Default Route 40 Alternate Route

Hey all, I see a lot in here about the dragon (TN 129) but this past weekend, I took 25/70 over the mountains instead of dealing with the 40 traffic where the rock slide happened. It was a great ride and there's even a saloon part of the way through. Unfortunately, I didn't stop because I was lloking for it on the opposite side of the road and was past it before I saw it

Hwy 70 from Asheville, NC to Newport, Tn. The saloon was probably in Hot Springs, NC.

If it was the Barbarosa Saloon on 25, you should have stopped. Great place, friendly people, really cold beer, and it's right by the river.
