OK, I have checked out the proposed route. It makes the Dragon look more like a gecko. The proposed route is SWEET.

I used to do a ton of Mtn Biking in WNC in my racing days... Every spring I would spend a week in Bryson City training.
I remember a road out of Bryson, that goes to a never completed tunnel. I miss that area of the country. Ferg

Had a blast
Met Jay on "the road". It was as described, miles of hard twisties on a nearly deserted road. We did 28 miles and only had to deal with one car going in our direction.
Here is a sample of the road:  The true sign of a Pelican:  I gotta get me one of these:

This road really needs to be kept under wraps for a while until we are tired of it.
 The last thing we want is it to become another Dragons Tail.

Jim,
I could not tell anyone where this road was if they tried to waterboard it out of me. Jay blindfolded me and confiscated my GPS before he flatbedded me to the jumping off point. Then blindfolded and flatbed for me on the way out as well. But the road time in between .... mmm mmm good.

Jay,
I was too busy trying to keep up with you to count the curves. Hoping to do the curve counting once the vids are up.

Jay,
I ran out tonight and bought the mount. Tried it out on the way home from BB. Worked great! Wide-angle lens is on order.

Jay,
Thanks for the invite. I wish I could have joined you guys, but I could not get away last w/e. Please email me next time you go as I would love to "unwind" on it sometime... If you ever make out our direction (bewtween Nashville and Memphis) give me a shout and I will show you one here that is one of our local favorites. Might not be as good, but it is good nonetheless. Shane
