to the Dragon on the NW end. 28, it self, looks to be nearly as twisty
as is US129. In fact, this seems to make a rather nice loop that could be
traveled rally style for time. That is, if I'm looking at the right section of
US129. Coyote
Yup, that is correct. That is a Very Big loop using 28 to 74 back to 68 in Tn & up to a number of options. Yes that is a Great Loop, I've been on all of it & sections of it, Many times over the last 15 years. It would be 150 miles+ or more depending on your way around on the North portion, by the Actual Tail of the Dragon.
74/64 goes right thru Murphy, & along Whitewater Rafting, etc, Beautiful drives, All of them.

BTW: This is one of the many Beautiful Waterfalls in the Area, on the Cherohala Parkway, nearby. (one of my pics).
