Just past (a few miles) the Hwy. 90 intersection in Lenoir on Hwy. 321 N. is Hwy. 268. T.R. on it to go to Wilkesboro. Road is narrow and twisty at first. It's a N.C. Scenic Byway.

let me know. I did a trip this summer with another member out of conn. We went out to Sturgis and around. 4400 miles in 8 days. Just take your time and take some breaks you should be fine. It will probably take 8 hrs. or so for your little trip.

When 64 hits 74-A near Bat Cave try heading towards Ashville on 74-A. Turn around at Fairview and head back to Lake Lure. Great twisties in that short stretch.
