Dragon photos

Went online to see if any shots were better then what I had.
Of the 4 different photographer's photos I could find, they are all washed out, poor comp, framing. Seems like all the shutterbugs working up there need to go back to basics

Jock has spoiled you for all other photographers.

Simon,

Actually Duane is an accomplished photographer that keeps his skills under the radar!  Wish he would post more of them!

Always wanted to make a stop here. This time it was noon, 160 miles on the tank and happened to be in the right place.

Of course there is a Pink Caddy on site.

And just to be sure, they are not relating the Springsteen's song - the entire place is covered with Elvis stuff.

One of my camping buddies was in NC, punched in GA into his GPS and guess where it routed him 

Ah yup 129 - had no idea what he got himself into until later at the campfire when he expounded on the horrible rode he took.

Don't think he will ever make that mistake again.

Can't remember how may times I have wanted to stop at Soco Falls but never did. Tough with a group, they are located on a blind curve on 19 in between Cherokee and Maggie Valley, downhill side going west.

Not kidding about the sign. Locals have added ropes to assist in the climb down and back up.

Sturdy boots recommended, would probably roll right out of sneakers

Worth the trek though.

All the years I have been riding this area (first time in the late 70's) I have never seen the dam flowing water.
Cheoah Dam aka "Fugitive Dam"

Yeah, same day according to Steve. Nice place, food OK, better then a fast food stop.

Another first. For years I have wanted to take the Great Smoky Mountain Railway ride in Bryson. Never with anyone riding that was interested.
Bryson City, we pass it all the time going west from Maggie Valley
