Tail of the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway run
Saturday, September 20th, 2014
Tail of the Dragon = 318 curves in 11 miles Cherohala Skyway = 43 miles of God's Country that leaves no doubt as to why it was registered a National Scenic Byway Same as in years past: Charlotte / Piedmont area crowd leaves Troutman / I-77 @ 5:45am. Meet up with some of the western NC crowd & hotel overnighters at the I-40 Exit 44 Cracker Barrel for breakfast @ 8am. Meet up with everyone else at Fontana Dam @ 11am. Catch up, have some laughs, take in the scenery, then head out northbound to run the Dragon & Cherohala Skyway after. Excellent drive, and excellent opportunity to get professional photos of your car in action. |
So far we have 3 cars coming from Raleigh.
We will overnight Friday at the Sleep Inn at Exit 44 on I40, and meet everyone at the Cracker Barrel at 8 AM for breakfast, then on with the fun. After the Saturday rides we will motor to Mooresville, overnight at the Sleep Inn at Exit 36 on I77, and attend the AutoFair in Concord on Sunday. |
I'm looking forward to catching up again. 3-4 cars from here so far, & it sounds like ratdog is planning to meet us in Asheville.

Anyone that wants the pictures from the ride yesterday can give me their email or phone number and I will send them the pictures. Took about 80 photos. Was nice meeting everyone, just wish I had my build completed to have rode with everyone.

Thanks again for doing that. You and your wife spent considerable time and effort doing those photos! I hope you got some good ideas from all the different cars that were there.
I'll PM my email again... if I can upload the shots to the site via a gallery or something so everyone can see and you have no objections, I will try to do that sometime this week. Larry |
I got some good ideas from several people. Ratdog give me a lot of tips and ideas. Your welcome and you can post the photos, will look forward to seeing them posted.

Okay, so contacting fomoco12 for the link to his online album may indeed be the way to go for seeing all of the photos. For the sake of the open forum, I'll just post some of the highlights in this thread:
