Glad you had a great ride down there. Took my dad there a few years ago and he had a ball dragging floor boards. I found US29 back in the late 70's quite by accident. Was headed to Knoxville from East NC. Had a great time as few bikes were there then. I am headed down in a couple weeks for a weekday run as a memorial ride as my dad passed away this spring. He really wanted to do that ride again, so my brother and I are doing it for him. Catch you on the curves!

This looks promising! We added this to our list - any guess on how far down before it turns into a dirt road?

Glad I could help. I used the americaridesmaps waterfall maps last year and had a great time.

Headed to Tn. Labor Day weekend, might just have to cut through the mountains again instead of taking I40.
