GA Mountains
Hi, DLJ.
If you come through Georgia you might want to swing East and head a couple of hours north of Atlanta on I-85, I-985, and into Helen, GA. The area around there and Dahlonega, Ga is great. Try Wolf Pen Gap, GA 75 up to Hiawasse and up to Franklin, NC to Highlands, NC and Cashiers, NC, along the Culluja (sp) gorge.
I get up to the GA mountains at least once every few months. Good for keeping the survival / curve skills current. It's beautiful up there also.
If you choose to just go straight up 75, stop at Chickamuga battlefield. No curves, but very humbling to say the least.
Good luck on your trip. Best wishes for a safe drive there and back!
BTW: Be very careful on the Dragon. 129 is dangerous in and of itself, but the TN State troopers have taken to harrassing MCs as of late. Watch the speed and make sure you are fully street legal--lights, insurance, etc.
See Tailofthedragon.com for more details. Also, keep an eye out for the sport cars and tractor trailers. (They have an affinity for crossing the double-yellows.)
