Will be in the area in a couple of weeks and thinking of doing part of it on my way up or back from Cherokee, NC.

Look it up on web...seems to be another Tail of Dragon type roadway in N Georgia....

Ran some of these roads recently. Hard to find an actual map though...

I live not too far from Blairsville. Travel these roads a lot. I guess these people have created a map of some of the more twisty and scenic roads in the area. These are all public roads and easy to find.
I guess if you want to signup for their "Official" run, go for it!!
If you are coming up from FL go towards Blairsville from Atlanta and take some of the backroads to Cherokee and I guarantee you will have fun!!!

From Cherokee take hwy 19 to hwy 28 to 219 and then 219 north thru the "Tail of the Dragon". Also stop at Fontana Dam on 28, it is a good place for pictures.

I agree. Franklin to Highlands is scenic. We go to Cherokee just about once a month sometimes more. Nothing better than the back roads. The Tail is fun but can be congested. So many good roads.

jakers

Yes I have. Worth the trip.

Any way to get a map of it without driving to the Biker Barn?

I live in Blairsville and that's the first I've heard of it. I looked at the map and 180 and 60 are nice roads.

Thanks for this. Nice loop. Will have to give it a try soon.

fyi, there's a link to a pdf map on the lower right hand side of the linked page.

This is the first I have heard of this. I am interested now though.

tambeng

I am interested to join if there is a cruise on it.

chriscable34

Count me and my dad in. How is your HUD doing? You enjoying it?

tambeng

Hey Chris, it is nice to hear from you again.

So far so good with the HUD, it is definetely one of the best mods to a vette.

Let me know as well if you happen to have a different group that wants to do a cruise!

Yesterday was too pretty to waste so I talked my wife into a ride up to Alexanders in Blairsville.
Hardly any traffic on 129 an "0" cars on Richard Russell Scenic, but did have a group of bikes blow by me in a curve.
I may take the Northern half of it today!!!
Great weather!!!!! could see for miles an miles....

mfrnka

I agree! I ran the Gauntlet loop yesterday. Nice combination of open country roads and some twisties on 60 and 348. A couple of very nice lookout areas to stop and take pictures. I'm fighting the urge to do it again today.

I never heard it called that, but have driven it in my GS. The only time I've ever seen over 1G on the HUD.
