DEAL'S GAP

Did you know that North Carolina/Tennessee is located conveniently between Florida and Ohio?
That means its on the way to Grandma Higgins house!
The week before Memorial Day was the best week for Grandma & Grandpa to miss work, with schools slowing down, so that is when we drove up to visit Grandma & Grandpa Higgins. When you take 75 instead of 77, that puts you very close to The Tail of the Dragon. The best road in the world!
That required buying a a new light weight, all aluminum motorcycle trailer, light enough to be pulled behind the mini van, so we could have a pair of motorcycles to go buzzing around the mountain roads!

 Grandma rented us a lovely cabin near the Cheerohala Skyway, overlooking a stream.
 That was Grandma's first time on The Tail of the Dragon.
 Joey and Sam and I waited at Deal's Gap for them to do their run. 
Then we got rained out, so my turn is tomorrow!
Monday morning and it's my turn for the Dragon! (Grandma watched the kids at the cabin.)
 The roads leading to the Dragon are even prettier.
