On the way back from the delivery of Rufus, a night in a cabin in the Smokey Mtns, then a day in dog-friendly Asheville, NC, we drove back across US129--a very famous route over the NC-TN border better known as "the Tail of the Dragon." It has 318 curves in 11 miles and has become a mecca of sorts for motorcycle and sportscar enthusiasts from all over the country. They get such a high volume of that traffic that there are several entrepreneur photographers that setup every weekend along the route to take pictures of each vehicle that passes to later sell on the web. Santa Claus must've deployed some of his elves out there this year, because I got some of these today:
