Finally home from my 2nd annual Tail of the Dragon adventure
From NC to NH yesterday was 1030 miles in 15hr 50mins
A total of 2700 miles since Tuesday at 33.7 avg MPG and a total of 13 different states. NH, MA, CT, NY, PA, NJ, MD, VA, WV, TN, NC, SC, and GA.
Sampled some of the absolute best driving roads in the entire country in the area known as the Smokey Mountains:
Tail of the Dragon - Needs no introduction. 318 corners in just over 11 miles.
Cherohala Skyway - A beautiful mountain pass that peaks at over 5300 feet in elevation. Fast sweeping bends. Stunning views
Moonshiner 28 - A mountain pass that has wonderful highly banked corner after corner. Travels from TN all the way to GA.
Devils Triangle - Even more challenging, and definitely more dangerous than the Dragon, with significantly less traffic.
Blue Ridge Parkway - Did this at night, so not much scenery, but a great driving road nonetheless.
