|  Deal's Gap 2008 ride reports and photos We had a great time, and while our riding with some of the group was limited to a run through the Dragon in the dark, we got to talk and hang out for a few hours. These are some good folk. Help me out if I don't get the names right: Kelley, Everett, Sean, Rick, Clint, Vinnie, Chris, Greg, Adam, Shon.

| Thanks for all the photos Clint. I was thinking today after I left your place that we did not take any pics of you riding. Sorry pal!! Next time we will have to get you going by. My personal favorite.

| Thanks for sharing all this with us. Nice pics, looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Quick question, I saw a mention of the mini dragon. Isn't that NC28? I rode it in a cage about 9 years ago on my honeymoon, last week of December. It was absolutely beautiful seeing all the snow and ice on the mountains. As my motorcycle skills improve this is a ride I'm definitely going to make.

 | Mini Dragon is TN32??? Top right border of the Smokey Mountain National Park. Will have to give credit where it is due. Rainman came out with that little gem of a road for last years route. Definitely a good road to run. NC28 is also known as Hellbender 28 (named after the famous 3 ft long salamanders in that area).

| We ran Hellbender and tons of other roads. I am pretty sure there are a lot more that we missed.
