Road / Drive comparison
I know everyone drives the Dragon (US 129). But how about a comparison of this to other road in the area. For example:
28 from 19/74 to Franklin
64/28 from Franklin to Highlands.
28 from 19/74 to Franklin
64/28 from Franklin to Highlands.

We end up driving a lot of different roads in the area. I love the foothills parkway for the scenery and pleasant sweepers.
Hwy 28 between Fontana and the road to Robbinsville is great, especially because there are some technical sections with a 55mph speed limit where it is difficult to seriously exceed the speed limit in the turns.

Yeah! I like that section, but found the section of 28 from 19 to Franklin had some great corners and you could run this a some good speeds. Of course, 64/28 from Franklin to Highlands has great turns and beautiful scenery.
I was curious, from others, how those sections compared to the Dragon, as far as technical is concerned.
