Whats up Dawgs! Finally slayed the Dragon yesterday. WOW! doesn't even begin to describe it. seriously it was the most exciting thing i have ever done on wheels! it's clearly the most thrilling amusement park ride in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and best of all it's FREE ! just bring your own wheels and stay ON them ! i saw a couple of wipe outs on the way up. one guy leaned a little to far and slid off the side of the road, not hurt to bad. but another guy went off the edge, down a ravine and it didn't look to good 
i made a few mistakes myself but nothing i couldn't overcome. i suppose we were feeling confident on the return trip. i was pushing the Roketa, and myself, to the edge. got passed by a couple of crouch rockets in an s-curve 
but finally hit a rhythm and rode thru the most radical set of s-curves i have ever seen in my life ! i was ready to turn around and do those again ! not sure of the name of those curves but i will find out 
i was going thru those turns grinning so big i thought my cheeks were going bust out of my helmet!
anyway, i recommend ANYONE that is in this part of the country take US129 to Deals Gap on whatever transportation you have. i guarantee you will never forget it!
here is a link to a album i made in photobucket. i hope everyone can see them if not i'll figure something else out.
