Default Dragon Run 1/25

There will be some Nashville area vette running the dragon this Sunday if anyone would like to join us. We should arrive at the dragon around 10:30AM Eastern I hope. Send me a PM if anyone needs more details...

Hi. I just drove up from Fort Lauderdale to Pigeon Forge yesturday. I would like to see if I can make it out there with you guys. Do you know if there is snow/ice on the dragon? The mountains here and Gatliburg have snow on them. Thanks.

I believe the Dragon is a lower elevation than what you are talking about there. The Cherohala might also have the same issue but we won't be going up there either. The high there today is supposed to be 60, 49 Saturday and 48 Sunday. We will try to double check conditions with Killboy and post back.

We are heading out of Nashville around 6:30 (central time) and stopping for breakfast on the way - so we should be there around 10-11 Eastern time.

EB or Nithros - does that sound about right?
