Yeah, have my second vote for hwy 80 as one of the *greatest* roads on the face of the EARTH. It is *major* *FUN*, at 5000 RPM in second gear... Going uphill is quite safe - the thing is steep enough to shorten to a couple dozen feet the stopping distances in case one needs to duck onto the shoulder to let by somebody going downhill ... looking at the drivers' white faces, eyes bugged-out in utter terror, and sparks flying from the brakes just adds to the uphill enjoyment. Yippee! Hwy 74 from Asheville to Chimney Rock is also OK, but it pales in comparison to 80... KK -- Kris Kozminski kk@mcnc.org "55 saves lives. 110 saves twice as much"
