Tail of the Dragon

After driving the Blue Ridge Parkway I spent the next day driving the Cherohala Skyway and U.S. 129 at Deal's Gap, aka the Tail of the Dragon. It's 318 turns in 11 miles of complete fun.



Calderwood Dam.

A cool guy from Georgia in a Subaru WRX I was chasing through the corners.


Wearing yellow was a mistake, I had a huge bumblebee chasing me around when I got out of the car.

Cheoah Dam where they filmed The Fugitive.


Killboy's S2000.


The drive from the Cheoah River up to Deal's Gap.
Deal's Gap to the Tenn state line where the Dragon starts.

Safari Park - giraffes

 My favorite part of the safari was the giraffes, they are such beautiful animals and the park herd included several babies and juveniles.
