Tail of the Dragon Closed - Rock Slide

[Dr. Dolittle]

This was brought up in another thread but I thought I'd post it here for perhaps a wider audience. If you were planning on doing the Dragon in the near future, you'll need to rethink your itinerary since a rock slide has temporarily closed access to it.

Was looking forward to riding this in June. Guess my vacation plans just altered slightly.

Hey Doc, Ole Andy here should have read your post before he headed out!

YouTube - Man drives into a rockslide

Holy Cow! :newsmile108:

I saw that on TV the other day - and we wonder how drivers can claim they don't see us - this guy plows into a giant pile of rocks!!!

We share the road with people like this every day. It's a wonder how we survive!!!

But, it does make for great entertainment value on Youtube. Just hope I never become part of the entertainment.

He was perhaps busy sending a text just to busy to look out the window and see there was no more road

And the idiot still had his cell phone in his hand, that's some scarey stuff.

Apparently, the road is open. I believe April 12th or 13th.
