Re: Went to the Dragons Tail

If you can I definetely think it will be fun. Its 318 turns in 11miles. And we counted it is. The best part is thats just 1 road in the smokey mountains I plan to go next time and take a day just exploring. At first we weren't sure if it had started yet. It actually starts at "Deals Gap" - anyways the road leading to deals gap I thought were fun as hell.

Only rule of thumb that I can't stress more is if you go DO NOT CROSS THE DOUBLE YELLOW. Thats the fastest way to kill someone if its busy. Pretty much every turn in a blind turn and you can not see whats coming around the corner. And there is no room to swerve if you have to. there is no shoulders for the most part and just a cliff on the other with about 100 foot drop. (well about a 70 degree angle down)

Anyways. Plenty of other roads near by. And a sweet lake if anyone has a jet ski or boat. Hopefully come next year I'll either have a pair of Jet skiis or a boat. But that means I have to get something to haul them with beside my mothers 32' RV.
