Caravan Details
Where: We will meet at the Fair Lakes, VA Starbucks (our "Old" Saturday meeting spot)
When: Plan to arrive between 5:30AM-5:45 AM on Sunday, May 15th. We will start the Caravan to ZDayZ at approximately 6:00AM. We'll coordinate the Post ZDayZ caravan once we are down there and have a better idea as to when everyone that wants to caravan can be up and at 'em and ready to roll.
Note that there is a Sunoco fuel station nearby if you need to fill up.
Please arrive with a full tank. If you continue driving past the meet location, make the first right after you cross under the bridge. The Sunoco will be on your left, next to the CVS.

Food & Drinks
As you can tell by the registration form, I'm trying to get a better gauge at how many mouths we have to feed for how many nights. Hopefully this will give us a good idea of what and how much food/drink we need to gather for the group. As the picture becomes a little more clear we can start compiling a list of what we need and see who plans on providing what.
We typically have standard grill fare, but if you have anything special in mind that you'd like to cook one night just let us know here and we can work with it. Also, if you have special dietary requirements let us know and we'll see what you can do, but chances are you'll need to provide your own food.
If you are willing to cook or help prepare a meal, please indicate that in a response. I'll update the meal list below as Chefs volunteer and menus are identified.

VOLUNTEER Event
MAZOC will be supporting ZDAYZ again this year by volunteering at registration. We have plenty of people (Listed below) and will be working the registration tables Friday from 1pm - 5pm. With the large number of folks we have, we should have enough to allow some of us to break away and see the Chris F. drift demo since it is happening during our registration period. I missed it last year, but I am willing to stay in the registration area to allow others to go to the demo. You just have to agree to take some video to show me ;-). Any others willing to stay at registration?

Things To Do
We may be organizing a couple fun and scenic loops like we have done in years past. We will probably have a winery, brewery
or a distillery tour (who am I kidding, this is MAZOC and I may need to change that "or" to an "AND"
), and maybe a trip to the "Mountain Roller Coaster" near Gatlinburg. An off-road trip in the Jeep will be planned as well. I'll provide details as we get closer to May. Please let me know if you want to lead any tours or outings.
OUTINGS:
FISHING: Steve will be doing some fishing and can give the schedule for me to post here.
4x4: I'll be taking the Jeep off-roading on Tuesday or Wednesday if anyone wants to ride along.
Cruise: To Gatlinburg to do the mountain roller coasters ?????? One idea
Cruise: To alcohol... Winery, brewery and distillery
