Well I just booked my cabin at Caney Creek, a $167.00 for (3) nights, unbelievable That is for the cabin w/ a single bed, but they have another cabin, or two, that sleeps (8), so those of you guys who don't mind company and wanna save some $$$$, I suggest you get that one and your individual cost would be VERY low Heres the phone number for Caney Creek (800) 251-9658 and the website is www.caneycreekvillage.com I stayed here two years ago when I first did the Dragon Run and its a nice place to stay and its only 4 miles N of where the Cherahola Skyway begins. For those of you who don't know, the Cherahola Skyway leads right into the Dragon and is about 57 miles long and has great elevation changes, GREAT places to stop and take pics, restrooms and did I mention the scenery The turns on the Cherahola Skyway are nothing to sneeze at either, but aren't as technical as the Dragon, but VERY rewarding none the less!


I told the lady on the phone that a couple of you would be calling her, so she's expecting your call. I wanted to book this place early because last year there was this panning for gold weekend and they were all booked up. If for some reason they get booked up, they will suggest another cabin group to you, like they did for me last year, this way I wasnt' left out and far away from all the action. I can't say this enough, if you haven't been here, you need to be! Everything is great, including the people, the food, the roads and the weather. For those of you who don't know, I've been doing this Fall Dragon Run for the past (2) years and its a 580 mile drive one way for me, so I don't wanna hear about the drive from anyone, LOL!


If someone else would like to suggest another cabin/bed and breakfast, etc in the area, please chime in as choices are good BTW, can we PLEASE have this thumbtacked, thanks.

Would that actually be 4 miles south of the skyway?

This is the way to find out what your car is all about, but listen to me when I say this, make sure the brakes are NEW, as well as your tires I'm not sure how many CEG-ers will be there, but there will be ALOT of other cars out there doing the same thing, having the best time you can have in a car!

Brakes and tires don't have to be new necessarily but definitely in good condition. My contour's tires are made for the abuse I give them nor are the brakes. My brakes could not handle the abuse and smoke was pouring off of them, especially on the skyway. .... And it's fun to spin your car around on the dragon, but be careful, it would be easy to slide off the cliff. .... I'll try to make it again this year, in the escort. Maybe ya'll can keep up.

Has anyone made their reservations to Caney Creek yet? The reason I ask is because I wanna know my neighbors that weekend


Kremit: I'm glad you tires/brakes are ok, but this time, take it easy around that and all the turns, we don't want someone from the CEG getting hurt, well, physically anyways, mentally and ego wise, that'll learn yah
