WOW!


If you look at the tag on the photo, they took a picture of a future rock slide.

3/17/12? isn't that tomorrow?

Pretty sure you can get to it by taking the Foothills Parkway. You just can't ride from 411 to 129 to the Dragon. Out of Maryville, take 321 towards Townsend and turn right on the parkway. At the parkway end, turn left that's 129 close to the Dragon.
After seeing a local news story...I don't know if you can get to it that way or not.

Rode it yesterday. From the NC side you can go to the Overlook at 8 mm then turn around and ride back. Should be totally open in a couple of days.
