Come to northern California, HWY 101--you'll get all this AND rv's to dodge, redwood trees to challenge you, and tourists losing their ways--great shot!!

The 318 curves in 11 miles is no exaggeration.....it's REAL. Every day there are hundreds of bikes on it along with cars, trucks, RVs and the occasional tractor-trailer rig (they ignore warning signs telling them to find an alternate route). On the Dragon if you go off the road, you go DOWN the mountain.

That sounds the same thing as Highway 1 - and 101. Sheer cliffs, narrow curves, only ours is the length of the state, nearly. :o) Looks like a nice drive, though - but my motorcycling days are over. Yes, I've crashed.

US129 is 582 miles long. Tail of the Dragon runs from Deals Gap, NC to Tabcat Creek in TN. There is a curve, on average, every 168 FEET. Can PCH beat that?
