Wanted to check out the Tahoma Dam and the road that takes you there (NC 80). We had some storms last week that caused some landslides and i was curious to the damage. I saw two landslides on NC 80, and two very bad road washouts. NC 80 is one of my favorite roads as it is much less trafficked then the dragon or the Parkway.

I ended up taking NC 80 to the parkway and heading up to the peak of Mt Mitchell. From my home location it ended up being about 200 miles round trip.

This is the parkway heading east right before the twin tunnels.
