Heck, I live about an hour from there. Best damn road around in my opinion. Let me know when you are going andI will hook up with you guys. Fall would be better for weather and such, but you ain't gonna get much time to look at the pretty leaves, cause the road demands your undevided attention. Also you gotta keep an eye out for motorcycles cause they is always a buzzin around that road like flies on stink. People from all over the world come to the hills to drive that route. And I get it for free.
