I have posted an update on the NAM thread.  Please go to that link the post just above and scroll to the bottom to read up.  I have included several more links for information, including TDOT and "Tail of the Dragon's" website.

In a nutshell... the only official posted date for reopening is March 26th.

Tail of the Dragon Just received a clarrification for the TNDOT Public Information Officer regarding the September 1 date. The date is an ESTIMATED date. The contract for clearing the slide will be awarded on Monday (3/29), at that time a more accurate opening date will be posted. TNdot DOES SAY it should take several months to clear ...the slide. We will post as soon as we hear updates. Yesterday at 10:21am.

I love this reply on that link Adam posted:

"

4 weeks to award a contract! Thats the same government mentality thats going to administer your health care! "Mr. Jones, we'll call you in a couple weeks when we contract you a heart specialist for your ticker problem." Don't call us, we'll call you!

Ocoee rockslide last Oct was suppose to be a few weeks to clear, it still ain't open !

I'm sure that the Sea Bees could clear that whole mountain and build an international quality runway right beside the lake in the time its taking to award a $&^%&^ government contract. Believe me! I've seen em do it!

Lawyers and politicians stuffing their pockets, thats all its about !

Well, I'm out! Seems Regina has an event that Sunday she has to attend and Christy (who really wanted to run the Dragon) has a school function that Saturday. No sense in going down for just one day.

So I have a room at the Inn in Fontana if anyone is interested in it! Just shoot me a PM if ya are!
