I should've posted this sooner but I'm curious if anyone is interested in coming out this year?

I'm planning on going Oct 5th (Sunday) through Oct 9th (Thursday). I'll be staying at Dragon City in Maryville TN (intersection of 129 & 72). Questions...ask away

Would love to make it out but it’s a 3-5 day drive. 2600 miles. I would say have a blast but you always seem too.

Yeah that's hard core to make that drive, 3 days would put you into "Road Warrior" status️

Ohhhh.......

That would be a great trip. Unfortunately those dates won't work for me. I'll be out of state the following week and can't take that much vacation. Have a great time!

No worries but I'm hoping you make it out with me/us one year

For those that haven't been, this is definitely a road you have to hit if you love the curvy stuff. Not only is the TOD awesome, the roads surrounding it are amazing, like the BRP and the Cherohala Skyway. Rubber eating roads surrounded by one of God's masterpieces.

I drove my 5,800lb GMC Sierra AT4 on the "Back of the Dragon" - Virginia State Route 19 and it was an absolute blast. Have a great time.

I've heard of that road but have never been on it. That said, we did drive to "The Snake", border of VA/Tenn, road right next to Bristol Speedway and wasn't impressed one bit

My Dad and I have been doing the Trans America Trail in my truck. We've started in Nags Head, NC - followed the trail thru NC, VA, WV, back into VA to where we have currently left off in North Carolina near Morganton, NC. The Back of the Dragon was was part of the trail for a couple of miles and we decided to follow it the rest of the way. They call the overlook on the Back of the Dragon the "Million Dollar View" and it is pretty close to the truth - picture below.
