To start the 3hr roadtrip out, a reflection shot off the hubcap of a semi

Going through Tenesse, we notice a semi who is losing his brakes!

As we get to the beginning of Deals Gap, we decided to pull over and check everything over to make sure all is good, quick snapshot

The shop sells Anti monkey butt powder, you know, cause those motorcycle riders hate monkey butt!

You cant go to the Gap without taking a quick glance at the tree of shame!

After a quick restroom break we decided to go on up the road and take some side roads. First stop

One of many beautiful lakes

Further on up the road is a huge dam, very impressive piece of architecture

[Joe (G8)]

What's the wheel of shame?

[Gladiator]

hey seth, where is this deals gap

could you give me a brief map out of what roads you traveled, I'm thinking of a road trip and some of these pics that you stopped by look real nice

[Sillyasianz]

I like the shots!

[Blue Ice]

So Seth why didn't you take your G up too?

John the car looks "dam" good. I know where i'll be road tripping too in '08!

[seth98esT]

What's the wheel of shame?
Should be "Tree of shame". If a bike wrecks, they take a piece of their ferrings and put it up on the tree. Reminds everyone to drive safe.

My car wasnt up for the trip. Needs more suspension and brakes.

Heres info on the road:

Heres a map of the main road

Emotions expressed while viewing the beautiful pics:
:shock: :twisted: :smt005 :smt004 :smt007 :smt023 :smt118 :smt119 :smt041

You guys seemed to have had a good time. I would like to one day take a drive on the Dragon...hopefully next year. The scenery and roads looks awsome...I love the nature surroundings. Your 7g John makes me soo envious...I seriously get nostalgic when I see mine in the garage.
