Slaying the Dragon

.

Sunday afternoon, 3-29-09, we drove to Deals Gap, NE of Chatanooga, TN, just south of the Smokey Moutain National Park and parked along the road, next to the Little Tennessee River Reservoir (top pictures). Monday morning we drove up the Tail of the Dragon, an 11 mile stretch of road containing 318 curves. http://www.tailofthedragon.com/ The Dragon is a mecca for crotch rocket motorcycles and sports cars. It is a beautiful piece of road with hairpin curves and clean asphalt. I drove up, Rae drove down, we had lunch, then Rae drove up and I drove down. There were three photographers along the way taking pictures. You can go to their web site and buy copies. Rae video taped me driving. You can watch it on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjVU5wMnrLQ

So, we both slayed the Dragon. Loads of fun.
