Parson Branch Road.   This is what the Dragon looked like back in the late 50`s. Its usually graded flat with a few washboard hills. If you hit it after a heavy rain it can be pretty torturous . The creeks wash out the road.

Do they grade it regularly?  Heard that sometimes it was pretty much passable.  When we rode it there were quite a few wash outs & understandable why the hills are washboarded.  If it was any steeper (grade) it would have been a REALLY rotten day.

Must be subjective.  Sure needed some grading when we were there.  Very scenic road - used to enjoy those a lot during the dirt bike days - long ago.
