There is a cool road up in Tenn. that is everything the Dragon is except it is empty, no traffic, no leo nothing, it dead ends at the top of the mountains at the Tenn. / NC state line and was an old moonshine running road. It turns to dirt on the NC side so no one uses it.

Total blast to drive hard on, every time I have been on it, I am amazed to see 1 other car on it outside who I am running with.

I do like the sounds of this route 555, if I ever go up to see my Brother in Lexington I may take a side trip to see this.

My wife and I have discussed taking the Autotrain from Orlando to DC then road tripping back to Florida via the Blue Ridge with the E30. I have no problem wandering off course to drive some amazing roads.

Thanks for the info I had no idea this was such a cool road, just looking on a map the DC train sounds like it will make this doable.
