On the Dragon

This is a very poor scan of a slide taken in 2000 of me and one of my brother's sons, Kent. This overlook is on the world famous "Dragon", a motorcycle and sports car run along the western edge of the park. It has, it is told, 318 turns in 11 miles of U.S. Highway 129. One or two people (three as of August of this year, 2005) die on this road annually as can be seen, along with other interesting information, at this web address:

I ride it once or twice a year and that’s enough. And yes, that is a tattoo. Of my wife. Her bike is the one Kent is riding.

Cool pic and description. I don't think I would last very long on that road.

looks a a fun but slightly dangerous drive- a great spot for a photo op!

That must really be the ride of a life time. What a beauty! I am glad to see that you posted this shot and that you nor your dragon was among the casualties. It must be quite a kick though, to ride one of these engines...
