Default Found the dragon on accident.

I live in Braselton GA. I was taking a quick vacation in Gatlinsburg with my girlfriend from sunday til today. While making an attempt to take 441 home as its the fastest way and the way we came up, we found out it was closed to day due to "snow and ice". So we had to find another way home so we drove around bought a map and were on our way south through townsend and down the parkway. Finally got to 129 south and still didn't think anything about it. Made the 300+curves in 11 miles and my girl was starting to get sick. When we popped out at the bottom in deals gap I seen some of the stores selling memoribilia and I said out loud " son of a bitch there it was"

I had never been on it or near it and have always wanted to come to the event. I hope to attend and drive it with my s2000 as opposed to the jetta this year..

Sorry for the long story but I was fairly excited.
