I was talking with a friend about places to visit on my trip to and from CCR and he suggested the following websites to investigate if we were going to be in Western North Carolina, East Tennessee, and North Georgia. Thought they might be of interest to the group. I think they named it after Dave Dragon but I am sure he will enjoy cruising the area some of these rural routes. Wheels Through Time has a motorcycle museum that could prove a nice stop on the way to somewhere. Don’t know anything about deals gap except it is a station and store that caters to bikers.

Glance at the river and you might find yourself in it.
