Ask moreland4 ... he has been there... we live at the top of a mountain on a dead end drive that is paved all the way up to my garage... no worries with anyone tampering with it...

Yes, I've been there. As a matter of fact, as I was being led up the winding, twisting "driveway", I began to ask myself how well do I know this dude! Didn't hear any banjos so I went the rest of the way. His wife Sassy is great as well as his father-in-law Norm.

Tony lives in the most scenic of scenic places. Beautiful views and roads designed by motorcyclists for sure. Can't wait to return.

Well thank you Mike! Can't wait fir this thing to happen! Sassy and Pigpen are working hard at getting the info needed... after July, I will pitch in a lot more to help bring it all together...

If you all want dueling banjo's we can make that happen....we will head one of the rides through tallulah ga, where they made the movie deliverance....while I am at it...i will order up some genuine shine for you boys....

And here I was gonna take them up Yellow Creek Rd in Robbinsville where the other part of deliverance was filmed...
