ekam,
Been there once a year for the past 5 years. Great road.
Saturdays are real busy so get up early to run it before all the traffic hits.
Another great road is Rt 28 from Deal's Gap. There's a power dam along the way that has a visitor's center at the top and a picnic area below. I think it's Fontana Dam.
At Lauada NC, Rt 28 turns south towards Franklin. That road has 55 mph speed limits and is a blast- not as curvy as the Dragon so more speed.
The Cherohala Skyway is a nice leisurely drive- take 143 west from Robbinsville.
The Two Wheel Inn has nice rooms, the are located just south of Robbinsville.
This time of year shouldn't see that much police activity.

Have fun,
mike
