Monday 8/12
Today's plans were to enjoy some fun days on a couple of very well known roads; a somewhat challenging one and a scenic one
 we headed out across the Fontana Dam before heading to the Tail of the Dragon  
    


The Tail of the Dragon, 318 Curves (all named) in 11 miles - do the math!!!
 Dragon Elevation Map  Dragon Radar Map
    
Doug lead the charge up the tail ...turn after turn, some banked from one to the other
  
    
 Along the route, there are multiple locations where Professional Photographers are positioned to catch YOUR action shots (like above)  
 
Video clips of the Tail of the Dragon (WMV format)
;
    
 There was one section that had one lane washed out and there was a red-light for the temporary one-lane road   
    
Once up the Tail of the Dragon, we stopped for a leg stretch and other necessities

Glenda led us back down the tail; there were 6 driver changes at the top so the former passenger could enjoy slaying the dragon
 
    
After returning back down the Tail of the Dragon, we stopped at the Deal's Gap Stores for souvenirs of "Slaying the Dragon 
    
The Dragon has snatched many a motorcycleThe Tree of Shame didn't get any Vette parts
    
  
The Dragon Slayers
    
    
 we met a couple in a Carbon Fiber Z06 which helped us with group photos and we took theirs as well  
    
we had lunch at Deal's Gap before loading back up They even had "Green Man Ale" for anyone feeling a little wheezy
