This is how you greet your wife in the hotel after raining so hard you don't even take off your helmet to walk inside Lol

My plan was to go to Deals Gap....not really ride the Dragon....but once there I remembered they take your picture so how could I resist!

It was actually more fun than I remembered....the high bank curves make that 11 miles and 318 curves pretty unique. 10:30 on a Thursday, traffic very light....if the photographers time stamps are any indication, the 8-9 am was the busiest....maybe everyone trying to beat the crowd created a crowd?
I did go looking for Wayah rode Stichell mentioned.....is was a great rode, around Nantahala Lake....raining the whole way made it interesting ;-)
I made a wrong turn and had to backtrack through Junaluska Road...which itself wasn't a bad road. Funny 2 GPS units and I still get lost :-(
Hwy 28 is a great road.....

it goes up and over the continental divide and the Bridal Veil Falls, Highlands NC was pretty neat.

I came back up 109....decent but rough surface....rained most of the way.
My plans were to go back down 215 and up 276....but ran out of time....maybe next time.
