Well I have been to those falls and knew they were on the south side, very nice. Have you ever followed that road east to see if it stays pavement all the way? I have always jumped back up on the Cherohala but maps show it going through and coming out in NC. Can't tell by Google Earth view. Saturday is the day but at least it will be early when we hit the new extension going north. Staying at Punkin Center Motorcycle Resort Friday night. Not doing the Dragon or the Cherohala this time but will go by Wolf Pen Gap and Suches on the way back south a couple of days later. Thanks for the pics.
