I totally ran to grab my keys after I saw your caravan drive by my room Wed. You guys must have went right outta FVR up 28 cause I went left and didnt catch up. Then on our way back passed y'all on Hellbender heading out to the Dragon. Really wanted to run w you guys.

Also got pulled over for no front plate today. Its the 4th or 5th time Ive straight up told the officer "Im not drilling into my bumper Id rather have a ticket" and got let go

If there's one thing AL does right, it is no front plate law

We hung by the lodge for what seemed like an eternity, cuz no one wanted to lead. lol

But as soon as we left, it was hittin hard and heavy all the way from Fontana to Mile Marker 11 on the Dragon.

I was talking about Wednesday's Dragon Run, not Thursday's Cherohala Run. Or do I have my days all mixed up?

I do have ish mixed up. You came down Wednesday evening, right?

IDK bout that cause I went left outta FVR down Hellbender and down the Dragon. Passed you guys on Hellbender when I was heading back to FVR. You guys were Dragon bound. BUT maybe that was Thurs. IDK, I lost track of what happened when

It is possible that you guys ran the Skyway then passed us when we were heading back because we got behind a semi on the Dragon. Then stopped down by the bridge right after the Dragon for awhile to take pics.

BTW, I can totally do without the Skyway.

Thursday was Cherohola Skyway/Cross County run
Friday was Great Smoky Mountains State Park / Klingons Dome run.

Made me a little less angry about the traffic, I guess.

I probably would have behaved differently had I realized they were giving out wimpy tickets.

Five of my local homies in the Cleveland Z Club got pulled over on Saturday for doing 60 in a 55

. The LEO ran every one's licenses and plates. They were stopped for 45 minutes and were given a "warning certificate" and let go. I think the LEO was trying to make an example of them. I say

.

Man, sorry to hear about your ticket. Saturday morning was actually my hottest run on the Dragon. Nobody in front of me the entire way

Think I hit 80 a few times in the straights, then HARD on the brakes

Talked to a work contact today who's from NC. He told me that back in 2006, a huge section of 129 was blocked off due to a tremendous mudslide. He was heading home to Raleigh, and the detour would have taken him hours out of his way. He asked nicely, and the construction workers let him through. He had those roads completely to himself, including the Dragon. I'm jelly.

We've definitely lucked out the past 2 years when it comes to weather and no mudslides closing off sections of the Dragon

In 2010 they clear part of a rock slide before ZdayZ. We had to turn around right after the Dragon ended.

We waited for the TN trooper to come around and open the gate at 7AM, we knew nobody was coming plus no cops, that was fun.
