Locally known as the road through Deal's Gap. With last year's heavy rainfall,
several big winter snows and the usual gravity at work, slides have happened
all over western NC. The biggest/most troublesome was the huge slide onto
Interstate 40, which has been closed since October.

I saw this vid yesterday and it finally turned up in the local Asheville rag;
Route 129, where this slide occurred is actually the road leading into the
Deal's Gap/"Dragon" section, from the TN side.

Hope this guy doesn't drive or worse, ride an m'cycle through there often: he is clueless.
Keep it under a buck fifty and, between the fences...

The I-40 slide; looks like a mole hill, but huge area covered and, very
very steep. I-40 may open around late April, early May...the time consumer is blasting
and reinforcing the vertical wall left by the "face" of the mtn coming down in the slide.
