Wow, I must say, 25 hours in the car to get to Geargia is worth it if you go via Tail of the Dragon. I had an incredible ride!

Wow, cool pictures. We have some nice driving out here in Colorado but I have always wanted to go to the Tail of the Dragon. SO COOL!

If you ever get a chance to take your car to California, start in Carmel on Highway 1 and head South to San Louis Obispo. It is an awesome drive and really do want to start in the North since, as the Brit’s would say, we drive on the wrong side of the road.

Any pointers for driving the Dragon?

Very cool. Thanks for the pics.

I'm currently planning a trip from Houston across the south up to the tail of the dragon then back home for sometime in October.

Have taken the road from Maine to Georgia many times, but never in the MINI. It's a LONG way......

This looks like so much fun I want to get on the road right now. Where are you going next? Can we come?
