Default Some Shots From The Dragon

These pics were taken by killboy.com when we rode The Dragon back in October. GREAT trip!







This one was taken on HWY 180 in North Georgia. I've posted it before, but it was too pretty not to share again

Very nice pics. There sure are some awesome driving roads down there.

I'm sorry, but someone has to say it, and I guess it'll be me... Seriously, windows up with the top down?!

Alright, gentlemen! It was COLD that day! They had snow at the top of the Cherohala Skyway (which, BTW, is another beautiful drive) the night before! That's why the windows were up.

I let Joe do the driving, I videotaped some of it, got a little queasy from not keeping my eyes on the road. LOL We had a blast!
