Fall '09- Rocket launch - Maggie Valley

rockets might like the rain but I for one am getting tired or riding in it all the time.....I think Ime gonna start leading and maybe I can out run it.....leaving rainman to get wet by himself:p
 
I am going to try to get my chapter up there for the event I have had a few people express intrist in riding the dragon that being said there could be a few more people than expected riding up with me. I am not sure wether they plan to take part or head off on there own but none the less I have marked it on my books and will have to wait a little bit before I know wether or not I have those days off. I should know some thing for sure in a couple of weeks.
