Time to go ride The
Tail - we all met downstairs for Breakfast due to the rain instead of
across the street at the Pancake House.
|
|
|
Bill had an easel
setup letting folks know when & where the Driver's meeting was going to be
held.
There were a handful
of Vettes that showed up at Pigeon Forge to join us for the ride thru the
Tail |

The Rain put a little
damper on the day but, we were going to ride the tail even with the
rain!!! |

 |
A rest stop outside of
Maryville, TN, just before getting to the Hwy 129 - we kind of took over the
convenience store - The manager even got out her camera and took pictures. |

 |
As you round the end
of Calderwood Lake, on Hwy 129, you get to the last turn-around before
entering the tail - the sign tells all!!! |
| |
|
|
|
|
...and FINALLY, welcome to the "Tail of the Dragon" |
 |
|
 |
Glenda took the
pictures as we rode the tail - she said it wasn't very easy so there
weren't many pictures taken during the 11 mile ride for sovieners.
This is also the Hwy
intersection that you headed East on Hwy 28, to travel on to Ashville, NC. |

We picked up a
windshield sticker for our Vette |
 |
 |
as well as a hat pin |
| |
|
|
|
 |
About 2 miles before
getting to the end of the Dragon's Tail, we stopped at Deal's Gap. |
