i was looking to see where that big water pipeline goes to...the one that you drive under when you are on 129 south of the Dragon, and you can see it does down the hill to the power plant on 28 between Deals Gap and Fontana Village. It turns out the pipeline goes to Lake Santeetlah! They take the water across a couple of mountains and valleys to get the water some elevation so they can make power!
But what caught my eye was a marker on the Google Map that stated: "Start of the Chasing the Dragon Hllclimb". What.....that sounds like my kind of place!

We have found some other roads that are a lot of fun to ride. The Rattler and Devils Drop are great roads!
