lol... I like that idea... and thanks for the explanation earlier... makes a lot of since that it isn't on a major interstate or something like that, therefore they probably aren't as rushed as they would be if so, but still, it seems to me that a lot of people travel that road. As far as all of us are concerned, it sounds like there are plenty of other roads around there that are just as fun...
But damn, I'm not jealous at all of the people that used to travel that road every day for business or just to get from A to B... that must really put a damper on things.

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

Please don't let this discourage you all from attending. Deals gap is just one road and many of us don't even consider it our favorite due to traffic and slow motorcycles. There are tons of other better roads and plenty of other great activities.

+1. I'm sure there are many other great roads in the area, and I bet you the Dragon photographers will relocate to said roads.

I generally avoid the TN side of the route anyway due to the fact that the Police are much heavier heading in that direction. I will admit that there is some good scenery that way, but there is always next year for that. We will just have to wait and see what takes place. Hopefully they will be able to get the cleanup underway quickly. Lets all hope for pretty days ahead without Rain, etc so the TDOT can knock this out. - Dustin |

Yeah, it looks like the Dragon is going to be closed till late July because of a Rock Slide.
However it is known that a lot of places for example Carlisle where Car Enthusiast gather every year the locals don't want those events there for X reason. So the cleaning of the Dragon is not going to be in thier top list of priorities to of that locality. Most likely the Event Coordinators will find other roads!

Latest Mid Atlantic CruiZe to ZdayZ Count....?
Anyone got a handle on the latest greatest count of folks from the Mid Atlantic area who are planning to participate in the 20 May CruiZe to ZDayZ? Last list I saw was late Feb and had about 21 but not sure all of those were necessarily planning on doing the drive down with the group on the 20th?
Just me thinkin out loud cause I got nothin better to do while away from home on business... BREAK BREAK -- (Probably a different thread) Anyone planning for coffee and maybe a mini Cruize this Sat (3 Apr)? Internet weather guessers say sunny and low 80's......"SWEET"......

No poker run? No time/ distance rally? Kinda not much going on this year. And a couples wine and cheese thing? WTF? Still glad I'm going but seems like nobody really put much effort into planning this year.
Parties and dinner I guess... ;-)
