2008 Tail of Dragon trip

[QUOTE=skip_168]Boxsters love the mountains of NC! My parents have a house in Bryson City, (about 40 minutes east of the Dragon), so When you guys go, I will come out..


One sugestion for the trip:



28 between Franklin & Bryson city is better than the dragon.. the speed limit is 55!!

I was scrubbin' tires in the boxster & never made it over 45!

I saw a cop car in photo 49 or so. Did you guys have issues with the law? Did you see the yellow Lotus that was in pic 70? Dang, I hate that I missed the trip.

We saw quite a few cops on the Dragon. Then we would just out-run 'em!

Here are a bunch of pictures on page #1 & #2:

Yeah, she didn't take the dramamine in time so she wasn't feeling very good.

Bill, How is the tire holding up?

hey, you're welcome.... that road will give you a workout, thats for sure....

Hey Skip,

We have named this stretch of the road on 28 the "Twisted Pickle". Sammy, Derb and I plan to buy one of the homes in the area and set-up shop with all kinds of "Twisted Pickle" stuff like; t-shirts, patches, stickers and post cards.

We expect it to become more famous than the TOD.

One of the t-shirts, for women, will be a camouflage tank-top that says, "I Rode the Twisted Pickle"!

We will be rich. Carrera GT rich. And a pink one for Mrs. Sammy!

Investors are welcome.

On my way home, here is what I saw on the TOD:

1) A Sysco Foodservice semi-truck (I hugged the white line)
2) A snow plow- I thought it did not snow down here, especially in September when it is still in the mid-80's)
3) 5 wild turkeys eating on the shoulder
4) A large (size of a dinner plate) turtle crossing the road (he looked up at me when he heard my PSE!)
