just noticed a lot of you are from NC. my husband & I did a road trip last july from Gettysburg (flew in from mn) all the way down to Atlanta. his niece lives near franklin, NC.. so we didn't get over to the dragon but went on some great twisty mountain roads. beautiful landscape there!!
We also had the adventure of driving down a tight twisty mt road in the rain...almost hitting a dog that darted out of the woods...then only to come upon a tree across the road...was
interesting turning around a rental car w/ little visibility & no shoulder & a lonnnggg way down.
back on topic...we also moved over for a porsche & bmw who were obviously on a drive...
