2011 Tail of the Dragon
The following is the general itinerary of the 2011 Tail of the Dragon Run. This annual event draws participants from several states and appears to be growing every year. We'll try to change a few cruise routes this year to keep things alive, but some things will never change! Based on past experience, there are some delays built-in that will allow us to stay on schedule and possibly add a site-seeing stop. Please note that we are scheduling a theater show Saturday afternoon for an entertaining rest break. This show will not appear as a scheduled show on their website, it will be added to their schedule for us and opened to the public as well.
