The hairpins were just as cool going downhill at Grandfather mountain... and no guard rails

We found gas as low as $1.98 gal for regular but I had to try some of this no ethanol gas in the ST and it was $3.19 a gal. Really didn't notice any difference in power or mileage from the swill I usually use

some of the curves were pretty cool and ran right past peoples houses on RT 80 ..this one on the Murder Mountain Run north of the BRP

Standing on Grandfather Mountain with no place to go but down. Notice the little ribbon of road to my right (left hand side of the pic) and the line cut thru the trees... THAT is the Blue Ridge Parkway as seen from Grandfather Mtn.
