    Saturday September 17, 2011 I finally got to drive Deal's Gap. And let me tell you, it was everything I could have expected and more! I only wish it were longer! I cannot wait to see when Killboy gets that day posted. So far the only one that has that day posted is Squid, and I'm not on there! Yeah my sentra may not be much to look at, but couldn't they tell by the way I was driving that I'm an enthusiast?!

    Also, this was on, ON my first anniversary.... my wife rocks!!

    Congrads! I was there for the first time on the 14th. I was driving my Dad's big Lincoln, and it was still fun

    For bonus fun, look at KillBoy running parts of the dragon on a big wheel

    Congrats, welcome to the club. I lived an hour away for four years. God I miss it so.

    I agree it is a great road, congrats. I still live about and hour away, and haven't been up there in years. Then again there are alot of roads like the Dragon only shorter that I drive on everyday so it's not too big a deal.

    Man, I need to find some time to go on Deals gap and the Dragon. Not that far from me, just always seem to have stuff to do and not enough time to do it.

    I was watching a show on this road http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yungas_Road

    Makes the Dragon and Deals Gap seem like mild. Yet I have some strange desire to drive that road. I must be nuts.

    I wanted to drive Santeetlah Road off of Joyce Kilmer (site of the SCCA hill climb) while in the area, but did not have time. It didn't matter much...we did a lot of other driving in the park, and even the worst roads there are more fun than the best roads in FL
