Would you consider running Moonshiner 28 out of Deal's Gap and perhaps the Cherohala? I think that 28 is a wonderful road that offers great scenery to go with some great driving. The Cherohala has 55MPH speed limits, too.

I have heard great things about both, I will say that this will be my first experience in the area so if anyone that has done these before can give any suggestions, I'd be more than willing to defer to them.

Personally, my top preference is to hit up the main 11-mile stretch, with the 318 curves and the photographers and such. Would love some nice action shots, and I live in Florida, where curved roads seem to be illegal. However, I'd love to check out either/both routes if others are interested!

I know that both the Moonshiner 28 http://moonshiner28.com/ and the Cherohala http://www.cherohala.com/ are much longer routes than the 11-mile main stretch. However, after hitting up the main spot and back, it looks like we could do either if anyone is interested in an extended drive?

Thoughts from the group?

Driving all 3 would be great. Drove Tail of The Dragon last November A week before the fire. It was great:-) killboy.com s the web page for the photographers and the price for the photos were reasonable.

All - I spoke to the guy at the Dragon Pit Inn and BBQ a couple days ago and got my room for the night Sunday night. Told him there might be a few of us coming down that evening, looks like a great place. Don't forget to book!

This is where I usually stay. Right off the Tail of Dragon. Hotel, Cabins, pool, really good restaurant.

Im probably hitting on the way up and down from Camarofest. Only one hour out of my way.

It's got a bed and it's a BBQ place, what's not to love?

As I said in the above post. I stayed at the Dragon Pit Inn and BBQ after BG in 2015. Very nice place at a reasonable rate.
