Of course it's NEVER too early to start your plans. I'm betting on the biggest caravan ever from Greensboro, NC to the Dragon! You guys and gals need to plan on WEDNESDAY the 24th!

One group from Tidewater, VA (Norfolk, VA Beach...)
One group from Northern VA and above (you guys need to plan on joining me in Lynchburg)
One group from Central Carolina (Raleigh, Durham...)
One group from Richmond, VA
Finally catching some Asheville attendees for the last hour!

Getting antsy already, John? ;)

where is the florida caravan?

I don't feel like driving up by myself again... :-)

Bringing a crew up from Dallas/Ft. Worth. Don' know how many cars yet but several have shown interest in making the trip

There should be at least three 8's and maybe a 7 in the DFW caravan. :)

I'll admit, I was a little worried about the lack of interest in the first raffle. Since it's my job to be one of the cheerleaders this year, I decided to generate a little buzz around the country. Now we have at least Texas, Florida and Virginia awake.

we will prob meet you in richmond

Those of us in Norfolk/Virginia Beach will probably take 460 across to Emporia then I-85.

The mall is still there, I checked today while in Greensboro! So I'm thinking it's as good a place as any. Lot's of spaces for the MASSIVE crowd we're gonna have!

I'll be reppin the Asheville Crew :)

maybe you didnt notice the three accidents from DGRR! haha. poor janna

Yeah, it's hard to beat Janna for sheer volume of incidents, but we're still going to quarantine all you guys!

I had 3 accidents at DGRR?...
OH thats right.. 2 car accidents and then there was the accident where I peed my pants!.. Because Patrick and Micheal thought it would be funny to take advantage of my being affraid of the dark by make noises outside the cabin and kicking the door in!

lol nope i meant the tire that exploded into 459 pieces... that one

Okay, now that registration has begun...more caravans!

For the SC caravan I'm coming from Florence, so on my way to Asheville I'll pass through Columbia and then Spartanburg, who else is coming?

^^^that makes two of us, I'll meet you on the road as you pass by Orlando. Will you be taking the turnpike or I95???

I usually take 95 but it seems like the turnpike to 75 is more of a straight shot to bryson...

Don't forget the registration deadline!

There is an amazing LACK of people from Virginia and N. Carolina this year! If it ends up being a small group I may look at going down a little earlier Wednesday. I wonder about Ski?

1) 7andan8 (VR8)
2) Sumdeus (or somewhere along the way through NC)
3) G-ReX
4)

SO whats the status of this group? I was hoping to join in around Asheville.

im in asheville, but im going down there tuesday night after i get out of class and staying the night in the trailer i have by the lake :P

One new add-on:

1) 7andan8 (VR8)
2) Sumdeus (Asheville? Maybe 2:00 PM?)
3) G-ReX
4) Ski

So, is it noon at Greensboro? Same mall as last year?

And 2 in Asheville? Works for me, I am not too familiar with Asheville, so just let me know where that is going to be near a major road.

Actually Pat, Gary, could you guys make it earlier to Greensboro? Pat you have to drive the farthest so what do you think? Can you make 10:00 or 11:00?

Sumdeus, how will you be entering Asheville? Route 26? There is a Burger King off of Rt 40 (exit 44) where we could meet you.

It's 4.5 hours for me from here to Greensboro. 10:00 would have me leaving at 5:30 AM. Bleh. Maybe I can go for 6:30 and show at 11.

Yeah, I will be coming in on 26. BK on RT 40. got it.

ok i have the days off how much do i need to bring and is too late to get a room to stay in because i would love to go too

mclean, I don't think it's ever too late to get in on most of the fun. Not sure about the food service and how many extra people we can add. Email James from the BOTD website and ask ... BOTD (www.rx8botd.com)

As for the place to stay, that too shouldn't be a problem. We'll just have to post around and see who has an extra space. If you have plenty of cash to burn you can call Nantahala and get a place of your own though. NVNC (http://www.nvnc.com/)

11:00 it is!

Four Seasons Town Centre - Greensboro, NC

i wish i was gonna be able to make it, but thats the Navy for me.

i have a 2 bedroom trailer by fontana lake that will have a spare bed for now, if anyone needs it and is tight on cash for no charge. :)

A little less than 48 hours to go! I'll be leaving around 10 on wednesday, see you guys in Asheville around 2!

so meet at what part of the mall ?

greddy and i are gonna head up tuesday night so we are there early wed. so we wont be in the caravan on wed! good luck finding gas near asheville btw.. make sure you fill up before and after there :)

so meet at what part of the mall ?

We usually pull into the lot in front of Dillards. It's directly in front of you exiting off of Hwy 40 (Westbound). Plenty of extra spaces out by the edge for our first series of pictures. :)
