Casper Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 It's bad. The Tennessee governor has closed the dragon completely. He's refusing North Carolina's offer to help with police and ems. Deals Gap is talking about having to close the resort. This sucks. Email the Tennessee governor. Make your voice count to the Governor of Tennessee on the closure of the Dragon. Governor's Office Tennessee State Capitol Nashville, TN 37243-0001 Phone: 615.741.2001 Fax: 615.532.9711 E mail: Phil.Bredesen@tn.gov it is closed from the rock slide to the NC state line. http://www.easttnriders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34770 http://www.easttnriders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34771 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Email sent. Considering I went and stayed TN just because of deals gap I feel this is a very6 bad choice on his part. LONG LIVE 129 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodRed Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 That sucks to here. I know that is a big draw of a whole lot of people to that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyster101 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 related? Those videos are just outside the Dragon. I heard there were some rock slides. With all the snow we have gotten, I would figure they have had a lot of rain or snow also. Plus spring is rock slide season too. Hope it doesn't close. 555 is a great road also, just wish there was more elevation change with some scenic over looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very hilly sections and there are a couple decent overlooks. One just off and one on the route. Can't remember where exactly. I've only been 3 or 4 times. Norm and I are gonna try to make it out there within the next week again, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
