A week ago I learned that my son's first varsity football game is this Saturday. Being that I live a good distance from his house now and the game is 2.5 hours just from his house, the mrs and I look at each other and try to figure out a fun plan to end up at his game. So we woke up this morning and after discussion realized that the "back of the dragon" is only 2 hours east of us! The plan come hell or high water (more than likely will be the high water part) we are headed on a mini adventure. First stop will be tazwell Virginia to the mouth of the back of the dragon. Leaving from there we will somehow make our way on all back roads to "tail of the dragon", then across the cherohala skyway, to end in tellico Plains for the night. Gonna be one hell of a long day but hey when you drive a slingshot all will be good, right?? Tomorrow we will get up and go to my son's game near Chattanooga TN and then visit the aquarium there. Lastly we will stay in knoxville eat at chuys for the macho burrito and a tres leches cake, where we will hit up Devils triangle on the way home and be home Sunday night. WISH US LUCK please will post random pics along the way........stay tuned
Rain or shine here we go!

@j4henry do you remember when that guys little hand grew back?
it's almost like it was yesterday!! @kenny_h So in 11 hours we traveled 450 miles through 3 states and have ended in Gatlinburg for the night. Between rain, potty breaks, and a possible citation it has been a long day. Back of the dragon was ok not quite like the advertise, but still good ride. And you had better still wear your helmet in Virginia, North Carolina, and tennessee.... was informed that a no helmet ticket in Tennessee is 175$ at dawn we ride!! we will hit up the dragon, cherohala then to football game. I'll post up more pics in a few it's feeding time.....
