The next day a group called Muscle Car Evolution ran the same routes we did. One of their group got a little carried away:

No one was hurt, but the truck was a total. He lost it on one of the curves by vogul and flipped it. Wonder if his engine would fit in a Honda?

Bummer! Yes, glad no one was hurt... trucks can be replaced.

I was a couple of weeks late, but I ran the roads and your guys route. I have done the 'Dragon' area quite extensively and driven up 129 via Helen, but not all the roads in between.

Also...RT 60 from the top northward back to 515 is newly paved. Very nice. Hopefully next time I can hook up with ya'll on the next run.

Hey Chris,

Next time you are in the area you are more than welcome to come meet up with us!!! Maybe you can get away from all the nasty weather coming your way, and go on our August mountain run this Sunday, August 24th (see the thread a few under this one)!
