i hear there's a waffle house nearby...

The Awful House of which you speak is one in the same as the establishment we visited at 7 am Saturday the first year... where I ate a small bowl of oatmeal and later that morning ... after two trips up and down the TOD ... regurgitated.

Who would have thought that driving one's own car up and down a hill could make one nauseous!

There's a couple of other crappy restaurants in Robbinsville we might try instead. That place in particular gives me the creeps.

Plus the service sucks.

Food is terrible around the Dragon. Last year, Patrick, Mike and I found two good places. One was in Fontana Village, and the other was that restaurant/liquore store near the Dragon's south enterence. Both good burger & beer type places.

There is that BBQ place we ate at one night... the food was, as they say around there, "smack yo mamma good!"

It's 129 in North Carolina, just north of Robbinsville.

And yes, it's really THAT good. I would drive 2 hard days each way from Houston just to run it for a day or two.

318 hairpin turns with 12 degree elevation changes between switchbacks, all inside 11 miles of road:

All I can say is driving it is just about as much fun as a boy can have with his clothes on. :dance:

SStiebers: this is the date, the more the merrier. it's also the date for another group's outing, so this group won't be the only boxster / porsche related group on the dragon that weekend.
