N Carolina 28 N/US-19 S/US-74 W/Great Smoky Mountains Expy to Harrison Ave - Google Maps
A run up to Dillsboro after this is nice as well. Nice little town with touristy types of things.

Here's a link to a website for more info: Moonshiner 28
Roberta & I are travelling this route next Friday running north from Upstate SC all the way to Fontana Village Resort. Maybe will come across XFires having some fun running south on Friday for 'exercise'.

Re: 4th Annual Fall 2010 - Tail of the Dragon GTG - Oct. 1, 2, 3
Danimal and a few others will be running this alternate route on Saturday
Anyone interested can join him for this run on Saturday instead of the Cherohala Loop Run with me.
Driving distance is nearly the same but for those of you have attended before and are looking for something different here ya go....
click on the link below for route map......
Driving Directions from 398 Woods Rd Fontana Dam, North Carolina to 398 Woods Rd Fontana Dam, North Carolina
Also, here is the link to Fat Buddies for lunch in Franklin, TN.
PS....Now don't eat to much lunch.
We have a BBQ back at the lodge for dinner.

Those that would like to make multiple runs on the Dragon are free to do so, and I think most of you are aware of where you are and can return to the lodge at whatever time you choose.
