Went to see the Dragon last Thursday-First, we visited the Arboretum and the Crafts Center in Ashville NC, had a nice meal and set off for Robbinsville NC the next morning. Got started on the curvy part about ten am-it was over way too soon! But not soon enough for my wife! Its impossible to drive this road without total concentration, so no Dragon photos. The 99 996 without PSM was great-just point it where you want it to go and it does the rest! The leaves are down at this time of year-good for seeing further around the curves.
Returned to Robbinsville via the Cherohala Skyway. There were sections with a thick coating of salt on the road at the highest elevations, so I headed for the car wash as soon as we arrived back in Robbinsville. Time for a cold beer-right? Wrong! Robbinsville and the surrounding county are dry! Aaagh! No one told me or I could have figured out something.
