I'm in but all depends on the week and if it conflicts with the Country Music Marathon in Nashville April 30th. I led a group in October to deals gap and the fall colors were awesome. We camped at Cheoah Point Campground which is a very nice place to camp and I would recommend those that want to camp stay there, I plan to if I go in April. I was there this past June and October and wasted a set of tires between the two trips. We made day runs and night runs. The night runs were way faster, being able to see lights around the curve meant you could drive more aggressive and lift if you see lights.

I have found in my trips that the traffic is way less during the week than on the weekends.

We are planning another Fall Dragon Camp next October, 3rd weekend, plan for it. You want to be there, trust me.

My favorite road in the area is Hellbender 28 between Deals Gap and Fontana Dam. The Cherohala Skyway is next followed by the Dragon which is just too damn tight to enjoy.

We made a big loop using the Dragon, scenic hwy 360 and Cherohala Skyway, takes several hours with a few stops. We spent time at Fontana Dam, so plan on seeing that.

I would suggest going for three days Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and drive back Sunday morning.

Count me in.

So far so good. I just hope I can finish the beer tour before I leave.

Damn now I'm really excited. I hope it works out that I can make it down with you guys when you decide to go!

 

[Lewis7789]

I'm in (assuming the new motor bugs are all worked out by then) and I like the Thursday-Friday-Saturday-Sunday idea too.

I may not have that much vacation left, as mine runs from July 1 to june 31. Don't ask why my guess is so that everyone uses their vacation time up in the summer and fall and has none left for the following spring. Oh well I may have to call in dead a few days cause I aint missin this!

 

[08cosmic3]

Ok guys this sounds like it's going to happen which is great, another excuse for me to go to Deals Gap. What is this trip/meet going to be called? Has to have a name.

I would be very interested in this run, if a ky guy is welcome. I ran the dragon in 11 Min on my GSXR 1000, Don't think the speed3 would do that.

 

[rally2003]

I've always wanted to go, so this would be the perfect excuse. Do It!
