My vacation report

Greetings all,

  Well I am back from the Dragon, well I have been back for over two weeks and have not updated the blog yet. I wanted to let things "digest" before reporting back, after that well I was just tired and not in the mood to write. I am not really good at recapping what I did on a week long vacation so I won't. I will say that I had a wonderful time. The weather was pretty good, well there were pretty bad tornadoes near by but they did not reach Fontana Village. I did meet a few new people as well as reconnected with some old friends. Sadly a few were missing, hopefully they make it next year. I will say though that while it was indeed a great time there was less of a party vibe this year. Not really in a bad way just different.
The roads were still as twisty as I like them. I will say I was not really into group drives this year. I find some people push it a little beyond what I am wiling to do on a public road. I prefer just to go at my own pace. Once again I want to say it was great and I am going back next year.
Well actually I plan on returning before that. I am in the very early stages of planning a Fall trip. At this point I have one person joining me, my friend Colin. We do plan on doing some driving/riding(motorcycle) but this trip will be more about camping type activities, hiking kayaking. I have a friend who live in the area that can be out guide, he may not be able to literally guide us everywhere but I am sure he can direct us to cool places. I will be inviting others to join us but it will be pretty open, if they want to burn up the roads all day but meet up in the evenings for a campfire that is cool with me. I do want to keep it small though.

 A week after I got home it was time for the Rammstein concert. There really isn't much to say here either it was awesome. Good loud music, lots of fire effects. Our seats were pretty good too. The next day at work was a little rough though. Just under three hours sleep sucks, but is was totally worth it.
