Tail of Dragon cruise - SC - TN - 2 nights

10/31/2025 01:00 PM - 11/2/2025 09:00 PM

CCA Annual event for Tail of the Dragon - 2 night hotel - stay tuned for more info. 2024 we had many attend and all said it was great, Bill and Lori Waldrop headed up 2024 and will again in 2025. In my opinion (Harry Taylor) the return trip on HWY-78 south is actually more fun and more curves and longer route than the actual tail of the dragon. So you get 2 tails on this trip!

stay tuned for updates for changes for the 2025 trip.

We will meet at the Quick trip in Oakwood, GA - 985 / 53 on Friday morning at 9:00 am and depart at 9:15 am. 2 night CCA event lead by Bill & Lori Waldrop. Leave Friday morning 🎈see links to places and stops below🎈 Lunch at Tapaco Lodge  …Saturday -  Cruise through the Tail of the Dragon … Stop at 129 Hub for photo op and visit store … Lunch at Bert’s Hometown Grill … Stop at Charles Hall Museum … Cruise over Cherohala Skyway back to Robbinsville, NC. … Dinner at Lynn’s Place Resturant Robbinsville, NC … stay at hotel both nights in Robbinsville.

 

You may have done the Tail of Dragon previously. Did you know the whole road was re-paved in May 2024? So now the road is worked through and just PERFECT!

318 curves in 11 miles!
