Last summer when I was down at my place in NC, one day I was over at the Wal-Mart in Murphy, and on the way out, I walked through a group of "sixty-something" Harley riders from Florida, one of them asked if I knew the way to Marysville.
I didn't know the way, but I went to my car and got the map book out , and we figured it out for them. I asked, and yes, they were indeed looking for "the dragon".
I had heard on the radio just an hour earlier, that the police were seriously cracking down on "speeders" on that stretch, since there had been a recent spate of inexperienced rider deaths and injuries. I passed on that heads-up to them. He replied "Hey, we're old f@rts, we don't speed any more" of course with the usual wink and a grin...

There's a stretch of US 64 between Hayesville and Brevard, that goes through "Highlands" and it gets pretty twisty and turny, up and down mountainous, as well, the tractor-trailer truckers are supposed to stay off , and take "truck route 64", except for direct local deliveries, but too many of them "cheat" and take what they think is a shortcut...
