For folks that haven't been to the Dragon before, keep an eye out for this guy. Don't get behind him, he's _very_ slow.
Quit talking about me!

I try my best to at least go the speed limit!!

Come on, we know you're being modest.

Well... Ron... you're right again....

He is one of the slowest drivers on the Dragon...

I need to take him for another ride sometime...

The last time he was in a car with me was on the road heading up from Fontana Dam to Deals Gap......

He had me laughing sooooo hard I could barely see what I was doing....

See... everyone has the wrong idea what happened there....

I had called ahead and asked Ranger Rick to provide our group (the law obiding Ohio group) an escort thru the Foothills to prevent any dear/bear/etc from jumping out in front of us....

Now... doesn't that clear up what really happened that day?

Um, you were expecting _dears_ to jump out at you? You have enthusiastic relatives that live along the route? Or do you have an unhealthy attraction to our four-footed friends??
