this is a gnarly little road that i accidentally took one time from fontana down to tapoco. its basically like a lane and a half, if you meet an oncoming car you are fubarred. its all downhill from fontana to tapoco and if you're lower than stock height you're gonna have to be real careful http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=We...via=1&t=h&z=14

This is a fun, short loop run!
Tapoco to Fontana / Meadowbranch Run
We did it a couple years back. The route was awesome but the road had a lot of small loose gravel on it. We're going up in a couple weeks, and I'll check it out to see how the road looks now.
You can also parallel Hwy 129 to Robbinsville via Old Field Gap & Yellow Branch Rd; will check those out as well!

If you drive it, let us know how it is now.
The gf is going to let me borrow her ancient laptop. I'll post up.

Ron and I are going up this weekend, so we'll drive both of them and report back. If we have time, we'll also do the "Happy Valley / Hilltops & Hollers" route as well, JUST to make sure it's all open and that there are no U-turns involved at DBRXI. 
We plan for that to be a group drive on Saturday.
