Wanna go for a drive???

These are the kinds of roads that are up here and this one is very very similar to the one I was driving when I rolled - note the LACK of the curb.

I've been on that road, Cat!  There are roads all over that part of NC just like that.  You have to be sure not to drop a tire off onto the shoulder, cause there might not be one!  My Inlaws live right off of a road similar to that, and they hear crashes fairly regularly, usually at night when someone has had to much to drink.

Cat,
       About a quarter mile before the stop sign is where we go hiking up to rattlesnake lodge!  Been down that road a thousand times, if you turn to the left there at the stop sign, you are just about 2 miles from the first tunnel at Craggy Gardens, you can park there on this side of the Tunnel and on the left side of the road is a trail that is 1/2 mile straight up to rattlesnake lodge.

Watching that clip, made me wish I still had my Gold Wing!  Or at least my MG Midget!

Chuck exactly, something SMALLER than a KIA Sedona (aka the tank) and something that GRIPS the road.

John when I get up the courage to go exploring I'll definitely go there.  The wreckers is just down Heron Cove Rd. and I kept thinking it would be a kewl place to explore - course, I think I was still in shock.  When I mentioned it to Clark at first he said NO, (with some choice words) then the said "we'll have to go, with a big f-ing stick" (he had a very very close call face to face with a rattlesnake in CA so he screams like a school girl everytime he sees a snake LOL)

Jerry, all the roads around here are like that's for damn sure - now as for the drinkin' you didn't tell me there was still shine in these hills LOL.

For all that's happened (and I could write a trilogy now just from Aug. to now) it's still a beautiful place - but even growing up in the river clay flat part of the east I have never seen PURPLE leaves before, it's gorgeous!!!

Cat who still needs another car...preferably one with a place for purses already arranged Wink
