    Video of a Small fire we saw on the way home just outside Cleveland.
    The smoke on the off-ramp almost killed us.

    Tim took these....
    It's amazing these are allowed on the dragon.

    Takes up WAY more than one lane. (in some corners, it's shoulder to shoulder, with the whole road blocked).

    I love that pic! I look pretty good, I've got to admit!

    The best story, Fing, was the literally death-defying
    ride up and along a banked earthen wall. It truly had
    to be witnessed to be appreciated. :O

    I miss the roads down there already

    that pic's actually from Cherohala Parkway.

    Here are a couple dragon pic's. I'll have to admit, I wasn't willing to push it as hard as some others were

    The close up shows what happened in a tight right hand hairpin

    I almost ran into that truck actually... I was initiating a left curve then out of the corner of my eye, I see a lot of lights... I hit the brakes, stopped *just* enough for the truck to clear me. I quickly turned around to chase the truck and snap some pics... while snapping pics, the trucker pulled over and started talking to me... he asked me first, "Are you gonna call the law?" I told him no, I just wanted some pics of a truck going through the road... Then he asked me how to get to the Fontana Dam. But I didn't know how many miles it was... LOL... I unknowingly told him 7 miles... but turns out to be more like 20 miles... hahaah...

    I am just daydreaming of all those roads... Ontario roads blow compared to the secondary roads down there. 129, Cherhola (sp?), 28, Blue Ridge, Skyway...the list goes on and on and on...

    $80 a night for double queen bed rooms. Was a great place to stay. Was just up the street from the Deals Gap Resort. Was actually a nice twisty road on the way to Fontana from the Deals Gap Resort. A steal at that price as it was secluded and had a couple of pools, rec centre and was quiet except for us crazy bikers.

    Just an old point and shoot - Canon S2IS.

    Any of the really good pics though are from V, and his SLR camera.
    The last 20 pics are not from my point and shoot.
