Casper Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 A couple of us are talking about something similar, but a month later. We're looking at 9/29, 9/30, 10/1, and 10/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xplover24x Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 How many do you think youll have going? I will prolly have 4 in my group. We should do the devils taik leg in groups of 4 or 5 so theres no congestion and we could meet at the other end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubbersidedown Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I have vacation days on August 12 and 19. I may be able to swing a long weekend. Do you have any plans for rides, lodging, etc.? Fridays and Mondays are pretty good days to ride the dragon, Saturdays and Sundays get more congested (and LEO's). I recommend rolling out on Thurday night and riding the dragon on Friday then exploring the other awesome roads on Sat. and Sun.Do you know if they ever got 129 repaired from the rockslide? I hope they have fixed it by now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 just found this.... Tail of the DragonCONSTRUCTION: Cherohala Skyway (TN) repaving during Aug. One-lane traffic in work areas with a Follow Me car. New surface is thin layer of tar, not chip & seal, and will be dry - no damage to vehicles. Also.. The back (bumpy) forest service rd from Joyce Kilmer Mem Forest to US 129 closed August 1-8 to finish new two-lane bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
