Has anyone heard anything about the Dragon? I understand the the Gov of TN is unwilling to accept help from NC on the rock slide that happend recently. The resort may be forced to close. I think that it is still open but you have to enter from the South.
Thanks Taddeoeg but my comment was ment to insite conversation about a possible closing at the resort. From Facebook "Well Gang it is official the TN Governor has closed the Dragon and is unwilling to accept the help of NC for medical and law enforcement. We will probably be forced to close the resort and not sure we will reopen this year. Lots of rumors flying around as to when they will get the mess cleaned up. I have heard 14 week to Aug. I will let you know more when I do."
Geez people, let's read the whole story....
Tail of the Dragon It's official - Dragon is blocked off at the state line. TDOT now saying slide will be cleared on March 26. We'll keep you posted.
According to his FB page, it loooks like killboy is packing up his stuff and relocating- that makes it sound like the dragon will be closed longer than a week.

Sorry - to me Dragon is the road and the resort is Deal's Gap Motorcycle Resort. If they close it will be because of a drop in business - seems premature for them to spread so many rumors and stir up so much controversy when the TNDOT hasn't yet announced a re-opening schedule.
No reason you can't go into Deal's Gap from the south then ride up the dragon, turn around and ride back down. Should be fantastic - absolutely no chance of 18 wheelers and far less traffic!
