It’s the Blue Ridge Parkway alright, but that’s the Linn Cove Viaduct in North Carolina. The parkway in Virginia runs through much gentler terrain by comparison.
I’ve driven the Tail of the Dragon. That’s one he!! of a drive. If your attention drifts, you could wind up deader than you ever dreamed possible. 318 curves in an eleven mile stretch. Like riding a Mad Mouse at an amusement park. Ironiclay, it’s also a speed trap. Cops are there itching to give you a ticket for speeding. Anyway, it’s worth a trip. Gotta do it again.
