Just Back From Dragon's Tail
A friend and I left out of Columbus GA last Thursday for Deals Gap and just got back yesterday. All in all it was a little over 1250 miles. Dragon's tail is a blast to ride. I made 6 passes over the weekend. With the reputation, I thought that the sport bikes would be a problem but they were not, most were respectable. LEO wasn't a big problem either. People were good about warning you where they were and not too early as to take away from the experience. We stayed in a cabin in Big Ridge State Park which is on hwy 61. Hwy 61 has some uphill hairpins that are 1st gear turns and alot of fun. Hwy 61 got me thinking, I did not see many locals at Deals Gap. I bet they were riding the roads only they know about. Coming home we rode US129 south to Hwy 19. That is some beautiful country.

Did you get a chance to do the Cherohala Skyway? Living in N. GA I have done a few day trips so far this summer and have to say that if you don't get up this way often you should try the Cherohala as well, it is beautiful country. Another nice ride that is a bit closer is Wolf Penn gap. Not as populated as the Dragon (most days). And has some serious turns.

I just realized you are from Smith Station. I used to live in Columbus and my next door neighbor just moved to Smith Station. Wow, what a small world.

Do you have a "victor" identifier?
I tried to hang around and still only got 3.5 yrs. That was a long tour for me LOL
though I have a buddy in acquisition that got there a couple of years before me (he started 1998). Lives in LaGrange, he is still there, but his assignment moved to Ft. Gordon. Yours is crazy...
