 I WISH !!!

WE went for a little ride in the '38 to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg TN for a car show on the 5th and returned on the 13th. Friday, Sat spent a short time at the show...90° and humid. Sunday, Monday, drove around the Great Smokey Mountain National Park. Stopped in Paducah on the way back for the wife to attend a quilt show and then beat feet home.

 Love that area! Jenna and I went there on our honeymoon. 

Did you drive the "Tail of the Dragon"?

 I was tempted too, but we happened upon a county road that mimicked it pretty well. 16 miles of non-stop twisting and elevation changes. Not another car on the road. It dead ends at a gravel road that we were on, trying to find this road...I kept hearing the "banjo's"...laughing

We're pretty sure we will go back sometime, maybe with the Harley in tow for the "Tail". We would, also, like to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Though it's been remodeled and unrecognizable, the gas station/biker bar at the NC end of the Tail of the Dragon is where the final scenes of Two Lane Blacktop were filmed.

My wife took me to Maui for our honeymoon and I drove the highway to Hana...I rented a Jeep so we could drive around the entire island from Hana, as some of the roads are dirt tracks and required 4 wheel drive. When we got to seven pools, the road was closed because part of the dirt track further on had washed into the Pacific during a storm that fall. So... I got to drive the road from Hana too...thumbsup

Hana Highway
64.4-Mile-Long Stretch
The Hana Highway is a 64.4-mile-long stretch of Hawaii Routes 36 and 360 which connects Kahului to the town of Hana in east Maui. To the east of Kalepa Bridge, the highway continues to Kipahulu as Hawaii Route 31. Although Hana is only about 52 miles from Kahului, it takes about 2.5 hours to drive even when no stops are made since the highway is very winding and narrow and passes over 59 bridges, of which 46 are only one lane wide. There are approximately 620 curves along Route 360 from just east of Kahului to Hana, almost all of it through lush, tropical rainforest. Many of the concrete and steel bridges date back to 1910 and all but one are still in use. That one bridge, badly damaged by erosion, has been replaced by a portable steel ACROW bridge erected by the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
