FSETH is on a distinguished road
MD, That info was literally right on the Dragon's homepage. I have no clue how I missed it. I guess I clicked on news and searched around every other tab. Should have just scrolled down. Anyway, thanks for spoon feeding me.

We take 129 from Highway 19 heading up to the lake and I agree, 129 is a great road before you get to the Dragon. In fact, 129 just south of the dragon/Fugitive Bridge where the road parallels the river is one of my favorite sections.

I am really looking forward to the Cherohala Skyway as it is more open. I have also heard that the temperature is typically significantly lower once you get up in elevation, which should be nice. The Dragon is fun, but it is very, very tight. My buddy (who competed in BMWCCA Club racing for the past few years) was giving the 4.8i sport package about 8 tenths the last time we were up there and I felt a little green once or twice from the passenger seat. I always feel much better driving the Dragon than being a passenger.

After we hit the CS this trip, we may shoot for the Moonshiner28 next time. Plenty of great roads to drive in that area.
