Yes, we did the Diamondback up near Little Switzerland, it was over pumped and not as good as the Dragon by a long shot -- the only fun part of it was the one little section that was falling off the mountainside in three steps/stages with a six inch fall off between sections (on an outside turn to boot).
Eeeeeek !! Where did the road go ??? I'm flying all heeled over in a turn here you idiots !!!
And here comes two more just like it !!!
Eeeeek !! Eeeeek !!Other than that, it was forgettable. Except for this Hurley Sportster dude shelling out his primary crankshaft teeth trying to bust out on a couple of Savages that is.
Saturday, we go up to the knife store so we can see you part of the way on your way back home. We will go a way that has 28 miles of near dragon like freshly paved road .....
So, Mount Mitchell won't be hard at all, we are a lot nearer to it for one thing and we know to take an NC road map with us and NOT to trust the tourist maps at all.
Heck, we could get tricky and just go straight north on the Blue Ridge Skyway getting on it just uphill from the camp ground.Getting lost is our art form though, we find our very best roads that way.
The only challenge on the trip is trying to find Lancer's road up over the top of that 7 switchback mountain .....
