Tail of the Dragon
Anyone interested in caravaning to this US 129 stretch? 318 curves in 11 miles. It's where a lot of the car commercials are shot. About a 9 hour drive from bdyman's summer meet... hmm..

I am going to my parents house next weekend which is about 30 minutes from there so if then I will go. I have to take vacation just to get a weekend off so that may be my only chance for another month or 2.

Been there twice and no more vacation time for now...
Plus I think I'd rather drive the Cherohala Skyway from doing both two times.

yeah I wanted to get a few flyby videos but it might be hard to do
I doubt this will happen, just thought I'd throw the idea out there and see if anyone's interested in hanging out for a weekend.
