1700 miles from Illinois to the Corvette Museum and Tail of the Dragon.

Great trip.

Planning another trip for next summer from Illinois out west to Mt Rushmore, Devils tower and south to Phoenix then back to Illinois. Can't wait!

(several trips in my 'C4's too. Illinois to Colorado - Rocky Mountain National Park. about
1000 miles one way.)

That does look like a good road. We will have to try it too.

Their site says:
* 17 MILES
* 314 CURVES
* 14 SWITCHBACKS
* 3 PIGTAILS
* 3 TUNNELS
* 4 PRESIDENTS
* 2 SPLITS

Sounds like fun
