Bill,

I'm thinking you like walking on thin ice as the "(Hint green is for Go!)" is barely readable. Or Fontana Village burned down which really would be out of your control.
As this is April 1 I'm going to post the info I'd found for memebers to check out before leaving for the trip.

Radar Enforcement map: http://www.tailofthedragon.com/maps_radar.html
Remember the other Driver may not be as careful as you:

Taken from the Deals Gap [Motorcycle focused] site FYI

There are three extremely dangerous sections of road on North Carolina Highway 28 between Fontana Village and US 129 at Deals Gap. Please watch your speed in these areas:

1. A little less than a mile after leaving Fontana Village and heading west on Hwy 28 there is a steep downhill right hand corner. The momentum the bike carries into this steep corner can fool a motorcycle rider. They then see and feel the uneven pavement which tends to steer you into the oncoming lane. Some riders panic and grab a handful of brake and go into the bank here. The really unlucky ones meet a car head-on.

2. Northbound on 28 about 6 miles from Fontana is one of the worst corners in the area. Not only is it a sharp decreasing radius turn, but also it has a guardrail to stop your slide if you misjudge the corner. This turn also throws you into oncoming traffic if you go wide.

3. A very tight corner on a concrete abutment bridge at Twenty Mile Creek located 6.1 miles from Fontana Village. You can see this corner coming both ways. There are added dangers here as a Forest Service road and a boat launch/camping area pull-off intersects.



See everyone there??

Well I am leaving tomorrow morning 4:45 am CST to head to NC to the Tail of the Dragon meet.
About to embark on a 1500 mile adventure to NC and back.
This may be the longest time I will be disconnected from this excellent forum since I discovered it last July.
I will be offline and away from my PC until Monday afternoon.
I am very thankful to have found this website last July and it has opened up so many opportunities to meet people who share the passion of Crossfires.
So much info has been made available here and without this forum I would not be going to the Dragon and meeting so many of the members here that will be attending.
My thanks to Silverfox for the ongoing planning and coordinating of this event.
On April 16th I will have had my Crossfire for one year and I have already driven more than 10,000 trouble free miles.
This is a great way to mark the 1 year anniversary with my Crossfire.
Looking forward to the days to come and to return home safely and begin to read all the posts form nearly 70 members here who will also be attending this weekend. All drive safely and looking forward to meeting you all !!!

Gary
