aren't there.

MD, I completely agree. My friends parents have lake houses on Santeetlah. I have been going there for about 8 years or so. Beautiful place by the way.
Their houses are basically right at the beginning of the tail, so I have driven it a few times (once in the X), but as you said, if you are there on a weekend or holiday, you are not going to be able to enjoy it. Last time I attempted to drive it I got stuck behind a guy on a Harley and he was sparking the bike on every turn. I thought he was going to get creamed because he couldn't even turn as sharp as he needed to. His bike kept scraping on the road so bad he actually drifted into the other lane multiple times. The last time I was there the whole road was completely shut down due to a bad motorcycle accident.
eyeguy, I agree with MD, if there weren't plenty of deisel in that area, it would be a ghost town.
