    Already did.... we need to get to Bryson City NC and then drive to it from there.

    It's far.... but worth it. And from there we could head about 30-45 minutes over to the Dragon and stop at Fontana Dam for some pics. Yes, it's a few hours away but I've done in a day before and it was totally worth it. There is a damn good reason why the Dragon is one of the most famous roads in the county.

    Just think at 160 mph that would only take an hour to get there .

    Mall of Georgia to Bryson City is about 120 miles....all for a 6 mile long road and 1,200 foot tunnel The place looks pretty hot though and would hit the dragon on the way back down...hrmm.

    no other ideas for places we could hit up besides this cross country trip?

    i personally remember some decent roads up 575 that also cuts across over to cumming and then 400 but just don't know them in detail =/ but hey, if anyone is up for going "exploring" with a road map, that'd be cool too?

    Not really, I'd say hit up one of the big waterfalls or national parks but I did my scenic tour nature thing last weekend...no, weekend before last....and i'm ready to drive. Could always just go to Helen and play on 75, 180, and Richard B. Russel until later in the afternoon then venture down to the loop where the race was.

    not a bad idea...i'd be up for that, and maybe meet up just a little later (say 11am?) since we might be out later than originally planned?

    How long do these races last?

    That route looks long to me... but I don't know those roads very well so I could be wrong.
