Took a drive to the Dragon today. The preferred access from Maryville (the Parkway) is still closed.
Still have to go the old way or take the detour through the "Top of the World" community to get there.
Way to many bikers there today - I suspect many thought that "everybody" would stay home and watch the Vols/Gators game today. Also saw four cops, two ambulances, and two rescue squad trucks on the backroads.

 

Thanks Ravenwerk. . .for your scouting work.

I made plans to drive the US129 way around to the Dragon. Not a bad road either. Not the Foothills Parkway, but at least we still have the Dragon!

Thanks again!
