

Let's make next year even better! :top:

[MMatarella]

...And the weather was so much better this year, and Sat and Sun so much better than I thought might be based on the predictions! My 6th year too.

 

In a few days I'll have some pics and video uploaded, including of two black bears about 50 feet off the edge of 441 going into Gatlinburg.

 

I had a great time as always, but sure was good to get back to my sweetie last night!

[carman63]

I agree with all of the above sentiments. Thanks again to the leaders and sweepers. I did 2 relatively minor mods, but oh the difference! Jennifer enjoyed her first drive on the Dragon, as did I, and we're looking forward to next year. :top:

 

Photos are posted on FaceBook, and I'll be working on some video.

Glad all the Dragon "virgins" had a good time. Now you guys know why we veterans gab about it so much!

Sorry I missed the caravan, but I had to get home ASAP as I have to leave for Pittsburgh tomorrow....blech....I have to drive our Subaru wagon. I'll be there 10 days or so, but will keep in touch on the computer...

[GreenCactus]

Like everyone else, I had a great time. It was so much fun to have so many members from DCMM there!

 

I can't wait until next year!

 

I should probably go unpack the car....

[MINInurse]

Hope everyone made it back to reality safe and sound. As always, had a BLAST!!! Hope you all did too.

[VioletDC]

I'm happy 2 hear every1 had a gr8 time and made it home safely. Next year will be my & Scoopie's 1st time, dammit! Gives me somethin' 2 save up 4! :top:

OMG! Tigger's flames are AWESOME, Ali!!! Beaaaauuuuutiful! :congrats:Love all your pics ... esp. the 1s w/the 1st Gen bonnets up, lighting the night sky! Faaaabulous! :top::top::top:

[TGGRRR (Ali)]

Audrey -

We did the lazy bonnets up in the parking lot of the Microtel. There were 2 gen ones so we each raised our bonnets at dark and took the pics. It was fun even if we weren't on the dragon.

[VioletDC]

Ha! That was waayyyy cool! :top: I'm doin' it next year! LOL!

[fassbender]

Hi! Its Jennifer! We had a blast on our first dragon trip! Thanks for all the great memories. Thanks to the leads & sweepers for all the coordination. I now officially have Mini-envy!

[tucker-n-buddy]

Looks like you all had a great time. I sure hope I can go next year. Is it always the last weekend in April?

[Edge]

More accurately, it's the first weekend in May (and the days proceeding it, starting Wednesday).
