RTD26 (Rock the Dragon 2026)

 Our spring trip to the Tail of the Dragon on the NC and TN border. This is the first and biggest group trip we take. It used to be Thursday to Sunday but since so many of us are now retired a few of us start on Tuesday, this time in Abingdon VA and work our way down to NC.

A small group of us meet days ahead of the normal event to drive the fun roads in VA/WV/TN/NC.


The overlook at the VA and WV border, hence the "Almost Heaven" sign.

When we're not driving we're usually eating or stopped on the side of the road for a quick break and chatting about cars and driving.
We found a valley of Amish farms with only one road in and out and among the farms is the most wonderful General Store full of all kinds of treats.

An Amish "scooter".
