TNDOT has posted a 9/1 opening date for the road
the rock slide was massive. those of you who've been there might remember the huge gravel lot across from a large rock face by the lake just across the TN line. this is where the slide happened. in the video, that's where the camera crew was, standing in that parking lot. what sucks is all the people that made their living off the dragon (killboy, hwy 129 photo, the dragon inn, etc). we'll just have to wait and see if they open up at least a portion of the road for tourists while repairs finish on the flat part of the road
