FYI... 2 months to SITM '08

Two months from today, I will be packing up the car and getting ready to head out (I'll actually leave on Thursday the 5th). Whoo Hooo!

Like the last 2 years many people are planning on staying overnight in Knoxville, TN (actually it's Alcoa, TN) and driving the Dragon ont he way in to Banner Elk. The past 2 years we've stayed at the Comfort Suites in Alcoa, TN.

Here a thread dedicated to the Dragon run.

I learned my lesson from the previous posts, here are the specifics. (Taken form 928 Spec website)
