Deal's Gap Trip

[The G-Man]

First, why off topic? More views, lol.

Second, wtf is Deal's Gap? www.dealsgap.com
Basically the Mecca of curvy roads. 318 curves in 11 miles. That is US 129 leaving NC into TN. Pretty much all roads approaching the gap are equally fun, as I quickly found out driving to our cabin.

It is far away from everything, no cell service where our cabin was, nearest 'town' is Robbinsville, NC which is like 40 minutes away. A town in which everything but 1 gas station is closed by 10 pm.

Intense driving, brake early and go full throttle in the turns. Watch out for bikes and cops. Don't cross the center line at any time.

I left my house 11 am Friday, and got there 5 pm via Clemson, SC. Then left the gap at like 2 pm Sunday and got home at like 9:30 pm, again via Clemson.


Now for the good shit.

Seriously? Spotted in SC


Broke my fucking lip on a curb trying to do a U-turn in Franklin, NC


At the cabin Sat morning

Probably will. This place is in the fucking sticks. Mountains, usually like 10-20 degrees colder than it is around here, which is only like 200 nm away.

Friggin' awesome. I've got another destination to add to my list of places to drive the coupe! I bet the scenery is beautiful, if you're not driving.
Checked out some satellite imagery of the area and there's some odd markings out there. Long flattened strips, almost like roads or air strips, but they don't look like it when you look closer. I always wonder about odd crap like that.

Well, a lot of groups plan big trips there. More notably, Mini and S2k owners. This might also be because they have the cash to buy a new car, so they can afford to go places.

But really, the cabin we got was under $200/night and slept 6. But if people are willing to take the floor, 10+ would be easy, parking not so much.

Totally worth the drive.
