Wife and I made that trip last Aug. The temp on the Skyway was 61* in the afternoon. One of the most beautiful rides we have been on. Thanks for posting.
Yes, they are. But that picture is not from the Dragon.
Well not technically if you count the dragon as just the 318 curves. But that is US129 on the NC side at the bottom of the mountain right before you start hitting some serious curves. A mile up the road from the bridge is the Deals gap motel. I have passed several trucks on that bridge going both ways as it is the last straight section for 11+ miles.
