How do we go about getting refunds for registering? I saw Bryan mentioned it, but didn't give a way to request for a refund. Just email him I assume?

Yea, e-mail him.

I see disc golf is on the list, I am wondering if they made any discs. Need to email Bryan.
I'll donate a registration fee in exchange for some :tup:

I just got a text from Brian... He stated that ZdayZ probably would have still been a go if all of us didn’t shower together like we have done in years past.... I guess he’s right. I know I really didn't get rid of last years “virus’” for about 6 weeks and several shots of penicillin...

Brian said a lot of the Z guys make some bad decisions fueled by alcohol... :ugh2:

You contracted syphilis or crabs? Thats what they normally use penicillin for back in Vietnam!!! Lol

Where in the new age of viruses now!

Sharing undies didnt help I bet.

I only fuel good decisions with alcohol :tup:

Ahhh thats very thoughtful of you Madwi!!!

Did you see crabs crawling in your garage yet?

Yes. I carry a Ruger super blackhawk .357 mag revolver now just in case I see anymore.

:roflpuke2:

Find that in your underwear one morning after a one night stand. :eek:

Madwi who did you make out with hairy Godzilla ?

That must pack a lot of big ITCHES!

Sorry EW....copyright infringement!

That is a hitchhiker on the undies from when you tried em on.

:shakes head:

now im having zdayz dreams and there is no zdayz.

:shakes head:

Better increase your med dosage.

oh i've def been self medicating lol

ZdayZ, ok, how did I miss this.... not that it happened,
but it is moving to Blowing Rock, NC....

I had thought in the beginning, it was going to be the November if they had it.... and was just checking the web site.

hmmm... and I never made it when it was in Fontana, which I didn't realize was 90 minutes from me...

was this every posted here????
:icon14:

all ZdayZ info is pretty much housed on the FB group.

may was cancelled
november was a possibility at fontana.
fontana previous management company boned us all.
we went elsewhere
2 weeks ago a small group tested blowing rock site for the new location for zdayz.

aside from 4 people possibly getting covid it was a success.

area is a whole different ballgame vs fontana and sheer wilderness. however, i kinda enjoyed the change. all i packed was a bag of clothes and my golf clubs. across the street from the resort is a food lion and 5 min down the road is a publix. it's not a dry county like fontana so i could get beer and liquor there and not have to haul it down.

tanger outlets next to the resort in case you forgot anything.

tons of good places to eat all around the area.

plus for me there's a bunch of golf courses which is also a bonus.

Thanks for the updated......

How many people showed up? And how are the roads? The main draw to Fontana was the Dragon.

honestly i do not know an exact amount. the resort is much larger than fontana so i dont think i saw everyone who attended.

as for the roads not gonna lie i didnt do either drive with the groups. i went golfing instead. however the roads i drove to get to these courses felt like that windy 4 lane bit of 26 when you get close to fontana. i know we go pretty much the same 3way so i think you've been on it.

this does not have the dragon which sucks, but honestly with the addition of things to actually do and good food i think it evens out. they found roads around to drive that do look good. with more time i'm sure i would join in may on those drives.

I don't know how I feel about the move. It makes the trip that much longer and will increase cost more than I wish to pay. If I want to party at resort and play golf I can stay out west for that. This may end my run of bringing the Z to ZDAYZ. I may still show but without a Z car.

firstly, that was a description of what i did personally. i enjoy golf and there werent many of the people i'm normally with around so i kinda went off on my own.

the group as a whole did runs each morning with set routes testing new roads in the area. so there are roads to drive they just are not the dragon. honestly, at this point with the increase in TN cops who's only goal is to generate revenue the dragon kinda lost it's spark for me. i guess when a trooper coming at you turns around and busts you completely lying about you speeding and them making up a speed since they didnt gun you leaves a sour taste.

moving on from that, you fly in and ship your car. this is actually 2 hours drive closer to charlotte douglas airport (CLT) vs fontana. so technically the trip is shorter since i assume you flew into that airport. i cannot remember for sure though.

I understand this was a test run so all is not clear. I don't have an issue with driving other roads for fun it just loses the magic of the Dragon being a world known destination.

Hell I am not against playing golf as I would have joined you. I love the game. I think you just lose some if the intimacy with not being held hostage and too many distractions.

As far as cost, transportation cost for vehicles will be up significantly as we generally have the car shipped to Atlanta or Nashville where we have a safe place to pick them up. The new venue adds a days drive for the transport and right now transport cost for big rig is more than double what it was pre pandemic. The other cost are nominal and just the cost to come party and hang out with you guys so that's not really an issue but $4k to bring my car is over the top.

ahhhh yea you guys shipped to ATL and hooked up with forged performance i think was the process.

wonder if there is a way just to send them to CLT airport and you all fly in to there instead. it's only 1.5 hours from the resort.

but yea i get it no dragon semi kills it for some people. if it was my first year or two i'd probably be bummed but after 7/8 years at zdayz the dragon is awesome but like i said the cop heat and over crowding kinda killed the allure for me personally.

as much as i liked being secluded, now having food options and can pack lighter with shopping options for food/booze is a nice change.

tony, nina, and myself hit a nice italian spot as expected lol i went alone and hit a seafood place and made them regret $35 all you can eat shellfish. i did damage there lol

i do see another benefit to having more entertainment options is that maybe it can lighten the load on settle and Michelle. they do so much every year i think they deserve a little less stress.

I think it is going to be thumbs-up for some and a joy kill for others. Many from the southern states that like to drive up from Florida, Georgia and surrounding states may opt out, but there may other from the Northern states that may decide to participate.

i dont mind it saves me 2 hours drive time lol

google told me 7.5 hours......i got there in 6.

however driving home with traffic here and there took 7.25 hours.

I'm from FL. I will be making the drive to the new location. This is gonna be a much nicer drive since we dont have to go thru or around atlanta, just up I-95. Fontana kinda put a bad taste in people's mouths. Gift card money grab was bad and then not honoring deposits. $400 deposit for a cabin and each of my 10 people in the cabin probably had $200-$400 gift cards each.

Also another people from my club had rats in their cabin. Basically no upgrades and the previous owners knew it was guaranteed money from us.

This will be my 7th year and honestly it was getting stale since the location sucked. Less and less vendors every year, and people hogging up reservations and not using them. New people are hesitant to go if they can't stay on site, but with the new location there is plenty of new spots to stay walking distance from main resort.

Are the above dates also correct for when ZdayZ is going to be held in Blowing Rock?

I thought it was the week before Memorial Day weekend. This is 2 weeks before...

:confused::confused::confused:

US 221 looks like it has potential and of course the Blue Ridge is right there... but that turns into a slow-moving dumpster fire at any time other than early dawn...

Not sure how I feel about this. Kinda a kick in the nuts. I came for the driving.

no i believe it is 5/20-5/23 or whatever that thursday-sunday is.

i can confirm with settle later because i still need to rebook my room for may.

they found many routes and tested a few while we were there in a few weeks ago. i'm sure there's still good driving to be had.

I'm up in the air for next year.

i'm going.

i enjoyed the change and with more people for the full event i wanna see how it goes.

plus cant beat a nice getaway even if i just golf and eat like a king again lol

How were the cops? Wonder how it will be with a full event.

Wifey wants to go. She says that there is more for her to do there.....................like shopping. :shakes head:

no cop issues at the small event.

i did hear some people complained about noise of 1 condo. i believe it was people who the townhouse is their permanent residence and probably bitch anytime someone is visiting the one above and make any noise at all.

that is where i see a bit of a downfall since i am of the group who will have people over for bevs and conversation probably come drinking games and music as well lol

i had about 10 people over at mine and had no complainants even with people staying below me.

she could legit walk to the outlets lol
