Starting at Sweetwater TN, which was a lovely KOA site, all the right things for the boys to do, jump pad, swim pool, rec room, games room, plenty of shade – yay we think this will be a success. Must come back again.
So looking at the map we imagined a straight line to Asheville, this took us along route 129. We didn’t think any different. So off we set. We passed Foothill imports – a yard full of air cooled volkswagens which was tempting to stop at but with a late start we were short on time and short on patience.
Route 129, started as a gentle overlook on a lake whereupon a few motorcylces turned up, then a few minutes later a few more, eventually we were surrounded by fast bikes, leather clad fast riders and testosterone – lots of it.
The next 10 miles on 129 was frantic, second gear, hard left, hard right, sweep left hairpin right, its only now that we realised we were on what is nationally known as the Dragons tail. Katie managed to take some pictures and a movie from the back seat but after a while she felt sea sick
Dragon over with, there was the long haul home, we didn’t stop again
