so far Johnny is in for the Friday and Saturday night bunkhouse. I'm hesitant to sign up for both nights without a few others committing as money is tight right now. Any other definites?

There are pictures of the bunkhouse on ironhorse's website http://ironhorsenc.com/. And they cook the most delicious breakfast and dinner, though of course you have to pay for them, WELL WORTH IT! Friday nights they have killer prime rib (or they used to anyway...been a couple of years since I've been there). Folks rave about it for a reason. Those cooks (and old man and woman couple) know their way around a kitchen!
There's also a pool table, big ass movie screen with movies, and nice showers in the main house.
Now that I've tried to sell it, any other takers for bunkhouse spots for both nights?

ally99 · April 5th, 2014, 08:58 AM

I reserved a bunkhouse bed for me Saturday night. I think they only have 1 or 2 left, so if anyone else is interested, you may want to give the Ironhorse a call. I like camping, but I hate taking all the camping gear on the bike, and to me, it's not worth setting up tent for just one night.

Sipper' · April 5th, 2014, 04:17 PM

I've got a room booked at my niece's house at the base of Dragon, for several days if needed.

ally99 · April 17th, 2014, 08:23 AM

Whoo hoo! Is it May yet?!?

JohnnyBravo · April 18th, 2014, 02:59 PM

I might be able to ride up for a day... But I have court the 16&17, and a new puppy, so I won't be able to stay more than a day or two :/ I don't really wanna put my pup in the hotel for to long. Or court may say I can't drive anymore

scorch · April 18th, 2014, 04:35 PM

im in knoxville now, going to hit the gap tommorow anyone down there want to show me roads?

JohnnyBravo · April 18th, 2014, 04:39 PM

See if you can catch up with OP or cb...

scorch · April 18th, 2014, 05:08 PM

anyone know the cheapest places to stay near the gap?

JohnnyBravo · April 18th, 2014, 06:38 PM

Not many options. Most may be booked by now. There's the Ironhorse as mentioned above. Camping is cheap. There's Two-Wheels Only, but I've not stayed there before. There's Deals gap at the end of the Dragon, but guaranteed full this close.

Hey Blue, i found lots of waterfalls on that area. One just south of this one you can even walk behind it.

Here is the ride report from my recent trip there

That looks like the one that was under construction/rehab the last time I was there.

subxero · April 25th, 2014, 08:23 AM

i'm most likely out of this. Some other things have come up on that weekend which would make it difficult for me to get away for the entire weekend.

Maybe next time

Sirref · April 25th, 2014, 12:38 PM

Turns out I have an exam on the 20th so I'll be down for fri-sat-sun (16/17/18) head down fri morn, leave sun afternoon.

verboten1 · April 25th, 2014, 12:38 PM

The wife and I will actually be riding Cherohala Skyway, over to the dragon, then through the park to PArson branch.

if you see this pair, it's us!
.

TnNinjaGirl · April 25th, 2014, 12:40 PM

Can you do Parson's Branch on a ninja 250?

verboten1 · April 25th, 2014, 12:42 PM

if she can't, she can take the KLR through, I'll take the ninja. if it's been dry enough, I plan on checking out water crossings around the area before we go

ally99 · April 25th, 2014, 03:37 PM

Hey all. Ok, roll call! Who's definitely in?

I'm riding up Saturday, will be there before lunch. Staying in a bunkhouse at the Ironhorse motorcycle lodge. I'll ride back home Sunday after lunch.
Is there a plan? A meeting time or spot for those of us arriving saturday?
I'm going to definitely hit the Cherohala while I"m there, probably Sunday. It is a MUST-RIDE while in the area.

So roll call! Copy and paste this into your reply and add your name to the list:
1) Ally 17th-18th
2)
3)
4)
5)

Surprised they had room. I thought all us V-Stromers had it all booked up. The Eastern V-Strom gathering is at Iron Horse that weekend so I'll already be there on the Strom. I would like to ride the Dragon on the Ninja sometime though.

ninjamunky85 · April 26th, 2014, 06:51 PM

I was inspired by Scorch's latest journey. I'll be ready to camp or whatever I have to do.

Same here, though I was already planning to go before scorch's journey. I didn't do a big trip last year so I want to do one this year. Maybe next year I'll head down to key west on my bike or something, at some point I'm going to eastport maine (farthest point east in the continuous & my uncle lives there & my lil sister goes to school in the area) and later on a trip to cali/oregon/vancouver/toronto & back. I'd say my 300 is capable of it hahaha

If you end up camping, then I'll be camping too since I don't have a reservation yet.

ninjamunky85 · April 27th, 2014, 01:56 PM

Uhhh never mind, I forgot that I'm going to be at Rock on the Range that weekend... duhh. I am planning on taking a trip down there, but it will probably be the week before or the week after the rally.

GearMonkey · April 28th, 2014, 11:49 AM

I'm a maybe for the 18th, depends on if I get back to atlanta the day before. I'd just be coming up for the day though.

verboten1 · April 28th, 2014, 02:01 PM

I just realized the wife and I will be slaying the Dragon on thursday, but we will be in the area all weekend

Hope to see some of you around!

tc.young · May 1st, 2014, 07:55 AM

my friend and i are going to be in the area the 15th to the 17th. coming down from nyc, taking the blue ridge parkway. hit the dragon maybe friday then explore the area as the dragon is a circus on the weekends. we'll come by and see some of you though.
