Default Repaving the Dragon

Just saw on the Tail of the Dragon that they are repaving the NC side of the Dragon from the Fugitive Bridge to the state line. Finally!

Even if they're paving, it won't affect us a great deal. It'd be an inconvenience to get to the gas station (and onto 28 to get to the lodges), probably one lane for that 1/2 mile or so.

Man, that run from the Dragon's Den to Fugitive Bridge is going to be awesome with new blacktop. It was a nightmare!
